It could happen. Rolling Stone got nailed on the University of Virginia rape hoax.

Rolling Stone settled.If the trial had occurred where would it have been held? Virginia,presumably.It's all about the jury pool...Manhattan (or San Francisco) vs Norfolk,VA (or Omaha).

Jury says Rolling Stone article defamed UVa administrator

BY LAUREN BERG Nov 4, 2016

Following more than 20 hours of deliberations, a Charlottesville jury on Friday returned a verdict in favor of University of Virginia administrator Nicole Eramo in the $7.5 million defamation trial against Rolling Stone magazine, its publisher and the author of “A Rape on Campus.”

On Friday afternoon, the jury found the defendants liable for damages against Eramo and that some or all of the defendants committed actual malice in one or more instances.
