On Election Day, the local newspaper, the Adamsville Gazette, runs a spoof article about Bill, the Mayor of Adamsville, suggesting that the Mafia funded his campaign for re-election. This is ridiculous: everyone in town knows that Bill was re-elected unopposed, and also that there has never been any Mafia presence in Adamsville, which is a small respectable country town in Middle America. Nevertheless, everyone outside of Adamsville takes the news seriously, and causes Bill to lose the possibility of ever running for president. Bill also loses funding from local supporters who do not want to be associated with the Mafia. Under which of the following torts is Mayor Adam most likely to sue?
