This was a fun opinion to read. TFG failed to properly alleged malice and so the case was dismissed. The standard for malice for a lawsuit against a public figure is actual knowledge or reckless disregard as to the truth of the statement. TFG claimed that statements were false because he does believe these statements and that the Washington Post must hate him because they disagree with him. TFG did not come close to proving malice.
