CBA or no CBA, there is no way anyone shoud be allowed to go around aimlessly smearing someone. Someone needs to be held accountable.

From a moral standpoint I agree 100%!

From a legal standpoint, the precedent has been set. If public slander, or inaccurate accounts were culpable offenses there would be no news agencies in business and prisons would be full of politicians.

I have never seen a political candidate taken to task for outright lies about his opponent during a campaign.

That's because politicians and news agencies aren't suspending or firing people that they're in the process of slandering. It's bad enough to start a rumor, but to convict upon nothing more is outrageous.
