WHEN THE MEDIA SLANDERS...

SLANDER:
Now with all of that being said... or written, did you know that while exercising your right to freedom of speech or freedom of expression or whatever you were doing, you still hold a responsibility to not infringe on the rights of others, including the right of privacy and pursuit of happiness or unjustly harming another's reputation such that one cannot freely function in society, like being publicly humiliated or losing my job and preventing me from providing for my family. When false statements causing injury are spoken rather than written, it is slander. Slander is a form of defamation. If I wish to sue you for defamation, that is my right under the Slander Laws.

And I quote,
"You may bring an action for libel or slander due to the fact that the comments were so reprehensible and false and they affected your reputation in the community. Since the defamation improperly accused you of a crime and reflected poorly on your profession you may seek both actual damages to recover from the economic harm that you have suffered, and punitive damages against the person who made the remarks."

I may not be a reporter but it looks like I am a pretty good investigator.
