I need case brief of this case Mr. Jones, a self-proclaimed neighbourhood activist, assisted a resident in his community, Ms. Sunshine, in a fence dispute with another neighbour, Mr. Donut. In Y-1, Mr. Jones was sued by Mr. Donut for defamation. In the same year, the Court ordered Mr. Jones to pay Mr. Donut $50,000.00 for defamation.

On January 1, Y0, Ms. Cranberry, a journalist, with a regular column in the triOS Tribute newspaper, wrote a column about the Court's decision in the case between Mr. Donut and Mr. Jones. The column was titled "No Sunshine and Donuts Here", which was published by the triOS Tribute on January 2, Y0, both in print and online.

Mr. Jones has now sued Mr. Cranberry and triOS Tribute (the "Defendants") for $5,000.00, alleging that the column was defamatory of his character. You represent the Defendants. The Defendants are asking you if the Court could strike Mr. Jones' claim.
