... a suppurating pustule of virulent malice. What he did HAS to be illegal!

ON EDIT: So, a little research tells me that it's NOT illegal, though in a practical sense, when someone stretches the 1st Amendment so far that it gets someone else hurt or killed, it definitely should be. Freedom of speech is not, never has been, and never should be, absolute. There is ugly precedent for intimidation having lethal consequences for the victims, and I'm pretty sure that witness tampering IS illegal. And no sentient being can deny that Watters and Pox News are blatantly guilty of exactly that.
