Original Note:
This statement is incorrect. Libel and slander do not apply to opinions, only to factual claims the writer knows to be false or irresponsibly fails to verify. A defamation suit must also show demonstrable damage to lreputation or cause documented harm. This is thus not libel. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/libel-vs-slander-different-types-defamation.html
