From WNYC in New York, this is on the media. I'm Brooke Gladstone. And I'm Bob Garfield. The age of Trump,

the age of polarization, the age of alternate facts, also seems to be shaping up to be the age of defamation.

This week, for instance, came the lawsuit filed against Info Wars, the conspiracy-mongering media outlet

most notorious for denying the reality of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.

Sandy Hook is a synthetic, completely fake, with actors, in my view, manufactured.

I couldn't believe it at first. And then the weird videos

of reported parents of kids laughing and all of a sudden they do the hyperventilating

to cry to go on TV. All I know is something's going on. Infowars host Alex Jones now stands

accused of defamation and conspiracy, one of several defamation cases being brought against

him.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump faces a suit from a former contestant on his reality TV show

whose allegation that Trump kissed and groped her was met by the now-standard presidential

counter-alligation that she is a liar.

The lawyer for porn actress and self-described Trump's sex partner Stormy Daniels says

she's mulling a similar suit.

As is the lawyer for former FBI director Andrew McCabe,

who tweeted Thursday that Trump's tweets on the matter would serve such a case beautifully.

It's a constant duel of you're a liar, no, you're a liar on the

world's biggest stage. But till now, it seems to have taken place with impunity. Larissa Lidski is a

First Amendment expert and dean of the University of Missouri School of Law. And I have a checklist of

legal questions for her.

Dean Litsky, welcome to on the media.
