Slander is spoken; libel is written. But this isn't either of those. It's detailed reporting from a respected outlet with damning evidence. And "most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history" is as impressive as "shortest NBA player from Luxembourg"
Speaking on behalf of Lutnick, the White House said: "The BBC's pathetic and desperate attempt to slander Secretary Lutnick will do nothing to change the fact that he has been the most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history."

Pointing out that people aren't pronouncing, writing or using words correctly is treated as "elitist"--even on here--& US journalists are eager to distance themselves from that label. Goes hand in hand with their platforming of absurd, debunked ideas as "viewpoint diversity." Accuracy="elitism."
