I have always found our putting up with Corporate PR lies so crazy. This wasn’t a stretch of the truth, or a belief what they were saying was true and missed a single internal email. Taylor’s statement was knowingly completely untrue.

Say what you want about the China social credit system but if there was a way the associated press could blackball Taylor/the spokesperson for Taylor from ever publishing another statement I think the world would be a better place.

No reason to go so far. Just prepend "documented liar" to every instance of "Taylor spokesperson".

I think OP is being specific. The civil complaint is not particularly interesting, I agree, but the overall saga is.
