That's because you are reading from a journalist.
They are like a mob in this case.
You're obviously right, it's libel, full stop. And Hulk Hogan didn't win because he had Thiel money, he won because he was right, and if Gwaker would win, it would be because of money, and that would be something anormal.
- spyspy 10y ago> [Journalists] are like a mob in this case. That's fairly hyperbolic. The press tends to be defensive due to the long history of attacks it's had to withstand to do their jobs.
- zeveb 10y ago> The press tends to be defensive due to the long history of attacks it's had to withstand to do their jobs. They also tend to be fairly expansive in defining what exactly their jobs are, e.g. demanding protections to overlook and ignore criminal behaviour that no other citizens have. I'm not terribly sympathetic here: journalists should have exactly the same rights and responsibilities that every other citizen has, period.

- huac 10y ago> You're obviously right, it's libel, full stop. Libel requires falsehood. That's not the case here.
- NEDM64 10y agoInvasion of privacy, doesn't matter. It's a crime against Hulk Hogan and whomever was on that tape.
