In the article, it stated that Smartmatic (election voting machine company) is suing Fox News and lawyers representing Donald Trump for 2.7 billion dollars. This is in addition to the Dominion lawsuit that was filed last month for defamation.

Questions:
1. Freedom of speech and press is essential to democracy. What part does the government play in ensuring freedom of speech?

2. What part do average citizens play in protecting free speech, even when that speech is incorrect?

3. Should lying be illegal (punishable by law)?]]> 2021-02-05 14:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_tekoppel/jopupk0rgxr33and/wish/1168546340
