With celebrities there used to be a saying: “Any publicity is good publicity.” Meaning that even the most outlandish and heinous lie about them would keep their name before the public, and could later be disproven with their reputation restored.

There is a case going on in Newton Iowa right now that relates to this. A teenager named Tayvin Galanakis was pulled over for a headlight infraction, and with zero probable cause, was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. A comprehensive drug test proves the kid was sober, and the kid goes home and posts on social media a link to an article showing that the arresting officer had a protection from abuse order filed against him from a former girlfriend, asking why an officer was allowed to remain on the force after committing domestic assault. Now that officer is suing the kid for defamation and libel. Precedents like this prove that this officer has no legal leg to stand on, but he's still allowed to abuse the legal system to punish a teenager. Sound fair?

Yeah, like personally I feel that someone who knowingly publishes false or highly misleading/ incomplete information should 100% be held accountable under the law. I don't get why people can't understand the difference between a free press and basically allowing biased reporters to bend the truth any which way (and sometimes outright lie) with basically zero consequence.

I think both sides were wrong. If someone knowingly publishes false information with the purpse of defamation, then that should be illegal(Like what the NYT did here). However, Sullivan went overboard in sueing everyone involved and not trying to talk it out first, as well as claiming it was a personal attack when it was clearly an attack on the department.
