The trouble is she might not have a case. The internet has no protections against slander as far as
I know. This might be precedent (?) setting case on that. As for Foxnews, they sound like they are
covered. They didn't report on this on tv until after Sherod resigned. This becomes news even if
it was based on a wrong tape. Brightbairt is probably screwed though unless he can prove that he
didn't edit the tape, received it as is, and had it verified in 'good faith' that it was legitimate. A tall order.
Provided the whole 'Why would you beleive anything from the internet?!' argument fails.
