The article read as a whole conveyed to the ordinary reader that the plaintiff was outlining a legitimate business view about exploiting a market niche and the text neutralized any defamatory implication of the headline and introductory paragraph; consequently the subject article did not bear the defamatory imputation alleged by the plaintiff and the plaintiff's claim was dismissed.
