CNN Suffers Brutal Legal Defeat In High-Profile Defamation Case

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has ruled in favor of Project Veritas in a high-profile defamation case. The appeals court decision represents a major victory for Project Veritas and its founder, James O’Keefe, who has repeatedly argued that CNN misrepresented the organization’s actions in its news coverage.

The lawsuit dates back to early 2021, when Twitter suspended Project Veritas’s account, claiming the organization violated its rules on privacy by allegedly doxxing individuals. Following the suspension, CNN reported on the ban, and CNN anchors Ana Cabrera and Brian Stelter claimed that Project Veritas was banned for “promoting misinformation.” Project Veritas, known for its undercover investigations into major media companies and left-leaning organizations, immediately pushed back, asserting that CNN’s statements mischaracterized the nature of its suspension.

In response, Project Veritas filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN, arguing that the cable network had knowingly made false statements to damage its credibility. The organization’s complaint hinged on proving that CNN acted with “actual malice”—the legal standard for defamation cases involving public figures—by knowingly or recklessly disregarding the truth. This threshold is high, as plaintiffs must demonstrate that defendants knew their statements were false or acted with a reckless disregard for the truth.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

What is raw about this is that O'Keefe fought this, even after Veritas fired him (over this suit), and Veritas is still suing O'Keefe.
I'm sure they will take all the glory they can.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Makes sense.  When he wins his suit with PV, those gains will come to him as part of the equity priced of the organization.

From what I can find, he never actually sued. He should have.

He is facing suits (which also name everyone else they can think of including police) from the families of the two deceased attackers, and the guy who was pulling a gun on him when he blew his arm muscles to bits.
