In this The Gateway Pundit article, Jenn Baker highlights a North Carolina defamation lawsuit against National File publisher Noel Fritsch as a troubling example of lawfare against independent media threatening free speech.
- Fritsch faces two suits from attorney Jennifer Karpowicz Bland and Judge Jerry Tillett over a December 2025 article referencing a public audio recording.
- Plaintiffs seek damages plus court orders to remove articles and bar future publication, amounting to unconstitutional prior restraint.
- Fritsch maintains the reporting addressed matters of public concern based on already-circulating information and denies wrongdoing.
- The American Rights Alliance warns such suits chill journalism by imposing massive legal costs even on protected speech, favoring wealthy plaintiffs who can outlast defendants.
- Strong anti-SLAPP laws are needed to quickly dismiss meritless cases and shift fees to deter censorship-by-lawsuit.
- The case exemplifies growing weaponization of courts against independent outlets covering powerful figures.
- Free speech requires protecting journalists from financial ruin for legitimate public interest reporting.
