Pennsylvania natural gas producer CNX Resources Corporation has sued Capital & Main for defamation over the news organization’s reporting on the health risks of the company’s operations.
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court Western District of Pennsylvania, CNX accuses Capital & Main of publishing false and defamatory statements in a September 24, 2024 story with the headline “Pennsylvania Gas Driller: Our Operations Pose No Health Risk. You Can’t Be Serious, Activists Say.” The lawsuit seeks an award of damages, attorneys’ fees and costs and other, unspecified relief from the court.
