Remember how they called Bernard Goetz the subway vigilante? Goetz should have sued. These media wordsmiths know what they are saying is wrong but they do it to keep the black population in a lather in order to benefit their blessed Democrat party.
Goetz would have had a very difficult case if he filed a lawsuit against any media outlet under those circumstances. For one thing, he’d have to contend with the possibility that a jury might find that the media statements were true (which means no legal action for slander or libel can be taken). Secondly, he’d have a very hard time documenting any kind of financial loss or other harm from the media’s actions. If anything, he enjoyed a tremendous degree of popularity and public acclaim that he never would have had otherwise.
