[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2068785, member: 18914"] Nope - no fines for being wrong that would be a very bad attack on the 1st Amendment soemthing that 2nd Amendment supported should not want to see. The amendments don't oppose each other they are all part of the same package of key rights singled out for special recognition by the Founding Fathers. The only punishment should be for deliberate destruction of a person's reputation and the standard for proff has to be fairly high. The "truth" issue is that who defines what is truthful "enough". Are we really wanting to turn the news outlets into nothing more than relayers of fact sheets? Will all supposition or inference or educated guessing be suppressed? I guarantee you that any power to punish news agencies handed to the government (or frankly to you or I) will eventually be used in an arbitrary and capricious manner. [/QUOTE]
