On Friday night, a judge dismissed Donald Trump's lawsuit against CNN in which Trump claimed CNN’s coverage of his election lies equated him to Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.
Judge Raag Singhal, a Trump-appointed judge, ruled that CNN referring to Trump’s claims about the election being stolen as “The Big Lie” did not meet the criteria for defamation despite Trump’s belief to the contrary."There is no question that the statements made by CNN meet the publication requirement for defamation under Florida law," Singhal wrote."The next question is whether the statements were false statements of fact. This is where Trump’s defamation claims fail.
He also argued that CNN using “the Big Lie” is defamatory because it “has incited readers and viewers to hate, contempt, distrust, ridicule, and even fear” Trump, which caused “injury to the Plaintiff, the Plaintiff’s reputation, and the Plaintiff’s political career.” Because of this, “Trump claims that viewers and readers ‘understood that Plaintiff would be Hitler-like in any future political role.
However, Singhal determined the critiques of Trump were"opinion, not actually false statements." Despite harsh criticisms of news outlets and readers, Singhal wrote that CNN or any other organization operating with a"political motivation does not establish falsity."
