Where True is Fake, and Fake is True: Atlanta Judge Finds CNN’s Inaccuracy Malicious
You can’t make this stuff up (although CNN apparently does!): CNN ran a story claiming that a Florida hospital had infant mortality rates 3x the national average, but last week, an Atlanta judge ruled that CNN had played fast and loose with the numbers, and allowed a defamation lawsuit by the hospital’s former CEO to proceed. From the ruling:
“The Court finds these allegations sufficient to establish that CNN was acting recklessly with regard to the accuracy of its report, i.e., with ‘actual malice,” the order reads. CNN had tried to get the case dismissed.
