The court’s had to intervene on behalf of the press with Trump. They didn’t have to with Obama. And Trump resisted the courts on this.

The 2020 election for example had some lawsuits by voting machine makers that revealed that conservative networks knew a lot of Trump’s claims were lies but ran with them to please their conservative audiences. And the networks paid big sums to settle.
