Defamation: “Chobani Yogurt Sues Alex Jones”

Source: Chobani Yogurt Sues Alex Jones Over Sexual Assault Report – The New York Times

The beginning will give you a spoonful:

Chobani, the yogurt company, has filed a lawsuit against Alex Jones, the high-profile conspiracy theorist and the host of a popular right-wing radio show, for posting what it called false news reports about the company and its owner.

The suit, filed on Monday in district court in Twin Falls County, Idaho, named Mr. Jones and the media companies InfoWars and Free Speech Systems as defendants. It called “false” and “defamatory” several reports that appeared on InfoWars alleging that the company’s factory in Idaho, which employs refugees, was connected to a 2016 child sexual assault and a rise in tuberculosis cases.

This one’s a goody. Another bravo for Hamdi Ulukaya.
