CNN Defamation Trial: Jurors Are Urged to ‘Send a Message’ to Mainstream Media
CNN is on trial in Panama City, Fla., for allegedly defaming a security contractor who charged $14,500 to extract Afghan refugees.
Zachary Young is suing the network in Panama City, Fla., alleging that he was falsely portrayed as engaging in an illicit “black market” in the wake of the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan by offering to get refugees out the country for $14,500 apiece. Trump has pledged to “straighten out” the press with additional suits, including one he filed against the Des Moines Register over an errant poll that showed him trailing Kamala Harris in Iowa. Roche invoked the memory of Walter Cronkite, the CBS anchor who he said “actually cared about delivering the facts.” He drew a contrast with the modern journalism culture, which he said was focused on “clicks, scandal and drama.”
