If Zenger had lost his case, my news media different about history, politics and society, and publishing now.
The trial of John Peter Zenger in 1735 was a landmark case for freedom of the press in colonial America. Zenger, a newspaper publisher, was charged with seditious libel for criticizing the colonial governor. His defense argued that truth should be a valid defense against libel charges, challenging the existing legal standards. The jury's decision to acquit Zenger established a precedent that contributed to the development of the principle of press freedom, emphasizing the importance of free expression and the role of the press in holding government accountable.

SInce you don't tell me what method of handling rights you wish me to compare handling them on a case by case basis to, I cannot tell you what makes it different from any other method. What I can note is that handling rights on a case by case basis means handling each case alone, on its own merits.
The differences is that one cases is criminal and the other is a civil case.

John Peter Zenger was a printer who fought for freedom of the press in colonial America, much like how Fahrenheit 451 explores themes of censorship and the importance of free thought.
