Trump continues massive LAWFARE campaign against his enemies by suing the The New York Times for $15 BILLION for defaming him.
Before I weigh in on this, I was a news hound for years. I used to read the LA times, USA today, New York Times, etc. Frequently. When they went full tilt left, I was so disappointed and angry. I couldn’t believe they could be so stupid to alienate half their reader base simply to appease a political party. But then I realized the political party had taken over their businesses.
Recently, I subscribed to the New York Times because they gave me a deal for something like a dollar for three months. I read enough of their articles to justify a dollar I guess. But unless I get another killer deal, I will cancel it when the three months are up. Other than that, I would never pay for the news anymore because it is so freaking incredibly politically biased— even right here in red State Idaho, where the Idaho Statesman is shockingly nothing more than the communication arm for the Democrat party.
All that said, I haven’t seen where NYT has slandered or defamed Trump. I haven’t seen anything that would warrant a $15 billion lawsuit. He has sued them and lost in the past. Although this time he may not lose because he has the most powerful legal team ever because he extorted multiple legal firms into doing pro bono work for him, which itself is most likely illegal.
Again, I know the press is biased, and I don’t like it; but at the same time, the press are the only people who have access to the White House and all the people in office! It’s not like you and I can go to the press room and ask questions  of our government. Therefore, I would rather have a biased press than no press at all. 
Trump has a very different perspective. He would rather have no press than a biased press. Let that sink in. He doesn’t even want a neutral press; he wants a pro Trump press. He wants a press that continually brags about him, supports his agenda, and glorifies him with every story. He basically wants to dictate the news. He absolutely can’t stand to be criticized, even from news organizations that are ostensibly on his side.
If Trump had his way, there would be no press. There would only be a “White House Wire.“ I’m here to tell you, that’s no different than having a government news agency, like we see in Russia and North Korea. That’s not a free republic. That’s an autocracy. is that what we want? Sadly, some people do want that. I actually hear people on social media saying “I am OK with Trump being a dictator.” These people know not what they speak of. They have lost their minds, and they’re about to lose their freedoms.
