Are you trying to suggest that if a news network interviews someone, and that person lies, the network is responsible?

lies are not illegal. if what the person says is illegal though, a publisher can be sued and face the same liability

What does this have to do with CNBC discontinuing Trump's press conference? Do you think he said something illegal?
