I'm not a lawyer, but I think it's a nice way of saying, "Hey fuck face, we are planning on suing you."

A prelude to actually filing a suit with the appropriate court.

Amiright?

I think the best they can hope for is a backhanded apology at 3 am saying how the networks were duped by irresponsible people with an alternate agenda, but actually made a common sense assumption because everyone knows "Orange Man Bad".

Under normal circumstances, where there is an adult whose name was besmirched and is only looking to get a quick payout and move on.... sure.

But, this is different.

I believe that the father of the main kid involved has taken it upon himself to begin a one man war against the media, and has decided to go balls deep, no lube, and break that motherfucker off at the base.

This could be the most amazing thing that we ever witness in our life times.

Imagine... one kid, bringing the MSM to heel like the little bitches that they are.

They went too far, assumed way too much, then doubled-down on their uber-retardation.

Now, its time to pay the piper. Going after the individuals listed, not just the big corporations, is very telling in all of this.

Perhaps HBO and CNN and whoever won't feel the pain, but Kathy Griffin, and all the other individuals listed, who will have to pay out of pocket....

Maybe, next time... they'll keep their goddamned mouths shut.

And that sits just fine with me.

No it is not. However it has a very high legal bar to meet. If there is any reasonable means of thinking that it wasn't a lie at the time of publication then the bar is not met. In this case I think the bar is met.

It seems like the speed at which the other 60 seconds of video was released, and the ease of obtaining it likely meets that bar.

It was a couple of hours before the other video got traction, it was probably available from the get go.

I guarantee you those legal letters that were sent had a 200M figure listed. I bet some of the big networks will settle for the 10's and some of the smaller people will be sued.

One thing that I think we need to eventually see is the collusion between the major liberal media.  There is obviously some back channel agreements and conversations going on daily on what their talking points are going to be.  I don't know if we will be able to see any of this as I don't think there is any type of discovery for a civil suit.  It will take the media doing something so bad and corrupt that they intentionally get people injured or killed until we see what is really going on behind the scenes.  I want to see the emails and text between the big wigs.

This. Defamation is not protected speech under 1A.

Discovery will be interesting, if people throw each other under the bus:

CBS Anchor:  "I am not liable, because I was just repeating what CBS News told me to say."

CBS News:  "I am not liable, because I was just repeating what the Associated Press said."

Associated Press:  "I am not liable, because I was just repeating what the DNC told me to say via their secret-squirrel listserv of DNC talking points that we all subscribe to."

DNC: "Oh shit, cat's out of the bag now!"

This guy gets it.  Except yes, there is discovery in civil suits.  
--Requests for Admissions are statements written by the kids' lawyers that are deemed admitted by the defendant unless they deny them and state the factual basis for the denial.
--Requests for Production of Documents are demands for specific documents (written or electronic).
--Interrogatories are written questions that demand written answers.
--Depositions are Q&A under sworn oath with the penalty for perjury.

I could see the kids' lawyers settling for humiliating public apologies from Kathy Griffin and other pissant players, but not settling for anything against the big media moguls until discovery is complete.

I hope your swag is right, but it seems like the leap from "honest reporting" later proven wrong to some kind of provable malicious intent is going to be tough, especially for secondary commentary by public figures talking about something they saw on the news.

the problem is, they were pushing this attack knowing that there was video out there to prove the contrary. CNN even acknowledge the other video while still attacking the kids. There still has yet to be a retraction by any major news media outlet, even they they know that their statements made against these kids are false.
