That could be expensive. International firms can suffer a lot of damage through rumour. It could make Hogan’s payout look like petty cash.

What efforts did you make to verify the truthfulness of the claims before you published them? Who did you contact? What did you ask them? What did they say? Produce all copies of documents and emails verifying this.

FakeNews getting sued...Maybe what they didn't even qualify as fake news. That was about news that never happened and will not happen. It existed only in the drugged out mind of the so called reporter/journalist/mediots.

So, it doesn't even qualify as fake news! .

I have a new tagline when I reply to a post about news that never happened nor will happen. It doesn't even qualify as fake news!
