John Stossel sues Facebook for allegedly defaming him with fact-check
Seems good for society that Stossel will be taking this to court.<p>Relevant quotes from article:
&quot;According to Stossel’s complaint (read here), he published on Facebook a video titled “Government Fueled Fires,” where he took on “sensational media reporting about a so-called ‘climate apocalypse,’ and explored a scientific hypothesis … that while climate change undoubtedly contributes to forest fires, it was not the primary cause of the 2020 California fires.”&quot;<p>&quot;[On facebook] Further information told readers: “Claim — ‘forest fires are caused by poor management. Not by climate change.’ Verdict: misleading.”&quot;<p>If Stossel never said &quot;Not by climate change&quot;, and then Facebook falsely attributed that statement to him and rated it false, they certainly seem guilty of defamation.
