UK paper pays damages to Melania Trump over false report



LONDON (AP) — Britain's Telegraph newspaper has apologized and paid damages to U.S. First Lady Melania Trump after publishing an article it says contains many false statements.
The Telegraph said it falsely characterized Mrs. Trump's father's personality, falsely reported the reasons she left an architecture program, and falsely reported her career as a model was unsuccessful before she met Donald Trump.

"We accept that Mrs. Trump was a successful professional model in her own right before she met her husband and obtained her own modelling work without his assistance," the newspaper said, also acknowledging it had incorrectly reported the year when the couple first met.
"The claim that Mrs. Trump cried on election night is also false," The Telegraph said.

It also retracted the statement that Mrs. Trump's father, mother and sister had relocated to New York in 2005 to live in buildings owned by Trump.

I have long advocated that people who issue threats on the internet should be held legally liable. It's good to see people held responsible for deliberate lies - if that is indeed what they were.

They already CONCEDED that they were LIES...hence the settlement.

Sure - but Britain has different laws than we do. I wouldn't support making a media outlet legally punishable for simply being wrong, for example. That's where it gets difficult - you have to establish that they had evidence they were incorrect, and chose to run with that information anyway.

You know the Telegraph is a very well known right-wing publication right?

:shrug: I have no idea what the specifics of the UK's liberl laws are - as a matter of speech, however, I would point out that individuals and institutions have the right to be simply wrong. Demonstrating that they knowingly lied is the trick.
