NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. Beef Products Inc. sued ABC News, Inc. for defamation Thursday over its coverage of a meat product that critics dub "pink slime," claiming the network damaged the company by misleading consumers into believing it is unhealthy and unsafe.

The Dakota Dunes, S.D.-based meat processor is seeking $1.2 billion in damages for roughly 200 "false and misleading and defamatory" statements about the product officially known as lean, finely textured beef, said Dan Webb, BPI's Chicago-based attorney.

The lawsuit filed in a South Dakota state court also names several individuals as defendants, including ABC news anchor Diane Sawyer and the Department of Agriculture microbiologist who coined the term "pink slime."

The company's reporting "caused consumers to believe that our lean beef is not beef at all -- that it's an unhealthy pink slime, unsafe for public consumption, and that somehow it got hidden in the meat," Webb said before the company's official announcement.



More fake news is costing this joke company even more money.

"On the daily" here means "once every 5 years" judging by the date in that URL.

The case was settled this August, for $177 million

I was wondering how they were getting sued over pink slime when that story aired years ago. Apparently TC is just desperately searching for "ABC News sewed" into Google just so he can shit post here.

Yeah I remembered it was a thing back then. McDonalds also did a superbowl commercial addressing it as well. Still don't really have an opinion on this though.

At least we can say Caution fessed up to the mistake, rather than running away and pretending it never happened and ignoring any mention of it.

That's a respectable reaction, in my book.
