Don't necessarily like to come to the defense of MSM newspapers, but if what the newspapers reported about Davis' background is the truth, then none of the injuries that Davis claims matters in determining the case. The truth is an affirmative defense in a defamation (libel or slander) case. If Davis can't under any circumstances show that the newspaper was not telling the truth, the case has to be dismissed. That holds for all defamation plaintiffs, whether public figures or just faces in the crowd.

Either way, she drove herself right into a corner with that lawsuit. If her allegations are even partially true, then she's not fit to be Governor of Texas. If they're not true, then she's a congenital liar who's even less qualified to be Governor.
