Perhaps if he was using an internet connection in his mom’s basement, and she was paying for it,

she and he could lose the house to a libel action?

Hate to get that vicious, but the leftists are requiring it.

I don't mean only the initial post, even if it's in his mom's basement, I'm talking about the article here, the admittedly fraudulent piece was printed in the Examiner in earlier edition, I've seen it posted from other sources as well. It is those media that I refer to, the old "two independent, reliable sources" rule has been long gone from journalism.

It's true that anyone can/may write anything on any site, anonymous as well. But if another entity picks it up, repeats it without checking things out, verifying accuracy, especially in the face of what ElainaVer contributed here a moment ago, it stands to reason that they did not exercise proper judgment, did not investigate, verify the source. It would be hard to claim absence of malice in this case.
