My understanding is that what you print has to be false, for starters. Then the question is whether you knew it was false, or whether you recklessly disregarded the likelihood that it was false. But if what you print isn't false, it can't be defamatory.

What did he say or print that you claim was defamatory? You said that what he said could lead people to certain conclusions. But that doesn't make it false.

If I say that I saw you coming out of a known house of prostitution at 3:00 in the morning in a short skirt and with your lipstick disarrayed, even if you explain to me that you were an EMT and were called from your date in a disco to the aid call for a john and got your lipstick disarrayed giving mouth-to=mouth recusciation, my statement isn't false, and it isn't defamatory no matter how many times I print it even if people wrongly jump to the conclusion that you're a prostitute. And I'm not obligated to print your version of the facts.
