CNN may be 'hurting' if they lose this one!

The case may not be as well known (yet), but CNN could be facing a defamation liability rivaling or exceeding the $787 million Fox News paid out to Dominion Voting Systems. NewsBusters recently reported on Florida’s First District Court of Appeals affirming that plaintiff Zachary Young could seek punitive damages, in addition to economic and emotional damages, from the Cable News Network in a civil trial after they allegedly defamed him regarding his work in getting people out of Afghanistan. The total could near or exceed $1 billion.

For that outcome to be remotely in the cards, Young needed to prove malice and according to the ruling, he’s done exactly that. “Young sufficiently proffered evidence of actual malice, express malice, and a level of conduct outrageous enough to open the door for him to seek punitive damages,” Judge L. Clayton Roberts wrote in the court’s ruling.

It is about time the news media actually gets sued and has to assume responsibility for the crap they spew about John Q. Public.

For way too long, they have s**t on the 'little people', knowing they would never be held accountable for their actions. But now, it appears the courts are not as friendly to the media as they once were.

Personally, I think this is a good thing!!!

But what do I know, I'm just a peon...
