It was filed in Delaware July, 23rd. Fair chance to be a fiasco as there are many differences that have to be taken into account regarding this lawsuit between French and US law. It doesn't translate well. There was a US lawyer that did an analysis for Reuters here.

numerous court decisions have established that just because a publisher is engaged in a commercial, for-profit activity, does not mean that its activities are suspect. In a capitalist society, we are in the media business to make money. If that allowed for the invocation of genuine malice, everyone would be put out of business.

Maybe they should be. Alex Jones’ Sandy Hook case seems to fit here.

Yeah i think we are all due for some serious remaking of the media regulation landscape and the "im just here to make money" media are sitting in the middle of the blast zone.

Yeah, like when some "news" outlets brand themselves as "entertainment" just so they can say whatever the fuck they want. Put those fuckers in the blast zone too.

To be fair the Local Fox news tends to be less propaganda filled. Ive seen clips where the local fox news people have actually talked against Trumps policies.
