What definition are you using where "free" means to blatantly fricking lie?

He's right and he's wrong. Just like the media.

I know people will try to slant this, but the press and journalists had a code at one time.

Now they just spew whatever garbage that promotes their agenda.

Conservatives used to pretend to tolerate speech they didn't like

Now they just favor any restrictions that promote their agenda

Basically any definition you care to share. Some of Trumps most ardent supporters openly laud his ability to "blatantly fricking lie", and yes, he is free to do it.

Even a democracy like the UK has libel laws. That are followed

So its not an outlandish assertion on Trumps part

It certainly would slam shut all the anonymous sourcing that continues unchecked

I'll start with every single time Trump has ever said something that starts:

"People, many, many people have called me since that took place, and they all say the same thing, they say Trump..."

If it's factual, then prove it. If it's opinion, then it needs to be labeled so.

If someone lies about me, i can take them to court for slander. The shite these papers are printing at times borders on slander.

What free press? The press that is owned by moneyed interests, or the press owned by political activism organizations?

I'm sure I don't know what you mean.

His most common one is his one about the US being the most taxed country in the world.

My target is not Trump, never has been

It's the people who will change their entire ideology from day to day based on his tweets
