He didn't show that at all; all he showed was that they didn't want to go through the lawsuit.

As it turns out, they drew the wrong conclusion in their initial reporting. So did most of the people who viewed the video. They should have done better, they should have waited for more of the fact. So should most of the people who viewed the video.

Did they say something that was not true? Yes. Does that make them a liar? Technically, yes. Is jumping to a false conclusion the same as intentionally reporting something you know to be untrue? Not in my book. I have made many mistakes but thankfully I don't have anyone around me to shout, "liar," every time.
