'Murder the Truth' examines effort to silence journalists
Season 2025
Episode 76
About the Episode
The Supreme Court ruled in 1964 that journalistic organizations were protected from libel or defamation lawsuits brought by a public figure unless that plaintiff could prove the journalists had acted intentionally. The book, “Murder the Truth," documents a well-funded effort to undo that longstanding protection. William Brangham spoke with author David Enrich for our series, On Democracy.
