The pink slime media being sued over the reports of pink slime beef? according to TV Newser, The Dakota Dunes meat processor is seeking $1.2 billion in damages for roughly 200 “false and misleading and defamatory” statements about the product officially known as lean, finely textured beef, but has been referred to as “pink slime.” Only 200? i’m kind of surprised it’s that low. ABC hack Diane Sawyer has also been named in the suit.
ABC’s reporting “caused consumers to believe that our lean beef is not beef at all — that it’s an unhealthy pink slime, unsafe for public consumption, and that somehow it got hidden in the meat,” said Dan Webb, an attorney for BPI.
