False

False

False.

The "media privilege" justification ground applies to professionals in the journalism field, such as reporters and editors, who may have some protection against defamation claims when reporting on matters of public concern. However, simply spreading false news does not automatically give someone the media privilege justification ground for possible defamatory statements. Defamation laws vary by jurisdiction, but generally, a statement must meet certain criteria, such as being false and damaging to someone's reputation, to be considered defamatory.
