RECENTLY, a US Appeals Court dismissed an attempt by Donald Trump to revive a defamation lawsuit against CNN.
US President Donald Trump
In the original suit in 2022 Trump objected to the use of the term "the big lie" in relation to his claims that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen and gave victory to Joe Biden.
The Appeals Court upheld a Florida court ruling that Trump had failed to prove "falsity", a key element for defamation.
In an editorial comment, CNN said the Appeals Court ruling affirmed that news outlets tend to prevail when they stand their ground rather than settle out of court with Trump.
Settlements between Trump and major media companies have attracted widespread criticism in the past few months.
The original lawsuit also accused CNN of associating Trump with Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, quoting guests on CNN programs.
The judge in the case ruled that these were opinions and "bad rhetoric is not defamation when it does not include false statements of fact.'
