She may be a crappy journalist.

But the McCrones are going to have to prove that the stuff that she put out was with actual malice to destroy them.

It's not stuff that she reasonably believed to be true and not just a good faith mistake.

We all talk about, there's not a legal definition of a journalist because for Christ's sakes, it's involving everybody on social media.

If you go on your TikTok right now, everybody is giving a story.

Everybody is talking about things.

Everybody is saying things.

So there's not a legal definition of a journalist.

So don't forget, we talked two weeks ago about a YouTuber was sued by Nicki Minaj, who was offering herself as a journalist.

And Nicki Minaj won.

So even though I'm saying people are just on social media, public figures can still file lawsuits against YouTubers.

Because remember, defamation isn't limited to just being a journalist.

Now, what we talk about is the reason that journalists are the ones who are usually sued is they have the larger platforms.

They get out to more individuals and they usually have more money backing them.

And so when we're filing lawsuits, I'm not going to file a lawsuit against John Jackson living in Minot, North Dakota, who lives in his mom's basement, who said something nasty about Donald Trump.

Trump's not filing a lawsuit on defamation to get him to get a dollar thirty five.

Now.

If John Jackson works for the Wall Street Journal and wrote a defamatory article about Donald Trump, then he's like, oh, there's money there.

That's what I'm going to file the lawsuit against.

So don't think the journalist title is what causes the bar for being sued.
