It would obviously be based on how it's phrased and who the person is. If it's a ditzy reality show "star" or some other celebrity not known for being bright then it would be hard to show damages. Someone known to be knowledgeable and well versed saying the exact same thing could make showing damages much easier.

I think he'd be much better off by going the Sandmann route and going after actual news sources since they're "supposed to be" taken seriously and damage to reputation is almost automatic.

So we agree, thank you.

exactly, you force them into a position where they have to PROVE, on record, that they are retarded and legacy media is dead. This is why cnn settled.

Eating dinner a little bit late tonight but Culvers is usually busy right around normal dinner time, this time of the night it is mostly people getting the mixers.

Sandmann wasn't a public figure and didn't have to prove actual malice, that's why the media settled with him. Rittenhouse is, so he does have to prove it, and winning a libel case is going to be a huge uphill battle.

the fuck, they were only public figures because the media turned them into public figures - how fucking convenient

(I don't think he'll win a libel case I think they'll settle with him so they don't have to talk about what they did in court)

Assclown is correct. Kyle is going to count as a public figure and thus have a much higher standard.

Go for the misconduct of the prosecution, win and use that as ammunition in a civil lawsuit against the state.

Would it even matter? Its still a statement of opinion. If I were on trial, news agencies would have to call me an alleged pedophile but that standard wouldn't carry over to random celeb A on twitter who reasonable people don't view as a news source.

You're not understanding the difference between the statement of fact element and actual damages.

Just because it's a random person doesnt make what they said an opinion, it just makes it harder to prove what they said actually damaged you.
