No but they should be responsible not to spread lies and as their reputation, make stuff up. They’ve been caught time and time again

To be fair we are talking about violent threats, and if Trump received them. If you are consistent you'd think Trump also would be culpable of threats against himself.

Now the libs are arresting people who disagree with them in order to silence free speech

But if someone assassinated Trump for being a liar it would partially be Trump’s fault, right?

In 2014 they won a Pulitzer based on columnist Kevin Cullen’s lies . I’m not searching out and linking , if I throw a dog a bone I dont want to know if it tastes good or not

Of course you are not searching out and linking. You know the bolded is wrong and you can't document it.
The Pulitzer was based on coverage of the sexual abuse scandal of the Catholic archdiocese of Boston in which Cullen was a member of the investigative team. There are no allegations that any of the stories they ran contained fabrications, lies, or falsehoods.
Later it was discovered, in an unrelated matter, that Cullen had embellished and fabricated details in his accounting of what he saw at the Boston Marathon bombing in columns he wrote for The Boston Globe. In April of this year, the Globe suspended him three months without pay for that. There is no proof his editors or supervisors were aware of or participated in the Cullen's fabricated Marathon reporting pieces at the time they were published.

I would've gone with "HT is a vile piece of something or other, probably nothing pleasant" but namecalling is frowned upon so I didn't.

“I think today what has happened is that news reporting has become part of the adversary system.” Alan Dershowitz It has become tainted and corrupt! DJT
This from what is supposed to be a scholar of United States constitutional law, essentially agreeing with Trump that the press is "the enemy of the people." What the hell happened to Alan Dershowitz?

Looks like he is suggesting the FCC pull NBC's license.

NBC FAKE NEWS, which is under intense scrutiny over their killing the Harvey Weinstein story, is now fumbling around making excuses for their probably highly unethical conduct. I have long criticized NBC and their journalistic standards-worse than even CNN. Look at their license?

Justice Thomas says SCOTUS should reconsider New York Times v. Sullivan.
That was a case in which police in Montgomery, Ala. complained that an advertisement in the Times made them appear to have been somewhat more racist than was actually the case.

NYT v. Sullivan is the landmark Supreme Court case that has defined libel laws in the U.S. for more than 50 years. Clearance Thomas now wants to reconsider that ruling.

CNN just hired Sarah Isgur to coordinate its 2020 election campaign coverage. This is one of the strangest things I've seen CNN do. She was Sessions' spokesperson and a Sarah Sanders level liar and shill. She has zero journalism experience. She's now taken a senior role as a "political editor." Guess they want to embrace the "fake news" label.

sort of misses the point. this case established the actual malice standard for public figures. Trump campaigned on this--wanting to be able to sue the press for negative stories about him.

Blumenthal was arrested literally hours after The Grayzone published an article on USAID paying the salaries of Guaidó’s team as they lobbied the US government.
“I am firmly convinced that this case is part of a wider campaign of political persecution using the legal system to shut down our factual investigative journalism about the coup against Venezuela and the wider policy of economic warfare and regime change waged by the Trump administration,” Blumenthal stated.
If this had happened to a journalist in Venezuela, every Western human rights NGO and news wire would be howling about Maduro’s authoritarianism. It will be revealing to see how these same elements react to a clear-cut case of political repression in their own backyard.

Journalist Max Blumenthal hemmed up on what appear to be pretty bogus charges.

The Trump campaign has sued The New York Times for libel over an opinion article. Suit claims the Times must've known the *March 2019* op-ed was false because of what was in the *April 2019* Mueller report.

From Attorney Ted Boutrous:
Yet another egregious example of Trump abusing the judicial process to chill freedom of speech and of the press. This column is opinion based on disclosed facts about issues of great public concern relating to the President. The First Amendment unequivocally bars this lawsuit.
And in response to a question from @BrianKarem about his bogus Times lawsuit during the press conference in the White House briefing room, Trump threatens that more bogus libel suits to come.
