This article discusses on the contradictions between free expression and the rights of the newspapers to publish what it wants. In 1989, "The New York Times," champion of the First Amendment, declared in a review that Washington investigative reporter, Dan Moldea exhibited "too much sloppy journalism" in "Interference: How Organized Crime Influences Professional Football. Moldea wanted to respond in a letter, but the "Times" refused to let him which compelled Moldea to sue the "Times." It was found that "the trial court erred in ruling that the "Times" review could not be defamatory as a matter of law."
