'Murder the Truth' examines effort to silence journalists
The Supreme Court ruled in 1964 that journalistic organizations were protected from libel or defamation lawsuits brought by a public figure unless that plaintiff could prove the journalists had acted intentionally. The book, “Murder the Truth," documents a well-funded effort to undo that longstanding protection. William Brangham spoke with author David Enrich for our series, On Democracy.
