Malicious intent is very important in case law.<s> And the last two years posts are recorded...

During yesterday's testimony, jurors received a lesson in libel law and the First Amendment as two expert witnesses explained the legal standard established by the High Court in the 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan case. Both Robert R. Douglas, a journalism professor and former managing editor of the Arkansas Gazette, and Joseph Farah, founder of the Western Journalism Center and publisher of the Internet newspaper WorldNetDaily, agreed that the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled that "actual malice" and/or "reckless disregard for the truth" were necessary to void the sweeping First Amendment protection on journalistic expression.
