I'm the headline, "Entire HR Team Fired."
In the story: about half the HR team was fired over several weeks.
A printed lie is libel, right?
A printed lie is just a lie. Libel and slander have to do with statements of fact meant to hurt the image earning potential of a person or entity that are not true. There is an intent component and actual or possible damage. Just lying doesn't really rise to libel. This would likely fail as it's not that far off and the company itself isn't mentioned.
It's just carelessness. But yes, slander is spoken, and libel is written.
I appreciate the clarification and the time you took to write your comment.
Thank you.
You 2 are too polite to be real people. I'm tagging both as bots, just in case 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
To be fair, some days I feel like one.
