Condemned as “Not a Real Person” By Rush Limbaugh, a Small Businesswoman Speaks Out

60. what about all the other challenges to building a successful case?

again, it's not clear to me what he said that actionably defaming and readily tied to actual damages.

questioning if a tweet came from a real person is actionable? really?
even if he phrased it as a fact that turns out to be false (or even if he knew it was false), does that really amount to slander?

and as far as i can tell, it was scarebaby who volunteered the private information, to prove she was a real person. they would easily argue that she could have left well enough alone and it was her voluntary disclosures, giving out her name, region, and her business, that caused any damages.


one example of the challenges real life legal disputes -- a company i worked for once sued an insurance company for breach of contract. the insurance company canceled a prepaid 5-year policy after 1 year and refused to return the remaining premium. legally, the question was did they have the right to cancel after it was prepaid or did they need to return the premium. as the contract was written, it seemed like an open-and-shut case that they couldn't cancel after it was prepaid (which was the whole reason for prepaying) but the outcome was that not only could they cancel but that they could KEEP the premiums. this makes absolutely NO SENSE whatsoever but it actually happened. so you see where i'm coming from when i hear about legal cases that sound easy....
