Media on Trial, For Real: ABCNews Could Face $5.7 <i>Billion</i> Damage Claim in Defamation Case Revolving Around "Pink Slime" Claims

Media on Trial, For Real: ABCNews Could Face $5.7 Billion Damage Claim in Defamation Case Revolving Around "Pink Slime" Claims

A judge has dismissed their motion to dismiss (on First Amendment grounds) and the case now goes to a live jury. A live South Dakota jury.

The potential loss is so vast that Disney has listed this case, and no others, in a shareholder report noting possible liabilities.

I wish them luck with a capital "F."

34 From the link...

And as for use of the "pink slime" phrase, these attorneys added, "BPI has argued that the term 'pink slime' implies that LFTB is unappetizing, 'repulsive' or 'disgusting.' But those are value judgments, not provably false statements of fact. What is gross or disgusting to one person may be a delicacy to another. We would not say that one such person speaks the truth, while the other utters a falsehood."

Because here in the midwest, Pink Slime is served along Jello salad at the Thursday night Lutheran hot dish dinner.

71 It's an interesting case, but a long way from a judgment trebled to $5.7 billion, and then actually collected. As these things typically go, expect a settlement sometime soon for a couple of hundred million, at most.

That's not a killer for DIS, which has a market cap of $164 billion, but it would be a warning to MSM.

MSM may get sued by Trump for libel. Yeah, yeah, The NY Times v Sullivan case. But MSM is creating quite a record of actual malice with things like using anonymous unknown unvetted sources, and what their reporters say on social media.

In an article linked on Drudge about Lara Trump (who is beautiful, too), it mentions the terrorist attack, but ONLY in terms of how it "triggered a provocative tweet storm" by President Trump. Also in the article, how Jared Kushner is tarnished by the Russian accusations (bs) and how Ivanka failed to persuade her father to stay in the Paris accord. The comments are funny tho; everyone sees through the ridiculous bias.

I assumed he was going to get fried, considering all the women who have come out with similar stories. But after reading some of what the Temple basketball woman had to say, I'm starting to wonder.

This chick was calling Cosby dozens of times in the space of a couple months, twice went to his home and ate dinner with him, alone in front of the fireplace in a dimly lit room. She also once went up to his hotel room, where she knew he was alone, because he called and asked her if she wanted some "baked goods" (is that slang for something kinky?).

She admits Cosby gave her gifts of cashmere sweaters, perfume, and a $225 hair dryer, "so she could style her hair the way he liked it" -- and we're supposed to believe that she had no idea he viewed this as some sort of romantic relationship? GMAFB. She's either an idiot, or she was leading him on in the hopes of getting something more from him. Doesn't give him an excuse to drug her, but she's not exactly an innocent in all this.

236 Thanks for the heads up. Love the article. Would love to see ABC and Disney lose. However, here is my bottom line, if ABC Disney lose throughout the lower courts, this case will get to the Supreme Court and there sits John Roberts and the four leftists.

ABC Disney will prevail at the Supreme Court. The days of the Supreme Court not being politicized died with Roberts' Obamacare decision. It was a purely political decision not grounded in law despite Roberts' using legal terms.

The rule of law at Supreme Court died that day. Never before in the history of US law could the government force American's to buy a product or else. As long as Roberts remains on the Court with the four leftists, politics, not justice, will prevail.

"Pink slime" may be defamatory, it may also be descriptive. The stuff is a vibrant pink and it looks slimy. It is, I don't believe this is argued, an ammoniated beef product, which sounds disgusting.

And before this reporting I had thought that ground beef was mostly beef what had been ground up and not artificially pinked with ammonia slime.

In other words, this still sounds like basically good reporting with maybe some lurid headlines, which are the stock in trade of news organizations.

My take exactly. All this shit came out after Cosby rightfully called out women and the culture for driving out fathers. He then had hell rain down on him and he retracted and blamed the fathers.

For some reason online "discussion" turned it into something about being gluten-free, which is the least relevant characteristic here. I mean, breast milk is gluten free.

It was just that these people had no clue and refused to see a doctor until it was too late.

Saw a photo of her with Putin the other day, and she was wearing some off-the-shoulder cocktail dress with stiletto heeled sandals.

It took a leftist judge to save her.
Basically the judge felt the defendants didn't respond directly to the question (aka give an answer the judge liked), and that was the same as not answering at all. Therefore her edit was not dishonest or with malice.

