They're giving Couric every opportunity to back down, the defamation lawsuit and discovery that will now follow is going to soak her and that producer/editor with legal fees.

It sounds more like a `false light’ claim.

http://injury.findlaw.com/torts-and-personal-injuries/defamation-vs—false-light—what-is-the-difference-.html

The Elements of False Light

“In a false light claim, the plaintiff must prove the following elements:

The defendant published some information about the plaintiff.
The information must portray the plaintiff in a false or misleading light.
The information is highly offensive or embarrassing to a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities.
The defendant must have published the information with reckless disregard as to its offensiveness.

“A false light claim is usually easier to bring than a defamation claim. Take, for example, a newspaper article about the issue of child molestation in certain churches. If the editor includes a photograph of an innocent priest who has not been accused of or otherwise associated with child molestation, the newspaper may be liable for false light - the inclusion of the photograph implies that the priest is involved in child molestation - but not for defamation, as there was no false statement made. In a defamation action, the newspaper-defendant would simply assert that no statement was actually made about the photographed priest and child molestation.”

The pathology of the left is not that different from serial killers. They never apologize either.

“Katie Couric was one of the extreme regulars on the jets flying out to Epstein’s rape Island.”

First I’ve heard of that. It begs the question — Why?

Yes; but at least Goebbels had the decency to kill himself, his kids. and his wife.
Wish these people would show the same sense of decency, for themselves and all their like minded friends.

Decent to kill his kids?!?!?!? If you watched the movie "Downfall" (The one of the YouTube parodies), that scene was one of the most horrible things I've ever watched.

I know a lady who was seven years old, and played with the Goebbels’ children in the bunker. She remembers those final days well.

Liberals don't apologize or deal in facts.

It is just part of their disease.
