The lawsuit, which took aim at NPR and CNN for reporting on Ed Henry's firing from Fox News over sexual misconduct allegations, was voluntarily dismissed “with prejudice.”
“NPR gives me the support & freedom to report independently, even when it's uncomfortable,”on Wednesday afternoon. “My thanks to NPR’s leaders, corporate board & attys, for unwavering backing in this case and in an earlier case involving another former Fox figure who sued me - equally unsuccessfully.” Additionally, he noted that NPR has “not stepped away from a syllable” of its report and “the story stands.
In a separate comment to The Daily Beast, Folkenflik stated that in the “current climate, many lawsuits against journalists and news organizations are driven more by public relations strategy than a strong legal basis.” He also expressed appreciation for his outlet sticking by him and his reporting. “In this case, NPR and I felt confident that we would prevail in court on the merits. Just as important, we stuck to our guns because our reporting was sound and relevant,” the NPR reporter added. “I admire NPR’s unflagging commitment to providing its audiences with such coverage - and appreciative of the hard work people do behind the scenes to protect the space to do it.”
