Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

One of the greatest measures of protection for media defendants is called the retraction. It is a defense to defamation. If a publication is made that is false, states may allow the publisher to retract the statement without imposition of penalty. This is important especially for inadvertent statements due to human error. Retractions occur frequently in the press for a variety of reasons including the publication of incorrect facts which are not necessarily defamatory. Whether (or not) the media abuses false publications (knowing that a mere retraction is necessary to avoid a successful lawsuit) is a matter of opinion among readers.
