- Donald Trump said he's planning on suing a newspaper over an election poll he didn't like.
- It's in keeping with a flurry of recent threats — and suits — Trump has filed against the media.
- That can create a landscape where publishers will have to be extra careful about what they say.
A pretty good journalism rule of thumb: Someone threatening to sue someone isn't news.
