The Spin
Narrative A
Owens, once a respected conservative media figure, has gone off the deep end, with this lawsuit representing a clear case of defamation where Owens knowingly spread false information for profit. The Macrons provided irrefutable evidence disproving these claims, yet Owens doubled down. Her campaign has caused tremendous reputational damage and subjected the French first couple to global humiliation.
Narrative B
This case threatens fundamental First Amendment protections for American journalists investigating public figures. Owens repeatedly requested interviews with Brigitte Macron but was ignored, forcing her to rely on available evidence and sources. Foreign governments shouldn't be able to silence American independent media through intimidation lawsuits.
