Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A senator while speaking on the floor of the Senate has an absolute privilege against defamation for their speech, which means they cannot be sued for defamation based on anything they say in the course of their official duties. Newspapers, however, have a qualified privilege, which means they can be sued for defamation if they publish false and defamatory statements about someone, but only if the plaintiff can prove that the newspaper acted with actual malice.
