Austrian broadcaster ORF sues vice-chancellor Strache over 'lies' post
Austria's public broadcaster, the ORF, has filed a lawsuit against the country's deputy leader after he accused it and one of its news presenters of lying. Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, head of the far-right Freedom Party, made the accusation on Facebook. The row started two weeks ago when Mr Strache posted a picture on Facebook of Mr Wolf with the words: "There is a place where lies become news. That place is ORF.". "Vice Chancellor Strache accused ORF, by doctoring ORF advertising material, of spreading fake news, lies and propaganda in all its media," said ORF Director General Alexander Wrabetz in a statement. ORF said it was also taking legal action against Facebook for not deleting Mr Strache's post.
