Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University slaps New York Times with $10M suit for ‘made up’ COVID-19 story
The Washington Examiner ^ | 7/15/2020 | Paul Bedard

Virginia’s conservative Liberty University today filed a $10 million defamation suit against the embattled New York Times for a “made up” and damaging story that falsely charged that students returning from spring break became infected with the coronavirus because the school stayed open.

In a 100-page suit, with exhibits, filed in Virginia’s Lynchburg Circuit Court, the 49-year-old school also charged that New York Times reporter Elizabeth Williamson and photographer Julia Rendleman ignored “No Trespassing” signs to tour the campus at a time when the school was trying to keep outsiders, who could potentially be infected with COVID-19, away.

The long-threatened suit stems from a March 29 viral story that suggested several students were infected after returning from spring break. In fact, no student, staffer, or faculty member on campus was, or became, infected.

Stories like this need to go viral.

People need to see the proof that MEDIA IS LYING TO THEM.

This helps break the spells of panic and fear they have cast on the public with their fake news .
