Libel Lawsuits Filed Against US Media

[Viktor]

Unfettered Press: Libel Law in the United States

"Every year hundreds of libel lawsuits are filed against newspapers, magazines, and radio and television stations in the United States. Typically, these cases are brought by current or former public officials, by entertainers, or by business executives who feel they have been damaged by critical media publicity -- usually accusing or suggesting that the person has engaged in unlawful, improper, or questionable activities."

The American public is justified in not trusting the media.

Unlike England, where (I hear) the media had better be VERY careful before publishing questionable material, it is almost impossible to win a defamation suit in this country.

I believe that our beautiful First Lady won in England after a news source printed a certain comment about her alleged past activities in Europe.
