During her failed 1996 City Council campaign bid, Davis was the subject of ‘negative news coverage’ in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, including an editorial which criticized her negative campaign tactics.
.... Subsequent to her electoral loss, Davis filed a libel lawsuit against the paper, and parent companies The Walt Disney Co. and ABC Inc., to attempt to obtain an award for damages.
In her suit, Davis claimed that the Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s editorial had damaged her mental health and infringed upon her “right to pursue public office.”
The judge threw it out of court!...Rubbing salt in the wound, the court wrote in its 3-0 decision that they ....“cannot conclude a person of ordinary intelligence would perceive the statements as defamatory.” ( HAHAHAHAHA!)
She tried to take it to the Supreme court who refused to hear it!
