so now public figures don't have as many rights as normal citizens?
you see it all the time...ppl accusing other figures or using drugs or being a whore...none are ever brought infront of court...
one exception is if the false statements constitute slander per se
these statements are considered so inherently harmful that general damages are presumed. These kind of statements are claims such as the plaintiff (1) has a loathsome, communicable disease, (2) has committed a crime for which imprisonment is a possibility, (3) is professionally incompetent, or (4) if a woman, has engaged in sexual misconduct.
the allegations that pacquiao may use performing enhancing drugs falls under none of these categories...
why do u think no defamation cases have been brought against jose canseco who revealed hundreds of players in his tell all book...is he not a public figure also?...they have a public figure privilege as wellComment
