Any defamation suit will be designed to out-spend me (not hard to do) defending against it. They would be wrong, but the issue would still be a jury question after a lot of legal work.

John Oliver did a video on SLAPP suits a few years ago. Go on Youtube and search for "john oliver eat shit bob." You'll find two videos about some coal baron. After the first episode aired, the coal baron sued HBO for libel. HBO won, but it cost a considerable amount of money in lawyer's fees. The second episode was about SLAPP suits.
