Honestly, I'm surprised anyone is even willing to do a review, when they have shown a willingness to sue the press for libel. Why bother taking the risk? Just let them have no press.
- jonknee 14y agoAny company or individual should be willing to sue the press for libel. It should also not be of any concern to a media outlet because by rule you should not be committing libel. It would be an awesomely poor publication that is only willing to report on people and organizations that won't sue the publication when it intentionally misrepresents the facts.
- lawnchair_larry 14y agoIn a perfect world. But in the real world, your concern has little to do with whether or not you actually committed libel. Just because you didn't, doesn't mean the company that you just trashed won't lawyer up and claim otherwise. If US courts were "loser pays", this would be somewhat less of a concern.

- milesskorpen 14y agoThe UK has very different libel laws, so it isn't quite the same as suing for libel in the US (which is rather rare).
- cube13 14y agoWhich makes the fact that Tesla lost the lawsuit in the UK even more remarkable. The burden of proof rests on the defense in the UK, not the plaintiffs.
