Zachary Young, a U.S. Navy veteran, is suing CNN over a 2021 segment that aired on “The Lead with Jake Tapper.” Young claims the network falsely painted him as an “illegal profiteer” exploiting “desperate Afghans” with “exorbitant” extraction fees amid the fallout of President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Young is the president of Florida-based corporation Nemex Enterprises. His claims sue CNN for defamation per se, defamation by implication, group libel and trade libel, claiming that his efforts to save lives in Afghanistan as a security consultant were distorted by “lies published for sensationalism.”

This was a hit piece and CNN knew it. This Navy Seal was was in the country literally saving people and they said because he wouldn’t and couldn’t take money directly for Afghans he was a bad guy. He couldn’t it was illegal. They needed a sponsor for him to do anything.
He wasn’t in Afghanistan, he was sitting in his house in Austria.
@jjj-z3t4j . So no one went to Afghanistan and risked their lives to rescue people?
He wasn’t in Afghanistan at the time! He was in his home in Austria!
Friedmann is a wannabee tryhard grandstander
Off topic.. the amount of ads is insane
This makes CNN look very shady
ZY is not very likable but it seems pretty clear that CNN went after him and didn’t care that he did actually get people out of the country.
