re: criticism and parody of public figures

Two examples

(1)MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch program. It's absolutely outrageous, but nobody sues.

(2) National Enquirer. Its news articles do generate lawsuits from time to time.

Both involve public figures. I'm not a legal expert, so you'll have to figure out the difference. However it probably has something to with humorous satire versus alleged facts.

You don't see much of anything on private figures. There's probably a reason for this.

>>I see Bartiromo as more of a public figure and therefore my rules for criticism are a little different than those for a private individual (or SI personality).<<

> Explain, please?