Look at the timeline of events. It all started shortly after Cosby placed some blame on women for wanting to raise fatherless children. He got destroyed for that. He retracted and changed placing the blame on men.

If I was sodomized by a gang of homosexuals or even by one, I damn sure would not wait years or even decades to press charges. I'd press charges the next day.

Why wait decades and years? Please don't say Cosby intimidated them or they feared for their lives. He is powerful like the Clintons.

281 @The Media Sux ... kinda, yeah. I had a friend who said she was raped at a frat party. Only it was two different parties, with the same people, and she kept hanging out with them.

The "rape" was she got blackout drunk and slept with some known number of guys. I am sure that she had a ton of shame, regret, and probably fear afterwards, but it was a situation she chose to put herself in and continued to put herself in. At some point, you need to realize that alcohol + blacking out + horny guys = sex. If you put yourself in that situation, you are choosing the sex.

__________________

The only one he is being criminally charged with raping, at least in this current case, is the Constand woman from Temple U. One of the other women is being allowed to testify about a similar assault she says happened in the 80's, to establish a pattern.

The Constand woman testified today and she has some serious credibility problems. She claims she just thought Cosby was trying to help her career, but she was accepting very personal gifts from him (cashmere sweaters, perfume, an expensive hairdryer so she "could style her hair the way he liked it"), calling him incessantly, going over to his home for one-on-one dinners with him in front of his fireplace, going to his hotel room at night when she knew he was there alone, etc.

Also, she told conflicting stories about when the assault happened. In one version, she told police it happened on a certain date when she went to Cosby's house, but then her phone records showed that at the same time she claimed she was unconscious, or nearly so, and unable to move because of the drugs on that date, she was making multiple phone calls to various friends, and even to Cosby himself. So she changed her story and said that it happened on a different night, and that she had just been thinking of confronting Cosby on that night, and that is why she was confused. Sounds pretty dubious.

The main problem is that she claims she was never interested in any kind of romantic or sexual relationship with Cosby because she's gay, but then why was she leading him on the way she was? Why accept the personal gifts, why keep going to his house for intimate dinners, why go to his hotel room, why keep calling him? Just say "No, dude, I'm gay and not interested." She was apparently trying to get something from him -- money, favors, whatever, and she was using his sexual interest in her to try and keep him on the line. Again, does not give him the right to drug and/or molest her, but it makes her look like an opportunist and with all the other discrepancies in her story, it makes her look less than credible.

Wait, so because I'm a man who was raped by a gang of homosexuals it would be easier to come forward?!?! Are you freaking kidding me?!?! Your true feminist nature is showing.

Regret is not rape. I know feminists and white knights believe it is, but it is not.

So where are the rape kits? Where are the complaints filed with law enforcement? The girl that was raped by Tyson filed charges immediately, and Tyson was way more powerful physically and as a brand than Cosby could ever dream of being.

Where are the complaints filed? These would leave a paper trail to prove all of your claims about being treated terribly and intimidated to drop charges.

Can you at least wait for the full trial before convicting the man?

I lived through the 80's as well. Mike Tyson was worth and brought in 10 times the amount of money if not more. Plus, he was the most physically intimidating man on the planet.

Unfortunately, since close to half or even more rape accusations by women are false allegations, I'd like to hear all the evidence. But from what I know, it sounds like regret and not rape, and there is a huge difference you know.

It is a he said she said, which is why they should have immediately went to the police and filed charges. I expect the paper trail to be available for all of them if this is the case.

Right now both sides are leaking propaganda to the media. It's best to allow all the facts to come out in the hearing.

He doesn't rape them, or do all the creepy things to their "dead" bodies.

He's a creep, a pervert and a weirdo. It's obvious that he gets off on their being like corpses.

This isn't a case of having too much to drink or being tipsy or taking drug and then losing your inhibitions.

His whole intent was to make them like dead bodies. To paralyses their minds and bodies. So much so that they didn't even know where they were after just a sip of alcohol and one pill.

To make sure they COULDN'T know what had happened to them. Make sure they couldn't prove anything.

And to top it all off, sometimes he would give them money to get home so they would look like prostitutes. Willing participant.

Imagine their confusion and fear. Then knowing that they wouldn't be able to go up against him and his reputation even if they wanted to.

He's a sick bastard.

308 The counter allegation is that they consented to sex. No one consents to rape.

309 "It's their allegation that he did anything to them against their will at all. He maintains that they are lying. That's why there is a trial."

