Conservative Conversations with ISI

What Are the Limits to Free Speech?


Listen Later

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Carson Holloway, a distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Nebraska Omaha and a Washington Fellow at the Claremont Institute's Center for the American Way of Life. Holloway, an accomplished author, delves into the complex dynamics of press accountability in modern America, drawing from his essay, "Rethinking Libel: Defamation and Press Accountability."

Together, we revisit the landmark 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan case that established the malice standard in libel law, exploring its far-reaching implications on political discourse. Holloway offers a compelling critique of the current state of media liberties, arguing that unchecked freedom to defame can erode the very foundations of democratic debate.

Join us as we explore potential remedies to this imbalance and consider how the Founders' views on free speech and freedom of the press might inform today’s challenges. This episode is essential listening for anyone concerned with the integrity of public discourse and the role of the media in a healthy democracy.
