Discussion: Consider the tort of defamation

Consider the tort of defamation; the required elements; and who and what the tort is intended to protect. Please read the articles linked here in Group A and Group B . Each has two short articles concerning two distinct situations where the tort of defamation seems to be in conflict with free speech rights. After you have read the four articles, please respond to the prompt. It is best to organize your answer by dealing with each situation distinctly rather than mixing up your comments for both. In other words, answer the prompt with respect to Group A, then answer the prompt with respect to Group B. Include an introductory paragraph and a conclusion pulling together the aspects of your responses to both the situation in Group A and Group B.
Are defamation suits a way for the wealthy and powerful to silence their personal critics and critics of their deeply held ideologies?
