I guess everyone kind of has a different answer to that, general acceptance within a peer-reviewed community would probably be a good metric. In the defamation context, however, a defamatory statement is one made with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not. New York Times v.

i mean didn't they block investigations so they couldn't find any?
OANN probably won't, given Chanel Rion's documentary that President Trump promoted.
Maybe, but at the end of the day they're a corporation that makes judgments based on risk. Time will tell.