Right. That's fine.

The problem I had was with the guy who says that taking a sip of alcohol or a pill with somebody that has a great reputation and with whom you have every reason to trust does not imply sexual consent. Even if you didn't know to trust them one does not equal the other.

"I'd give even money that he's going to walk."

Almost a certainty. Famous people always get off.

I understand the difficulty with the case/s. That's why a big reason women don't come forward.

Of course there are rotten women out there who lie to but in this case and from a non-trial point of view Cosby is one sick f. Guilty, guilty, guilty.

Not the least of which is that he may well be innocent.

311 "The counter allegation is that they consented to sex. No one consents to rape."

They guy said, by taking a drink/pill they consented. They didn't. They consented to a drink/pill.

Cosby has no choice but to say it was consensual.

314 304 "Can you at least wait for the full trial before convicting the man? "

Why? You've already called him an innocent conservative icon, a saint and the women - all 100 of them - are sluts who regret their time with the perfect black man who parrots one conservative line about fatherhood.

Fair is fair.

Posted by: The Media Suxs at June 07, 2017 08:12 PM (0Ka6n)

Wew! You hate fathers and men. Subhumans we are. Conservative view about fathers, you say this like its a bad thing. Voluntarily taking drugs and alcohol with a man with the implications that sex is available later and was available to a man you are not married to or in a long term committed relationship is the very definition of slutty behavior.

There is plenty of reasonable doubt, which is what I'm going by. You have already convicted the man. Unreal.

You really view men and fathers as subhuman trash. Nice Ghetto attitude you have.

They are claiming he raped them years and decades after the fact. They are adults and not children. This is above and beyond insane SJW mindset. There are several places for reasonable doubt.

And I'm sure there is zero collusion between the women.

Oh off fucks sake. you are really reaching to climb out of the hole you dug yourself. My comment was a clear implication that there was consent because of the years and decades between the incident and because they voluntarily took recreational drugs and alcohol with the man. You know when you go back to party with a man that sex is 100% a given.

Sounds like they all have a case of regret decades and years later.

You will not address the Mike Tyson example. The victim immediately pressed charges. Mike Tysom was 100 times more intimidating and more valuable than Cosby.

No taking a drug and alcohol willingly does not mean you consent. But changing your consent to a non consent years and decades later with SJW standards of law on the books does not mean at the time that they did not consent.

This never should have gone to court. Two Words: Mike Tyson.

318 I will point out that there are decades worth of studies that show a very large percentage of women fantasize about very rough dominant sex all the way to rape fantasies.

no you cannot consent to rape, which I assumed was a given. It is convient as hell for the women to come out years and decades later saying the knowingly got drunk and did drugs with Cosby so therefore it was rape because logically they were impaired. This is the argument on college campuses. God help us if Cosby is found guilty based on this and the fact they regret it so rape.

Found guilty or not, his life is destroyed. But this pleases the feminists and white knights. They already have their scalp.

320 "Wew! You hate fathers and men. Subhumans we are."

Not at all. I've had great experiences with men and have a great father.

Didn't grow up in a ghetto, never been drugged, or raped either.

I apparently have a higher opinion of men than you do.

"Conservative view about fathers, you say this like its a bad thing."

No. Not a bad thing. You are the one who is trying to turning Cosby, the hardcore leftist into a conservative icon because he spoke about fatherhood. Big deal. He's a Democrat and just because you've adopted him doesn't make him a conservative.

"Voluntarily taking drugs and alcohol with a man with the implications that sex is available later"

Uh, he met a whole bunch of them under the guise of it being work related.

"and was available to a man you are not married to or in a long term committed relationship is the very definition of slutty behavior."

Really? Available to him? Meeting and trusting America's father, Mr. Jello, Mr. NBC nice guy is slutty behavior.

Guess they got what they deserved, huh?

You have Taliban ideas about women and men.

321 " I will point out that there are decades worth of studies that show a very large percentage of women fantasize about very rough dominant sex all the way to rape fantasies."

Cosby is accused of drugging women and raping them and you turn it into your perception of women wanting rough sex?

I'm outta here. You are really creepy.

So by your logic, I've volutarily gotten drunk with women in the past, and they made advances towards me and we had sex. I woke up and can say many times that I would not have had sex with those women if I was sober.

Can I go back and charge them with rape?

Also can I charge you with rape for putting words in my mouth without my consent?
