The enemies of Liberty Lobby are determined to shut down your populist Institution. Meanwhile, our attorneys are working against the clock to stop such an outrageous, unconstitutional miscarriage of justice. Jefferson in his long and distinguished career was no stranger to both praise and vilification by the press. To him a free press did not mean a license to print libelous and false material.
Truth is the criterion for a free press.
But government censorship for the sake of silencing an enemy is not a standard for such a press. Liberty Lobby has never had to correct a significant error. Lane wrote about this historic trial in his book Plausible Denial, of which 400,000 copies were sold. Of the trial itself, not a word was mentioned in the Establishment media except for a brief perfunctory mention in The Miami Herald, where the trial took place. Liberty Lobby sued him for libel in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, which dismissed the case.
