ABC News sued for â¹37k cr on calling firm's beef pink slime
Meat processor Beef Products Inc has claimed that it was defamed by media firm ABC News, which characterised its beef product as "pink slime". The firm, which sued ABC for $5.7 billion (â¹37,000 crore), argued that it ruined its reputation in 2012, almost putting it out of business. Notably, while reporting, ABC's journalist used the term "pink slime" 137 times.
