Truth is an absolute defense.
Also...I haven’t been able to access the actual story online. BUT...over the years I have read a few Enquirer stories, and they are always “true”.
Why ?
Well, because they word them artfully. They say things like, “it is reported or rumored that”. OR “someone says that”...and that is undoubtedly true.
Some people ARE saying this about Cruz. They are only reporting that people are saying this....not that the “this” is true.
That’s how they get away with doing what they do.
FWIW, I believe the underlying story is true. But my reading experience of the NE is that they don’t directly report on the underlying story, but just that stuff is being said.....
Truth is an absolute defense.
I agree with this 100%.
Maybe I’m different. I just wouldn’t allow anyone to dirty my name or my spouse’s name. I’d have to fight.
