This reminds me of that episode of “Seinfeld” where Kramer settles his suit against the coffee shop for a lifetime supply of free coffee.

It will be interesting to see what Ms. Iseman has to say in her Op-Ed.

According to Fox, she settled - not dropped.

They must’ve got some other dirt on her and calmed her down.

Ms. Iseman, however, is not a government or public official, and in our view, not even a public figure. Had this case proceeded to trial, the judicial determination of whether she is entitled to the protections afforded a private citizen would have been the subject of a ferocious, pivotal battle, with Ms. Iseman insisting on her status as a private person and The New York Times asserting that she had entered the public arena, and was therefore fair game.

Niiiiiice. NYT libels you, then when you say, hey, you can't get away with that, I'm not a public figure, they say, sure you are, look at all the press you're getting because you're suing us for libel!"
