Summary
Donald Trump has launched a series of legal actions against major news outlets, including the New York Times, CBS News, and the Washington Post, demanding billions in damages for alleged defamatory coverage.
A letter from Trump’s attorney accuses the Times of engaging in “industrial-scale libel” and targets articles scrutinizing Trump’s business and political conduct.
Legal complaints have also been filed over CBS’s alleged pro-Kamala Harris edits and Washington Post articles purportedly aiding her campaign.
Legal experts warn that such litigation could have a “chilling effect” on journalism, especially for smaller outlets.

Agreed. The fact that he’s butthurt about milquetoast things like NYT says a lot.
