Of course all but the
mentally deranged are now convinced that the photocopy of a suddenly
produced birth certificate - that's being widely
questioned (but only by said deranged) has ended the
debate. As Al Gore famously still says, "The debate is
over. Every expert agrees that man causes global warming!"
So of course WND, and lapdog Corsi, had no choice but to retreat, tails
betwixt legs. Sigh. Except, it was all
just
a joke .
Haha. Even the poseur saw humor in all this. Joe Farah, not
so much— |

... an example of the most shameful illustration of libel, defamation
and
tortious interference with a business you are likely to see committed
by a major media outlet. It's still there – in all of its infamy.
Unretracted. No apology. No offer of recompense from one of the largest
and wealthiest privately held companies in the world.
And that's why I am, at considerable expense, filing a lawsuit against
Mark Warren, Esquire and the Hearst Corporation – because I believe
this attack piece, if unchallenged, will further define down our
standards for the politics of personal destruction in the media.

And that leads me to
the cost saving idea of the year. Hell, of the 21st
century! Rather than spend billions of dollars every year
litigating political disputes, we do this. As soon as a
case is assigned to a judge it will be de facto decided by who
appointed that judge to the bench. Cases being heard by a Carter,
Clinton or Obama judge will be decided in favor of the Liberal
position. All others go to Americans. I believe that if you
look at every federal court ruling over the past 30 years, you'll find
that this procedure will result in the same result at least 98% of the
time. You're welcome.

ReplyDeleteI thought lawsuits were "frivolous".
1. I'm not filing the suit
ReplyDelete3. I've presented a wonderful alternative.
3. I don't thing libel suits fall in the class action. or ambulance chaser category.
Oui?
"Hurt feelings" lawsuits are generally the biggest bunch of junk you will find. Those are generally filed for no other reason than because dueling is illegal.
ReplyDeleteHere's the test:
ReplyDeleteNo champerty; no problem
Chuck: As a (small press) publisher, myself, I can pretty much assure you that the above article potentially hurt sales of the book, possibly significantly. That's loss of income, and therefore real damages -- not just "hurt feelings." If companies like Esquire Magazine are allowed to do this unchecked, it could actually cause SEVERE harm to the entire publishing industry, not just "hurt feelings."
ReplyDeleteThis is a lawsuit worth filing. Getting an accurate estimate on the real damages might be difficult to determine, mind, but that's almost beside the point, here.
Chuck's a smart man, and knows that. He's just tweaking me for my stand against ambulance chasers in general.
