In Kansas, the accused editor and publisher run a newspaper that is devoted almost entirely to attacking Kansas City Mayor Carol Marinovich and the local prosecutor, Nick Tomasic.
The articles often were punctuated with rhetorical questions and exclamations. Marinovich or official documents? Powers also says the prosecution is the result of his earlier backing a different candidate for district attorney. In Wisconsin, the prosecution of Carlton Lord was instigated after he wrote a letter to the editor about activities in a local town board election.

All Federal. Most courts only consider something slander if it causes actual, proven damage to the third party. People can be convicted of murder, but no court can declare someone stupid.
Libelous or slanderous statements are specific. They identify an individual or group. For example, malicious statements about the biggest landowner in town can be defamatory without identifying the person by name. Truth is an absolute defense against defamation.
Some information may be protected by privacy laws which restrict the public disclosure of private facts. Like other civil wrongs, defamation has a statute of limitations. The timer starts when the defamatory statements are published or spoken, regardless of when the other person notices. Libel and slander laws are addressed on a state-by-state basis.
Most states define defamation as a civil wrong. Some states including New Hampshire and Mississippi have statutes for criminal defamation. That means being convicted of defamation in these states could mean jail time. Instead of using words to put someone down, how about finding new and refreshing ways to say something nice!
