Here's a question for #news #journalist types: Are news #Media liable for reporting factual statements which they know, or should have known, were false?
An infamous USA example: Dominion v #Fox, Fox was summarily judged to have made false statements, with only malice being yet in question, and just as opening statements began Murdoch settled, admitting guilt, and paying $787.5 USD millions.
But platforming liars, knowing they lie, is also #defamation.
