What is it with slander, some things just can’t be fixed, until lawsuit?
This is a microcosm of the insanity in my brain. I’m sure that some group did some thing that caused some problem, and slander was the key. Oh, fuck … Covington.
This was about how the fucking media ass fucked the shit out of that MAGA hat wearing kid who was standing, mind his own business.
So many defamation lawsuits. So much generalized stupidity.
n. oral defamation, in which someone tells one or more persons an untruth about another which untruth will harm the reputation of the person defamed. Slander is a civil wrong (tort) and can be the basis for a lawsuit. Damages (payoff for worth) for Slander may be limited to actual (special) damages unless there is malicious intent, since such damages are usually difficult to specify and harder to prove. Some statements such as an untrue accusation of having committed a crime, having a loathsome disease, or being unable to perform one’s occupation are treated as Slander per se since the harm and malice are obvious, and therefore usually result in general and even punitive damage recovery by the person harmed. Words spoken over the air on television or radio are treated as libel (written defamation) and not Slander on the theory that broadcasting reaches a large audience as much if not more than printed publications.
