Legal Expert: 'Little Chance' Asiana Lawsuit Will Be Successful

Asiana Airlines confirmed on Monday that it plans to sue an Oakland, Calif. television station that reported fake names for the four pilots on a plane that crashed in San Francisco earlier this month.

Airline officials told The Associated Press that the station damaged the airline's reputation when it reported four offensive names, including "Captain Sum Ting Wong" and "Wi Tu Lo," which were also displayed on an accompanying graphic during a Friday broadcast. The station says it confirmed the names with the National Transportation Safety Board, but later realized they were false. Both the TV station and the NTSB later apologized for the mix-up.

"We pride ourselves on getting it right and having the highest of standards and integrity," KTVU's apology says. "Clearly, on Friday, that didn't happen. So again, from everyone here at KTVU, we offer our sincerest apology."

In the apology, KTVU also says the names were not read out loud before the broadcast aired, and that when they confirmed the names with someone at NTSB, they failed to ask for that person's position.

 the NTSB later revealed that the person who spoke with KTVU was a summer intern who "acted outside the scope of his authority" when he confirmed the names.

"The NTSB does not release or confirm the names of crew members or people involved in transportation accidents to the media," the NTSB statement says. "We work hard to ensure that only appropriate factual information regarding an investigation is released and deeply regret today's incident."

The pilots have already come under scrutiny as part of the NTSB investigation looking into whether there was any pilot error leading up to the crash. Just seconds before the Boeing 777 slammed into a runway at San Francisco International Airport, crew members realized the plane was traveling far below its target landing speed and tried to abort the landing, according data recovered from the plane.

The airline had already released the names of two of the pilots, Lee Kang-kook and Lee Jung-min, the day after the crash.

An Asiana spokeswoman, Lee Hyomin, told the AP Monday that the report damaged the airline's reputation. The airline has not yet determined whether it will file a similar suit against the NTSB, Hyomin told the AP.

"The reputation of the four pilots and of the company had been seriously damaged by this report," the airline said in a released statement.

But Raleigh Levine, a professor at William Mitchell College of Law who specializes in media law, says there is "little chance" that such a lawsuit would be successful.

The airline, Levine says, would have to prove three points: that there was false information, that there was damage to someone's reputation and that the station acted with "actual malice," which means the offending party had knowledge of the false information and acted with reckless disregard.

But proving reckless disregard is a difficult point to prove, Levine says, because the station did attempt to confirm the names. And establishing that reputational damage occurred might be an even bigger hurdle.

Plaintiffs walk a fine line when pursuing defamation cases, Levine says, because they keep the matter in

Jenny McCarthy to Join 'The View'

Jenny McCarthy will join the ladies of "The View," ABC announced Monday, taking one of the two hosting spots vacated by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar next season.

"Jenny brings us intelligence as well as warmth and humor," host Barbara Walters said in a statement. "She can be serious and outrageous. She has connected with our audience and offers a fresh point of view."

In the days after Hasselbeck's sudden and surprise move to "Fox & Friends," which came in addition to Behar's planned departure next month, McCarthy's name rose to the top of the list of possible replacements. She has appeared on the show 17 times, eight of them as a guest host.

Once a Playboy model, McCarthy made a name for herself hosting the hit MTV show "Singled Out" two decades ago. Most recently she had her own VH1 late night show "The Jenny McCarthy Show," which had a disappointing first season that left its fate in question. With the ABC announcement it appears McCarthy has been freed from her VH1 contract.

McCarthy's predecessor Hasselbeck, who first became famous appearing on the second season of "Survivor," was known for ruffling the other hosts' feathers with her conservative political views. But McCarthy herself is no stranger to controversy, as her views that vaccines cause autism have been met with much criticism. She will make her debut as full time "The View" host on Sept. 9, the premiere of its 17th Season

The Great Twinkie Drought Comes to an End

Hostess's Twinkies are returning to retailer shelves across the country Monday, in what the company says is "the sweetest comeback in the history of ever."

The cream-filled snack cakes – along with other Hostess products such as Ding Dongs, CupCakes and Ho Hos – disappeared from stores when the company filed for bankruptcy in January 2012 and then suddenly shut down in November of 2012 amid employee strikes and financial troubles. But two private companies, Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo Global Management, purchased the brands for $410 million and announced the snacks' return in March.

The company touted its return to stores as it tracked its "snack truck" route through New York City on Twitter Monday morning, with a stop at NBC's "Today" show.

Discussion of the famed snacks increased in recent days, as many consumers also took to Twitter – some expressing their excitement, and others questioning whether anyone noticed that Twinkies disappeared in the first place.

"Thank goodness, we can still get a deep fried Twinkie at the Iowa State Fair!" tweeted Sen. John McCain.

"I think I would care more about Twinkies being back in stores if it hadn't already been 20+ years since the last time I had one," says a tweet from California radio host Casey Dolan.

Still, the company's new owners said public demand prompted the return.

"America wanted Hostess back – they wanted the original," Daren Metropoulos, principal of Metropoulos & Co., told ABC News. "Very soon consumers will once again be able to enjoy Twinkies, CupCakes and other great Hostess snack cakes. A comeback by any other name could never be as sweet."

But the new Twinkies are slightly different from the original: The snack's shelf life has been extended by almost three weeks, from 26 days to 45 days, according to ABC News.

An although Hostess says it asked retailers not to sell the revamped snacks until Monday, some stores, including Wal-Mart and Kroger, said they stocked their shelves on Friday.

Wal-Mart had a first batch of Twinkies available in 1,600 stores on Friday, and by Sunday the snacks were available in 3,000 stores, according to CNN.

"Hostess has shipped product to every major retail customer across the country ... These shipments were coordinated to give everyone the same opportunity to display the product on July 15th," Hostess said in a statement to The Associated Press. "Hostess has not, and is not, giving any particular retailer exclusivity or preference to have products first."

Kroger, the company that owns the grocery stores Ralph's, Fry's and Food 4 Less, also said it had Twinkies stocked in about a quarter of its 2,400 stores on Friday, the AP reported.

The Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union said in a statement that it was interested in working with the new owners of Hostess to ensure the "long-term viability" of the products.

"Last year's demise of Hostess was due in large measure to critical mistakes made by a series of management teams that simply did not have any meaningful experience in the wholesale bread and cake baking business," said union President David Durkee in the statement. "To avoid the same fate, the BCTGM encourages the two private equity firms ... to change their approach and work with our union and our members in a cooperative manner. This is their best hope for long-term success."
