Per Wiki, a public individual (celebrity, politician, etc) can’t sue for incorrect information unless it is shown that the outlet knew it was false or showed a reckless disregard for the truth.


Given that Buzzfeed didn’t see the evidence supporting their accusations, that may meet the standard for “reckless disregard for the truth.”

Buzzfeed just destroyed all their credibility in less than 24 hours.

Thanks. Maybe I should have asked my question differently.

Is there enough here for a successful, punishing libel suit?

Considering how badly Buzzfeed got caught with its pants down, I think there is one.

Real question is whether Trump wants to pour the time and resources into keeping this story alive.


He’s enough of a troll that I think he’d do it if only to find a way to make multiple outlets admit they fricked up in reporting it.

Same line that is used to keep the dossier in play


Or the even more ridiculous line constantly used by the TDS crowd in regards to the dossier and also used during the anti-Kavanaugh witch hunt...

"Well the dossier hasn't been proven false so..." and "he hasn't proven he's innocent of rape/sexual assault so..."

As if the burden of proof is on the accused to prove their innocence or prove a negative ????
