[Right Scoop] In a dissent to a libel case, tossed because it failed to stand up to the "actual malice" standard established under the 1964 Supreme Court case New York Times v. Sullivan, Washington, DC, Senior Circuit Judge Laurence Silberman urged the court to reexamine and possibly overturn that case, stating that "conservatives are oppressed by liberal outlets, academia and tech companies that combine to create ’a frighteningly orthodox media culture.'"
And Silberman took no hostages when he noted where he believed that frightening orthodoxy might lead. |
