If I lived in NJ. I would definitely have some reservations about posting.
hahaha- oh man, I would love to see someone come after me for something I posted on FR. Honestly- It would make my life.
I live in Manhattan now, but still. LOL
Anyone with any sense in NJ who is serious about creating an online media outlet creates a LLC or LLP, or offshores the operations to a non-treaty country.
Donald Trump’s son in law, the scion of the scumbag Kushner family, runs the politicker.com family of websites, including the articles/rantings/insider info of a anonymous nom de plume ‘Wally Edge’ who has posted seriously libelous articles over the years.
ON the other side, in Hoboken NJ, there are several blog/news type websites run as libelous rumor mills between old guard, new guard, and new opposition groups in the Dem political machines. The Feds just raided one of their offices last month, and has an open investigation.

The shield law in NJ is a tool of convenience of the powerful and connected. “Pierced veil” arguments in courts are used to get around it regularly.
ON the other side of things, Hundreds of people knew Jim McGreevey was gay, many knew since he was a teenager, dozens of Trenton bigwigs, and dozens of NJ’s top political reporters knew this even before he announced his first run for governor. Yet no major media OR online media dared publish the info.
When someone shopped info around that he saw McGreevey cruising around NYC’s red light district for male prostitutes, not a single media company in the tri-state would publish the info....
