The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) is facing a defamation lawsuit over a 2023 article that accused cryptocurrency firms Tether and Bitfinex of misconduct, specifically omitting any mention of Christopher Harborne and his business. This lawsuit comes after the WSJ had to retract two crypto-related articles in less than six months due to allegations of ignoring documents that disproved their story. Critics, including those who accuse the WSJ of pathologically lying about crypto, have accused the publication of having an anti-bitcoin and tether editorial slant, leading to what some allege as libel.
Remember how closely the NYT covered Coinbase during the bear? Patiently awaiting their updated coverage. https://t.co/wD1v4R9QPO
the WSJ became so deranged with their anti-bitcoin and tether truther editorial slant that they (allegedly) committed libel. FAFO https://t.co/nCuYu9vHBe
WSJ just pathologically lies about crypto. Something deeply broken in that institution. I wish Mr Harborne the best in his lawsuit https://t.co/AcbFi4pmNS
