Trump-booster Benny Johnson hit with defamation suit for calling ICE protesters terrorists

MAGA personality ‘did not care’ that he made ‘defamatory’ comments during a ride-along with Greg Bovino, lawsuit says

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story as a defamation suit against conservative commentator Benny Johnson over remarks about ICE protesters. NPR emphasizes the lawsuit’s claim that Johnson falsely said the protesters were assaulting ICE officers during demonstrations at an ICE facility in Illinois, while The Independent alone foregrounds an allegation that he “did not care” that the comments were defamatory during a ride-along with Greg Bovino.
