CNN sued for $1.3 bil over Cafferty remarks

So now the Chinese will sue us into submission. Considering the morality of American trial lawyers, it might work.

CNN sued for $1.3 bil over Cafferty remarks:
"HONG KONG -- A Chinese primary school teacher and a beautician have filed a suit against CNN in New York over remarks they say insulted the Chinese people and are seeking $1.3 billion in compensation -- $1 per person in China, a Hong Kong newspaper reported.

The case against the Atlanta-based cable channel, its parent company Turner Broadcasting and Jack Cafferty, the offending commentator, comes after 14 lawyers launched a similar suit in Beijing alleging that Cafferty's remarks earlier this month violated the dignity and reputation of the Chinese people.

Cafferty said the United States imported Chinese-made 'junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food' and added: 'They're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years'."
