   This article contains the seemingly-limiting claim, "Cuomo produces his
   show in New York so Georgia laws do not apply to him."
   Actually, that's not necessarily true.  The famous libel case, New York
   Times v. Sullivan,
   [2]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times_Co._v._Sullivan
   involved a libel lawsuit within Alabama, against the New York Times
   newspaper, a few copies of which were distributed within the local
   area.  That was sufficient nexus to allow that suit.  (see "Personal
   Jurisdiction,    [3]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_jurisdiction
            The problem, of course, that at trial, the New York Times
   would likely have been facing a jury of not-particularly-sympathetic
   locals, who could award huge damages against them.  The Supreme Court
   'split the baby' by creating a new standard for libel against 'public
   figures', requiring that there be 'malice' ("absense of malice") if the
   defendant was a 'public figure'.   Curiously, their apparent definition
   of 'malice' did not comport with any then-current legal definition.
   The SC was simply pulling a legal rabbit out of a hat.
   In the current CNN and Cuomo case, their show is obviously broadcast
   (by cable) within Georgia, so there is no reason to believe that could
   not be haled into court on a charge of extortion in Georgia.
