Part 1/9:
CNN Found Guilty of Defamation
In a notable legal development, a Florida jury has determined that CNN is liable for defamation against Zachary Young, a Navy veteran and security contractor. The jury's verdict comes two years after Young filed a lawsuit against the network, following a report aired in November 2021 concerning the high costs of evacuating individuals from Afghanistan. During this report, CNN suggested that Young had quoted exorbitant prices to evacuate Afghans who were endangered after the Taliban regained control of the country.
