Flipboard News Desk<p>More than 60 years ago, New York Times C. v. Sullivan established that, to succeed in defamation cases, public figures must prove that a published statement is false and that publishers acted with "actual malice." "Murder the Truth," a new book by New York Times journalist and editor David Enrich, discusses the movement to overturn Sullivan, accelerated by Trump, his allies and people who are influenced by them. Nieman Lab spoke to Enrich about his investigation, the journalists he spoke to, and more. "The push to overturn Roe was obviously one of the most coordinated assaults on established Supreme Court precedent, probably in history," Enrich says. "This is definitely not like that — but it’s not an accident that these people were getting up and being given platforms on places like Fox News to make these arguments over and over again."</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/AVGQcJ" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/AVGQcJ</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/USLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USLaw</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Law</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Libel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Libel</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Defamation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Defamation</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Journalism</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/MurderTheTruth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MurderTheTruth</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History January 19, 1764: The British House of Commons expelled John Wilkes for seditious libel. Wilkes was a radical journalist and politician who fought for the right of his voters, rather than the House of Commons, to determine their representatives. In 1768, the authorities arrested him. His supporters protested and soldiers shot them in the St George's Fields Massacre. During the American Revolution, Wilkes supported the American rebels. However, in 1780, he commanded militia forces which helped put down the Gordon Riots, damaging his popularity with many radicals. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rebels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rebels</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/riots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>riots</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/militia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>militia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/libel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>libel</span></a></p>

Edward Champion<p>I see that <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://journa.host/@stribley" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>stribley</span></a></span> is now openly defaming me by falsely claiming that I am "seething with hate" and that I've been "unhinged" for twenty years. I've never met this asshole before. He hasn't contacted me. And this guy isn't a psychiatrist. This purported "journalist" is committing open libel and defamation against me. Should I likewise start saying that Robert Stribley has molested small children for twenty years because I've done my own "research"? </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/libel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>libel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/defamation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>defamation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/robertstribley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>robertstribley</span></a></p>
