A win for real news

Sorry Sarah Palin!

"Responsible journals will promptly correct their errors; others will not," Rakoff wrote. "But if political journalism is to achieve its constitutionally endorsed role of challenging the powerful, legal redress by a public figure must be limited to those cases where the public figure has a plausible factual basis for complaining that the mistake was made maliciously, that is, with knowledge it was false or with reckless disregard of its falsity. Here, plaintiff's complaint, even when supplemented by facts developed at an evidentiary hearing convened by the Court, fails to make that showing."

Only when it's filed against them. When they have a complaint, it's not "whining", it's completely legitimate because they're special.

You didn't get the memo?
