Sue the media? Empty Sue the media?

Reviving a controversial theme that President Trump brought up on the campaign trail, Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said Sunday that the administration has “looked at” potential changes to libel laws that would make it easier for Trump to sue news organizations that criticize him.

“I think it's something that we've looked at,” Priebus told Jonathan Karl on ABC's “This Week.”

“How that gets executed or whether that goes anywhere is a different story,” he added.

Priebus criticized “articles out there that have no basis or fact” and alluded to reports on cable news stations about contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russia.

Priebus said the media needs “to be more responsible with how they report the news.”

Hmmm.. He couldn't have said with a straight face, could he?
