When it becomes out of the ordinary hearing outright lies that destroy careers then I'll know the standards we base our libel and slander laws have returned to a sufficient standard as they were in past

Courts helping Hulk Hogan, a Hollywood star, is not a shining beacon giving me much hope

When courts rule for conservatives in libel and slander cases then I'll have hope
