After I decisively won my defamation lawsuit and secured a judgment against five defendants, The New York Times ran the following headline. “Australian Media Company to Pay Peter Schiff to End Defamation Suit.” The court awarded me damages exceeding the statutory cap and ordered the defendants to pay indemnity costs, a rare award reserved for particularly egregious conduct. The headline makes it sound as though the company paid me to settle. In fact, the defendants lost, and the court ordered them to pay me. The headline doesn’t even name the Australian media company or mention the journalists who also lost and were ordered to pay damages. I believe Matthew Goldstein and The New York Times deliberately framed the story to cover for his Australian partner Nick McKenzie. In my view, the headline and article were designed to deny me the public vindication I won in court. Because of that misleading article, Wikipedia refuses to acknowledge that I won my lawsuit, even though the Federal Court of Australia published the judgment on its official website. Wikipedia is treating the Times as a more reliable source on the outcome than the court that issued the judgment. The Times uses its undeserved reputation to disseminate fake news. Nothing you read in The New York Times can be believed. @MattGoldstein26 @nytimes @Ageinvestigates
