You are correct, it exists because it is "print."

Many folks miss this key point to win a libel suit: You must show/prove how you were damaged by the statement in question.

If I say libelous statement about somebody and it's proved to be untrue, that's fine, but now how do we award damages? Proving damages is tough - its a grey area, but it's required to win a successful libel suit.

George Felos can talk about reputation, as can Greer and some of their experts. Michael Sciavo can tlk about reputation, and can point to the governor of Florida and most of the GOP reps, while filing a copy of the bill as "Exhibit A". Need I mention that all that legislative mail and the legislative and executive email servers will be available in the discovery process? Thus any of those communications that make reckless and wild allegations will also be thrown into the mix.

"You must show/prove how you were damaged by the statement in question."

Some statements are said to be libelous "per se", and in those cases, damages are presumed, and a jury gets to set them. All cases of saying someone commited a crime, that an unmarried woman is a whore, or that someone has a loathesome disease are in this class.
