- Patrick Clawson was described by reporter Karen Branch-Brioso in a newspaper story as a “1970s era St. Louis journalist turned private eye turned FBI informant.” The story was published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The fact that he had been characterized as an informant bothered Clawson, who saw it as damaging to his reputation. Accordingly, he brought a libel case against the Post-Dispatch. Recall that to be libelous, a statement must be false and “hold the victim up to ridicule, contempt, or hatred.” Clawson would have preferred the term whistleblower rather than informant because that term commands more respect.
