Why the sarcasm switch.

I hope they don’t have a good insurance policy and lose a huge judgement and it bankrupts them.

Why the sarcasm switch.

Pursuant to the First Amendment, legal protections for libel for the news business are very strong. They require proof that the perpetrators knew what they wrote was false, had malicious intent, and it did damage. That's a high threshold in this case, such that Carson is unlikely to collect a dime.

All three or no judgment. Hence the tag.
