What is the test for determining whether a party can bring a claim against a news station for allegedly making a false statement?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Yuin Univ. v. Korean Broad. Sys., B226977 (Cal. App. 2011):

publication in question must be considered in its entirety; "[i]t may not be divided into segments and each portion treated as a separate unit." [Citation.] It must be read as a whole in order to understand its import and the effect which it was calculated to have on the reader [citations], and construed in the light of the whole scope [of the publication]. [Citation.]' " ' [Citation.]" (Monterey Plaza Hotel v. Hotel Employees & Restaurant Employees (1999) 69 Cal.App.4th 1057, 1064-1065.) Likewise, when the alleged false statement is contained in a television broadcast, the court must examine the statement in context with the remainder of the news report to determine if it has the meaning attributed to it by the plaintiff. (Id. at p. 1065.)
