Bit Machiavellian, but not incorrect

But I don't think anyone's looking for saints

I mean, beyond Clintonites pretending your sins just wash away the darker your skin is and how much estrogen you produce

Because it fits the subject matter so well

anyone else see that the courts dismissed the Covington Catholic Kids lawsuit?

woot

no, that's not good.

The judge sided with big media.

That one judge in that one case, yes. But they can appeal, and there's two other suits that are still going forward.

They are appealing,

NBC and CNN are also being sued.

$250 million seems a bit excessive tbh

Depends.

Suits of that size are never settled for the stated amount. It's more about the symbalism.

Besides, there's always lawyers' fes.

I don't like that the judge is saying the news can do whatever they want as long as it's 'opinion'

So he says it wasn't defamatory

This is a summary from the lawsuit

How is this not defamatory?

None of these things actually happened, so where did the WaPo get this information from? How can this be considered just false reporting, and not a complete fabrication of a false narrative?

People should keep a close eye on that judge, I think he's suspicious

Possibly because the Post had its "crack legal team" go over the article, so that it could be tweaked just enough to avoid the pants getting sued off them?

That could be reason enough for an outright dismissal of the case?

So the judge says that the WaPo never addressed that boy by his name in the article

And that's why it can't be considered to be defamatory

I think you may be on point with your suspicion @Goodwood of Dank™

Yeah.

I think we can say this is a case of the spirit of the law vs. the letter of the law.

Yeah, I guess we can't blame the judge

The suits against the TV networks likely have more weight behind them, because it's a lot harder to curate what appears on television. Especially when a lot of it can be off-the-cuff.

Yeah, and I hate to admit it but I gotta side with the judge

Well I guess I learned a crucial life lesson

Rich people don't just get away more often because they have money, but also because they can buy the insight into how to skirt the law so they can't be prosecuted in the first place

Indeed.

That's what it means to have a high-powered legal team.

Reminds of the movie The Insider were the lawyers edit Mike Wallace's piece from 30 minutes to 2 minutes in order to protect them from lawsuits.

@Jokerfaic why u so anti-trimp bra?
