Q
Can Mayor Quimby sue Kent Brockman if (1) Quimby’s wife complained to Brockman over drinks that Quimby is always chasing after younger women and (2) Brockman said on live TV that Quimby is always chasing underage girls?
A
Yes - there is actual malice involved b/c Brockman acted with reckless disregard as to the truth or falsity of the statement b/c all he heard was that Quimby chased younger women, not that he chased underaged girls and published this statement on live TV
