MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Crowe v. County Of San Diego, No. 05-55467, No. 05-55542, No. 05-56311, No. 05-56364, No. CV-99-00241-JSR (9th Cir. 2010):

First, we look at the statement in its broad context, which includes the general tenor of the entire work, the subject of the statements, the setting, and the for-mat of the work. Next we turn to the specific context and content of the statements, analyzing the extent of figurative or hyperbolic language used and the rea-sonable expectations of the audience in that particu-lar situation. Finally, we inquire whether the statement itself is sufficiently factual to be suscepti-ble of being proved true or false.
