Dennis Kucinich suing Plain Dealer/Cle dot com over mayoral election coverage
Dennis Kucinich, Cleveland's boy mayor and multi-term congressman, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor once again in 2021, is suing Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer for what he claims was libelous and slanderous coverage of his campaign. in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, Kucinich's lawyers contend that in both printed stories and on its daily news podcast, Today in Ohio, , The PD/cleveland.
The suit argues that the PD/cleveland.com, which made no secret of their distaste for Kucinich's candidacy, recklessly and maliciously printed lies that associated him with FirstEnergy to tarnish his reputation and undercut his past achievements, damaging personal and professional relationships in the process.
"For several hours Friday, the original version of this story incorrectly stated Dennis Kucinich is exploring a run for mayor with the financial backing of FirstEnergy Corp.,"Kucinich actually received money from local restaurateur Tony George, a longtime personal friend. George worked as a paid agent of FirstEnergy in Cleveland, for his company TPI Efficiency, and the PD/Cleveland.com drew a connection that Kucinich says never existed .
Though Kucinich's explanation was printed in the paper and corrections were issued on the stories that linked him to FirstEnergy directly, Kucinich's suit references editorials and opinion pieces as well.'[w]hatever you do, don’t vote for Dennis Kucinich.' They baselessly claimed that Plaintiff was 'remarkabl[y] ignorant of municipal finance' and [that he] engaged in 'constant violence-mongering.
