Thanks for more good news today about the NY Slimes!

If it's libel shouldn't they be liable even if they're liberal?

Schadenfreude

This is the New York Times Schadenfreude Ping List. Freepmail me to be added or dropped.

Ooops, apparently this lie ended up in court, and the Slimes just got hammered.

My,my! It never rains but it pours!! It seems that the NYT has suddenly become that Andy Capp character Joe Btfsplk (sp)(the unlucky little guy who always had a rain cloud over his head).

[Cicero]

Aren't cub reporters taught in Elementary Reporting 101 that if someone's enemy accuses them of doing something wrong, that they should crosscheck it before assuming that the accusation is is true?

Maybe this isn't premeditated libel, but isn't it sloppy, reckless, unprofessional libel?

[Valin]

But the jury said it was done without malicious intent and refused to award damages.

I was under the impression that Sulivan V NY Times stayed that there had to be malice shown for there to be libel in regards to a "public person".

A pyrrhic victory, but I'll take it.

Fox Butterfield

The biggest gun grabber at the paper. Figures.

Advice to the NYT - when you are in the hole, stop digging. Anyone should know not to trust a reporter named Jayson or Fox Butterfield.

This just in:
THE NEW YORK TIMES has found a replacement that is guaranteed to bring them to an EVEN HIGHER LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE than they were known for, before all this trouble occurred:

"YES SIR MR RAINES, I'LL GET RIGHT ON IT!!!"
