Nope, an opinion can alao be a choice conclusion based on disclosed facts. Which is why two different people can reach different conclusions based on the same evidence. Some may think one piece of evidence evidence is more important than the other or think that one witness is more credible than …
the other. And another person may disagree. Or because a story has some errors in it, it’s fake news where another person will think those errors are minor. That’s the law, Sparky.
Oh, and the law doesn’t require the speaker to say “I feel” or “I think …” to express an opinion. Nor do we in general conversation. If I say “you’re an idiot” people know I am expressing my opinion don’t require me to say “I think you’re an idiot.” The “I think …” is implicit.
To further show you’re ignorant , there is absolutely no way someone falsely claiming to know facts about defamation is defamation. To be defamation, a false statement has to damage a person’s good reputation. A person falsely claiming they know the legal requirements of defamation harms no one.
