The Free Speech law needs to be amended to say that all free speech is allowed but lies are punishable by law. Outright lies are NOT free speech. Period!
Just saying that one can be quite misleading without telling a single lie, and Faux News is expert at it. I'm sorry, I don't mean to discourage you from caring.
No. I understand completely but if some serious guardrails don't get put into place, it will never end. It will have to end up coming down to semantics and "the whole truth" type of amendment.
The Fairness Doctrine needs to come back, though under Trump there's 0% chance that will happen. There were so many terrible things the Reagan administration did that the Democrats didn't reverse.
Hey Fox how low will you go? To attack a veteran who not only served in a war but was handicapped because of the war!
Jesse Watters did you serve in any war for your country?
Wouldn’t libel be telling an untruth if she hasn’t paid property tax even if it’s misleading the public it’s the truth…sad to say that because not telling the whole story should be illegal.
Senator Duckworth lives in Illinois, therefore, as a disabled veteran she is likely entitled to several property tax exemptions including Veterans with Disability exemption.
I understand that…but saying she hasn’t paid property tax isn’t libel in this instance…I wouldn’t think..they just failed to tell the whole truth that she has been exempt from paying property taxes…due to the sacrifice she’s made for her country.
A few things here:
(1) the Fox article is almost 7 yrs old.
(2) The watch dog they are attributing the story to died in Feb, 2023
(3) A lie without substantiation is still a lie
(4) By Illinois state law a disabled veteran is entitled to certain exemptions on property rendering the issue moot.
A lie of omission. They omitted the fact that she is exempt because of her military disability status. I don't know if it is libel or not. Fox is not news.
I’m from Illinois and I’m glad we show appreciation for our troops injured and was brave enough to serve our country unlike those who claim bone spurs and try to rob our nation blind.
THIS is exactly why #DementiaDonny and #FelonMusk bang on about “fReE sPeEcH”, so they can lie and lie and lie with impunity, as well as their propaganda outlets, but God forbid anyone DARE say anything critical (true) about them that they don’t like.
