CNN Faces Defamation Trial over Controversial Report on Afghan Contractors

Credited from: NEWSWEEK

  • CNN is scheduled for trial on January 13, accused of defaming a military contractor linked to its reporting on Afghan evacuations.
  • Defamation cases against news networks are rising, following high-profile settlements by Fox News and ABC News involving false claims.
  • The case stems from a November 2021 CNN segment concerning contractors who evacuated Afghans after the U.S. withdrawal.
  • CNN executives and reporters will testify in court, as internal communications could potentially harm the network's defense.
  • The plaintiff must prove that CNN acted with malice to succeed in the defamation claim.
