In today’s political climate, lies run rampant, and too often the lies come directly from the media. They feel protected because the laws regarding defamation are more lenient when a public figure is the subject. But President Donald Trump is pushing back against the lies and suing the media. Once again, he is standing up for all of us and I could not be happier.
We all remember the bogus editing on the Kamala Harris “60 Minutes” interview. The deceptive editing made Harris look prepared and somewhat presidential. In reality, her answer was scattered and downright embarrassing. The edit could have altered the voters’ opinions had they not been caught. Thankfully, Trump did not accept a mere apology. He sued and won. Paramount Global, CBS’s parent company, paid $16 million and will now release transcripts of all future interviews with presidential candidates.
