red sox 777 05/26/20 6:47:02 PM #498:	Mr Lasastryke posted... how is that an opinion Because the way she talked about it, it should have been apparent to a reasonable viewer that the conclusion was an inference drawn from some other facts, which she had expressed, and there were not additional unstated facts from which she based her conclusion. Compare the following statements. OANN employs a journalist who also works for Russia Today. They must also be funded by Russia. I have direct evidence that OANN is funded by Russia. 1 is an opinion and not actionable through a defamation case (assuming the fact about employing a journalist who also works for RT is true). 2 is a statement of fact, and if false, can lead to liability for defamation. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:939749281] in Politics C...

I don't think a separate category for assumptions exists in defamation law. It's either a fact, or an opinion. Within facts, you can have true facts and false facts, and it's only false facts that are actionable. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:939749568] in Politics C...
