1. Bobby Bigmouth is sued for slander by his boss.Bobby argues that he cannot be sued for slander because he did not publish any statement.He argues that his alleged slanderous comment was not published because he just made the comment to a co-worker about his boss rather than making that statement to a reporter to be published.Is Bobby's argument correct?
