Libel Shields From Media Under Nixon Plan
Washington AP Nixon orders Justice Department to draft legislation to strip media libel protections for public officials and figures. White House officials say the aim is to give political candidates stronger defenses against slander in campaigns. The plan seeks to overturn the 1964 Supreme Court ruling granting newspapers immunity from such suits, risking a constitutional clash over press freedom. Nixon hinted at the proposal during a news conference and planned to reveal details with a campaign reform package to Congress.
