Another Gem from Newsmax, St. Reagan's Martyr Brigade

Nancy Reagan Should Sue CBS
“The Reagans” is nothing but a defamatory hatchet job sanctioned for the sole purpose of destroying a dying man’s legacy. The author of the screenplay, the producers and CBS all know
that.

Therefore, CBS must be stopped from ever airing the program.

Ah yes, because public criticism of a public figure hurts their reputation...so its SLANDER! Actually, its libel, something which seems to suprise our esteemed collegues at newsmax, as you can see from the is excerpt:

Defamation comes in two “flavors”: libel and slander. Libel covers written or printed publication whereas slander covers verbal communication (publication). Libel is easier to prove because, unlike slander, libel is right there in black and white.


Interestingly, courts generally consider defamation that occurs via television broadcast “libel” as opposed to “slander.”


But clearly, this guy knows what he's talking about, he's looked up a few supreme court precedents! Do realize how much work that is? Though even the laziest high school student in the world could just dick around with google for a few minutes and do the same thing, it is still really impressive. Really. It is so impressive that I'm sure this column is going straight on fridge of the author's mother, right over that really ugly collage and the equivalency diploma from that internet university.

I know that this post doesn't really make sense, but don't forget the moral of the story: newsmax is written by dumb bastards for really dumb bastards.
