This is a 16 page poorly done petition. Most defamation petitions done by real lawyers are much longer and have facts recited.

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson on Tuesday unveiled a defamation lawsuit against CNN over its reports that he once boasted about being a "Black Nazi" in posts made on a pornographic web forum.

But independent journalist Bryan Anderson, a former North Carolina Statehouse reporter for the Associated Press, posted a link to Robinson's entire 16-page lawsuit and found that it contains "no exhibits substantiating Robinson’s denials" made by CNN in its report.

In fact, an examination of the entire lawsuit shows that Anderson's description is accurate.

It contains no evidence that CNN was incorrect about Robinson's history of making racist, sexist, homophobic, and overall offensive posts on the website NudeAfrica last decade.

This petition was evidently filed to try to draw attention away from Robinson
