CNN Takes the L
A Florida jury found CNN liable for defamation against Navy veteran Zachary Young, awarding him $5 million in damages. Young sued CNN over a report that identified him as a black market operator in Afghanistan, which he claimed ruined his reputation and career. CNN argued that parts of the report were opinion and that they had little information about Young's business. The trial is ongoing to determine punitive damages.
