Wow.. At first glance I thought... can he sue because the public mistook him for someone? Of course not.

But can he sue the media for mistaking him for someone else? That is a can of the worms, there. I don't know about the special rights of media or what responsibilities they have, but they usually cover their ass fairly well.

They don't report much as fact. So they'll say "it's being reported that.." or "facts indicate that.." or "person X is believed to be..." etc.
