    I feel an easy and rational solution is to criminalize a certain category of defamation… presenting something untrue/fabricated as true/real or in a way that it could be construed as true/real.

    I would love that solution, but it definitely wouldn’t have bipartisan support.

      There are certain political groups that have a vested interest in lying, deceiving, manipulating, and fabricating to get what they want. So… yeah. 😞

        I feel that’s just most political groups nowadays. Not implying both sides are the same, just that everyone likes their lies.
