with:ol’ joe isn’t getting a lot right these days but he’s really hit the target this time
Sound a bit like Oscar Wilde!I respect Crikey's guts and determination here, but they are on a hiding to nothing. In these sorts of cases, the truth is rarely important. It's a matter of who can hold out the longest as the lawyers suck more and more money out of your business, or who can withstand the reputational damage the longest. It's the reason why so many cases settle -- because one party just can't afford to keep going.
Murdoch has infinitely more money than Crikey. I struggle to see how they'll keep up.
Pelosi rules the House.with:
- a congress as hostile as the one biden has to work with (and a house republican minority unhinged as it is)
- a senate deadlocked at 50/50
- a senate democratic membership beholden to the recalcitrant whims and fancies of manchin and sinema .....
bidens actually doing ok
My pub was in a village called Twyford not far from Reading and the authorities took Wilde to the station there when he was released from jail to avoid the media. I often thought of the poor prick as I was waiting there for my train.Sound a bit like Oscar Wilde!
Wilde sued, lost and ended up in jail.
I have ancestors from there. Cousin?My pub was in a village called Twyford not far from Reading and the authorities took Wilde to the station there when he was released from jail to avoid the media. I often thought of the poor prick as I was waiting there for my train.
Wokingham, Reading & Sulhampstead. What''s a PikieI was a blow in, are you a Pikie? There was a permanent camp right around the corner from my pub.
Ta.Deepest darkest Berkshire. Pikies are Irish travelers, like Brad Pitt's character in Snatch.
This is true.do tell ... what do they expect to find.
Its Lachlan taking the action, not Rupert, not one of the Murdoch companies.
This is true.
Lachlan is Rupert's idiot son. He's Rupert's problem and he knows it.
Rupert is happy for Lachlan to marry a princess and live in a castle but that's as far as he's prepared to let him off the leash.
Rupert's other son James, however, is another thing altogether.
Good article to read from the Guardian. Rather lengthy but found this section interesting.
Dr Matthew Collins QC, the president of the Australian Bar Association and a defamation law expert, says the fundamental legal question to be considered by the court is “what does the ordinary reasonable reader of the Crikey piece understand to be conveyed by the piece”.
“And here, what’s interesting is that Lachlan Murdoch is not named – the reference is to Murdoch and to Fox News, and the imputations derive mostly from the heading and that single sentence at the end.”
Perhaps counterintuitively, having written less, rather than more, about Murdoch, leaves greater scope for argument about what the article conveys to a reader.
Collins argues “there are very serious questions about whether the imputations are, in fact, conveyed, and serious questions about whether the article sufficiently identifies Mr Murdoch in circumstances where he hasn’t been expressly named”.
And he argues the case is ripe to contest the newly introduced “public interest” defence in NSW defamation law: a defence to the publication of defamatory material if the issue is of public interest and it was reasonably believed the publication of the matter was in the public interest.

Article ends with:
In the legal correspondence with the Murdochs that Crikey published this week, it quoted Lachlan’s own words back at him. In his 2014 Keith Murdoch Oration (Keith Murdoch was his grandfather), Lachlan Murdoch argued “censorship should be resisted in all its insidious forms”.
“We should be vigilant of the gradual erosion of our freedom to know, to be informed and make reasoned decisions in our society and in our democracy.”

On the hook for billions in damages for sustained unsubstantiated claims about failure of security of Dominion voting systems across the entire Fox network.Define screwed?

Both the network and a large number of its high profile presenters are in for a world of financial pain. And Rudy Guiliani.
Dominion have had their name dragged through the mud on a lie, they aren't f***ing around. They are going to take those campaigners for every cent they have.

Yep, billions. Fox and friends cannot produce any evidence of voter machine fraud to substantiate their on air claims of a stolen election.$billions. Lets see ....
I'm fairly confident that Dominion will settle out of court with Murdoch for $15B.$billions. Lets see ....
