“Joe McGinniss and his publisher are currently being sued by Sarah Palin’s lawyer. “
Lots of loose journalism going on. Nobody has sued anybody yet.

Semantics. I consider a Letter of Intent the start of a lawsuit procedure.

BTW Are you are journalist? I’m not nor are many of those who post on Free Republic. A certain level of “looseness” is to be expected, tolerated, and accepted.
So, besides picking nits.....

I prefer facts, but each to his own, I guess.

I prefer an absence of sanctimony, try it. What exactly is not factual? Are you a trial lawyer?

I certainly don’t think the world is going to fall apart! I’ve seen a lot more heinous errors then saying someone is suing (whose lawyers have sent letters of intent) by the LSM. The main point of the article is McGinnis has been slimy for a long time.

Sanctimony? Better get out the dictionary and try again.

You seem terribly condescending. Have you read “How to win friends and influence people?”

Thanks. I thought it was useful to show the record on Joe McGinniss dating back to his 1987 settlement. It’s actually quite a story in a story.

Jeffrey MacDonald, the former Army Green Beret and physician convicted of the bloody murders of his wife and two young daughters, won a $325,000 settlement Monday from the author (Joe McGinnis) who portrayed him as a killer in the book "Fatal Vision." The suit wasn't over MacDonald's guilt, but rather, over some supposed agreement that McGinnis had with MacDonald to portray him as innocent in exchange for information. MacDonald was guiltier than hell.

Whether a suit goes forward or there is a settlement before, I suspect $325k is going to look like chump change.
To: MN_Mike
I actually thought he’d been proved innocent. Guess I’ve watched The Fugitive too many times, LOL!

A certain level of looseness is to be expected, tolerated, and accepted. Depends.

I see your point on McFaggot being a POS, but I have a bit of trouble feeling sorry for some human debris who killed his wife and 2 daughters being lied to by him. After all, he killed his wife and 2 daughters. And BTW, his wife was pregnant.

What is it with all these n00bs lately being such jerks? I’ve seen so many lately that just start snarking the minute they hit a thread. Maybe they’ve never heard the fly/honey analogy or just haven’t learned how to have a decent online conversation. And this one’s actually better than some of them I’ve encountered. When I signed up I kinda thought “snark” was something I had to earn.

Moomieeeeeee! He called me a bad word!
Actually, I wasn’t referring to you. You didn’t pick a fight with me, did you? That would be a personal attack. You wouldn’t do that, therefore I was not referring to you.
