“This week, we watched as the world’s richest man appeared to give a Nazi salute at Trump’s post-inauguration rally. Twice. Then we watched as mainstream media outlets bent over backwards to avoid saying what we all saw,” writes Parker Molloy for her newsletter, The Present Age.
She explains why, as neo-Nazis and white nationalists applauded the gesture, mainstream outlets have been muted. “The answer lies in our broken defamation laws and the way wealthy individuals can weaponize them against critics. This is a legitimate free speech crisis.”
