Yes, it’s time to change America’s libel laws to stop the deliberate lies and false smears pushed by left-wing “journalists”

Our founders thought that a free press was so important to the maintenance of the new republic that they included it as part of the very first amendment to the Constitution.
But thanks to the American Left, extremists one and all, that concept is has been stretched beyond its limits in the age of POTUS Donald Trump.
Not only has the Democrat-friendly “mainstream media” published one fake news story after another involving the president, his family, and his administration, now we have so-called “journalists” completely fabricating quotes and then attributing them to the president despite the negative impact it could have on national security, foreign policy, and domestic tranquility.
Over the Memorial Day holiday, a Trump-hating “journalist” for Time Magazine and professor at New York University, Ian Bremmer, tweeted a supposed ‘quote’ uttered by the president during a state visit to our Asian ally Japan.
Bremmer posted on Twitter (now deleted) that the president said, “Kim Jong Un is smarter and would make a better President than Sleepy Joe Biden.”
Later, he backtracked and wrote, “This is objectively a completely ludicrous quote. And yet kinda plausible. Especially on twitter, where people automatically support whatever political position they have. That’s the point.”
‘Kinda plausible?’
He is right about one thing: If the ‘quote’ supports a person’s political beliefs — in this case, Trump hate, no matter what — it will get supported. And retweeted.
In fact, several people did retweet Bremmer’s fake quote, including lawmakers like perennial Trump troll Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.). In fact, as reported by The Washington Examiner, Bremmer did not confess to fabricating the post until after it was noticed and repeated by Left-wing hacks like Lieu and CNN analyst Ana Navarro-Cardenas (whose Trump Derangement Syndrome is well into the advanced stages) and then spread around the cybersphere as a real quote. (Related: Leftist media now calling edited videos accurately depicting a mindless Pelosi “doctored” in an attempt to discredit them.)
He finally apologized, but it was too late
