It is both interesting and complexing that a foreign national leader could sue a media publication in court. Did he sue in England? Under what set of laws? I'm warmed by the fact that the payout was published and not sealed under any non-disclosure. My hopes is that Sandeman's lawyers do not accept non-disclosure as part of their settlements. Openly knowing the legal ramifications of this bad behavior is part and parcel of stopping it in the future. When these media giants get to pay out large sums in the open, other media outlets get the message that their lies of the narrative could sink their ability to spread their dung across society. In some cases the fines should and could be enough to sink the perpetuators of fake news.

Sue, sue, sue
