Nope, the suit has merit on its face that CNN published about Nunes’ “travels” that are false and defamatory being they showed a reckless disregard for the truth.
As far as I know, CNN never took down the story or retracted it even though Nunes denied their claim of his travels in its entirety.
Nunes claims they did it intentionally for political reasons.
If the case makes it to discovery, just like the Sandmann case, CNN is in very BIG trouble.
Let’s hope this happens. If enough people sue and win the cases, maybe they will either go bankrupt or out of business. it’s a nice pipe dream but you never know.
