Public figure/Matter of public concern = actual malice + real damages. I doubt he could prove that, PFT, but you're right that he wouldn't need to prove anything just to file a lawsuit. “We didn’t post the rumor because that’s precisely the kind of rumor that can get someone sued.”

Pure class. That's a classic mistake. By denying the rumours, Merriman has just legitimised the reporting of them by journalists with an actual readership. Still, I'm sure he hasn't failed a drug test. They're too easy to beat. “I don’t trust anyone that looks like Sinbad.”
