Well I do disagree. It is my profession after all and I know how careful one has to be sometimes. I once did a piece where the magazine I was working on, was threatened with a potential lawsuit ahead of time if I went ahead and wrote the piece. We convened a meeting and agreed, even if we were in the right, the magazine might have to pay minimum $20K to defend a baseless lawsuit. The only reason the lawsuit was being threatened was that two people didn't want us to run a piece that went against their agenda and opinion. We fact checked every word, even if and or but :). We ran the piece. Everything went okay. Newspapers and magazines are generally run by corporations, and in some cases are like institutions (NY Times). You can do a housecleaning if something goes wrong (as did at the NY Times). Anybody can post a blog, so some checks and balances have to be instituted. So I for one hope the judge creates some of those.
