rattler, You last post shows that you know way too little about libel laws to be posting on the Internet, much less publishing a newspaper. It is a good thing newspapers have the extra protection of the NY Times v Sullivan decision. Libel and slander are torts, most of which have no protection under the First Amendmendment. The First Amendment applies to political speech, for individuals and the press, but has been extended by liberal judges to protect pornography, music, lousy art, tatoos, clothing, other things. You need to hire a lawyer and listen to him.
I am not a lawyer, but from what some of the professed lawyers posting here tell me, I had a lot more education in libel than they did in my law classes.
