Interesting point, but that would be nothing more than a hypothetical scenario for Breitbart to mention. He'd have a hard time winning such a case because he'd have to demonstrate that he actually suffered some kind of harm or monetary loss as a result of the defamation.

Weiner's defense -- and it's a perfectly legitimate one -- is that Breitbart has actually benefited from all the nonsense and exposure Weiner has given him (no pun intended) over the last week.

Do threats to himself and his family resulting from Weiner's instigation count? I would think they do.

Weiner is was clearly abusing the power of his position at Breitbart's peril and should know that leftist activists would act upon his behalf. Brietbart is being no monstrous media corporation capable of mounting an extensive defense and Weiner knows that too.

I've seen less cause than that wind up in court before.
