re: #455 Rancher

My point was that she won’t be a sitting Governor, and then the bar is lowered although they might have some coverage by saying that their allegations pertained to her while she was Governor. In any case she doesn’t have to win, they have to decide if the slander is worth the time and expense they will have to expend to defend it.

Mt understanding is that some blogs were reporting it as fact.

To be found guilty of libel, they have to not only publish it as fact; they have to do so while knowing it is false, with malicious intent. This is a very high bar to clear.
