美国上诉法院驳回了唐纳德·特朗普对有线电视新闻网的诽谤诉讼,裁定他的申诉“毫无价值”,维持了2023年下级法院的裁决。 A U.S. appeals court has dismissed Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against CNN, ruling his claims were “meritless” and upholding a 2023 lower court decision. 第十一巡回法庭发现特朗普未能证明CNN使用 " 大谎言 " 一词来描述他虚假的2020年选举诉求是虚假的或诽谤性的,指出该词是主观意见,而不是可证实的事实。 The Eleventh Circuit found Trump failed to prove CNN’s use of the term “Big Lie” to describe his false 2020 election claims was false or defamatory, noting the phrase is subjective opinion, not a provable fact. 法院强调,《第一修正案》保护政治评论,特别是关于公众关注事项的政治评论。 The court emphasized that political commentary, especially on matters of public concern, is protected under the First Amendment. 由特朗普(Trump)任命的两名法官一致做出的裁决结束了此案,并强化了保护媒体批评公众人物的法律先例。 The ruling, unanimous and including two judges appointed by Trump, closes the case and reinforces legal precedent protecting media criticism of public figures.
