CNN posts photos of conspiracy theorists' victim and her husband. Why? Why? Why?

Exclusive: She's been falsely accused of starting the coronavirus. Her life has been turned upside down

1. It's no surprise to me that the Right-Wing/Fascist MSM supports this Right-Wing/Fascist

administration.

[Towlie]

5. Wait, what? CNN? "Right-Wing/Fascist"?

[Polybius]

10. CNN is right-wing/fascist?

Lmao, someone let Trump in on it!

[Wounded Bear]

2. They should DOXX the fucking accusers...

3. It's obvious they consented

The photos were taken at their home by a CNN employee while they were being interviewed for the story, as evidenced by the photo credit.

Also, the story, which I read, mentions their faces have already been widely disseminated in China and elsewhere.

4. I just watched a video clip of this, I was wondering the same.

6. China has embraced this

11. People/countries/media pick up on claims that support their narratives.

Even the Clinton Pizzagate story was started by some crank Yank in, I think it was, NYC. Then it was picked up by overseas sources and reinjected by them into the US media stream.

The CP PRC loves them some US dissent and sniping every bit as much as the Putin. The enemy of my enemy may not be my friend, but let them fight it out while I

7. There are laws about defamation.

Other than that they exist, I know nothing about them, but it seems odd that those laws wouldn't cover this. Poor woman; it's unreal.

13. The press is pretty much immune to defamamtion lawsuits.

[crickets]

14. It is difficult to sue the press for defamation, true.

I do know that Carol Burnett won her lawsuit against the National Enquirer, so it can be done. George Webb is not the press, though, no matter how loudly he may claim to be. It's a sad situation for the Benassis.

8. In the clip they said that

they would litigate this but they can't afford it. So I guess s go fund me thing should be set up for them. This is bullshit and such individuals who create and distribute this shit should be tried for it. It could cut back on the incidence rate if these assholes actually suffered consequences for their actions.

9. Obviously they want to get the story out.

For one thing an organization might come to their defense to help take down the Conspiracy theorist like the Sandy Hook parents did. It also shames YouTube for failing to take down the videos fast enough and reinforced the danger they feel they are in from fanatical freaks.
