Navy veteran Zachary Young warned CNN its reporting about his efforts to evacuate Afghans as the Taliban took control of their country was inaccurate, and threatened to sue if the network moved forward with a news segment about him, Young testified Wednesday. The network ran the story anyway.
Now, Young is suing CNN for $1 billion in damages, claiming he lost employment days after the network aired its false reporting and that he hasn’t been able to find work since. He’s pointed to CNN’s disparaging coverage of Fox News's $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, and jurors during Monday’s selection process appeared open to forcing CNN to cough up a 10-figure payout to Young.

Lt Col Charlie Brown I hope he wins. Maybe it will show these news stations that spreading false information isn't worth what it may cost in the end.

If his story is true, then go 'gooder and harder' after them. CNN has been a scion of terrible reporting for years. Remember Peter Arnett and his report on Operation Tail Wind from the late 1990's?

His employment days are worth a billion dollars? I'm in the wrong business.
