BREAKING: SECNAV Denies Resignation Threat

[RedState] In a not quite unexpected twist, the Secretary of the Navy, Richard V. Spencer strongly denied a New York Times report (go figure) that he had threatened to resign over the CPO Gallagher case. From the article in Defense News

Here’s the best part, emphasis mine

he would comply if Trump orders him to stop plans for a Navy hearing to decide whether to strip Special Warfare Operator Chief Edward "Eddie" Gallagher of his SEAL trident.

NYT lied?!!!

#2 F---ing liars. Hit them with a libel lawsuit.

This wild carnival of nonstop libel and slander has to be shit down with a round of Sandmann-style multi-million $ libel suits.

#5 Time for 'honest' control of the media. No special regulations. In fact the removal of 'special' altogether. Make them libel for bad products like car makers, lettuce growers, et al. If you can regulate 'guns' you can regulate 'press'*.

*press in 1792 was all about the technology of information flow not the institution that co-opted the term which is more involved with distortion, suppression and fabrication of information.

#6 Apply same rules to media as currently apply to doctors re malpractice. Add attorneys to that list while at it.

#9 #5 Like the press never tires of telling us re: the Second Amendment, the Constitution is a living, breathing document, and technological change mitigates against strict adherence to it.

#11 ...You are fired. Didn't learn from the Kelly event - don't lie or misrepresent to the boss.

#12 It looks like, yes, he did try to cut a deal with the White House. Behind the DoD back too. So... Bye
