It would become libel if they made false acquisitions.
or accusations?
Ms Mills will acquire many millions when her divorce comes through, irregardless.
& I think she should continue with her decision to take on the media. She is, after all, one of the few people able to go on every talk show when she decides to (and pick up the phone and speak to the Prime Minister while she's at it) about fixing the libel laws.
I'm all for freedom of speech, but I detest lies. The press have been disgusting to her. She may or may not be a golddigger, she might even be deluded, but noone deserves the treatment she has received from the papparazzi and the front pages.
I hope she goes completely nuts and manages to push through new (much needed) laws against libel. I reckon she could do it.
She's completely correct to say that the press killed Diana in my opinion. And she says she just wants to do something about media lies and harassment. Obviously she's on a mission to do something about her own situation too. This story will run and run.
