- protomyth 10y agoGiven how much you really, really have to screw around as a news organization to be liable, and let's not forget defying a judge (not in a proper appeal sort of way), they pretty much got what was coming to them. In a different industry, ask Arthur Anderson about corporate capital punishment. Their ruling was vacated and they still died.
