They could get sued for libel if they named the guy with nothing but rumor or inside knowledge to back up the assertions.
If this is all true, when charges are formally filed, the name will be part of the public record. At that point, they can write that “Joe Jerk has been charged with 3 counts of etc. etc.”
Hillbuzz writers have stepped on so many toes in the past couple of years that they need bodyguards. The situation for them just got worse today.
Well, duh.
Yup. They've made a bold move here.
I have enjoyed following the boys at Hillbuzz for almost a year now. Have you read any of the Mineral City thread? I think it is written by the mom of one of the boys. Sample:
The Mineral City Coffee Club meets every Sunday to discuss matters pertinent to current events, politics in general, the annual Wooly Bear Festival, and whatever their families are up to (in particular, their model-train obsessed husbands and ungrateful daughters). Headquartered in Mineral City (“the Paris of Tuscarawas County”), the formerly Democrat-only Coffee Club has recently joined forces with the formerly Republican-only Mineral City Ladies Guild, in bipartisan beverage enjoyment unprecedented in central Ohio. Election 2008 made strange bedfellows and breakfast buddies indeed. Whenever the ladies decide to write in, we’ll post their musings here.
