Defamation and the press

[needinghelp2011]

Do I have grounds for a suit if the press has taken one side of a story and printed only that and damaged my name with people I do business with. Printing half truths and out right lies without checking their facts.

As a public employee is the press allowed to do this to me?

What the press did is simply your opinion.
Besides, you'd have to prove up your allegations.

You might want to speak to an attorney.

Your comments could be deemed defamatory.
