On June 30, a Florida judge threw out George Zimmerman's libel suit against NBC.

No word yet on an appeal. Looks unlikely.

Thanks for the update.

I recall that a prominent conservative and former U.S. Army major general

• sued and won against the AP;
• the AP appealed all the way to the SCOTUS;
• SCOTUS reversed the lower courts saying that
  • AP did not mean to lie about the general
  • they just made errors.

NBC of course lied about Zimmerman and they did it with malice. I hope Zimmerman keeps going.

Richard Jewell was hyped by the media as the Atlanta Olympic bomber (1996). He sued and won.

BTW I remember the case with the general. It was the University of Mississippi riots in the '60s. Maybe AP did make "errors" but it was because they willingly believed the many lies about anyone associated with the John Birch Society. We see exactly same kind of stuff happening today.
