Austria's public broadcaster, the ORF, has filed a lawsuit against the country's deputy leader after he accused it and one of its news presenters of lying.
Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, head of the far-right Freedom Party, made the accusation on Facebook.
He has long accused the ORF of left-wing bias and said he wants to abolish the licence fee that supports it.
The news presenter involved, Armin Wolf, is also suing Mr Strache.
He says no politician has accused him of lying before.
The row started two weeks ago when Mr Strache posted a picture on Facebook of Mr Wolf with the words: "There is a place where lies become news. That place is ORF."
