Agreed. Most times even the winner does not come out unscathed. I see De Niro has just lost a case with a lot of muck raking he might have been better advised to have settled.

My friend who told me this worked for the Mail, who are restricted just as everyone is. This isn’t about the way newspapers spin stories, decide not to publish some, publish only parts of others or cover issues thought inconsequential by others. How do you know that?

Edited by beak (10 Nov 2023 10.45am) Thanks for the laugh from your lofty position there. The two parties are the plaintiff(s) and the defendant(s). Any payments following judgement are known as general damages. Please don't chime in when the adults are talking * bold highlight indicates nonsense
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

My friend was not an “important” journalist. He was a sub editor who rewrote raw copy to fit the space allocated and was in the approved style. He had worked in the industry since Uni, so knew what happened.

Journalists who worked for the Daily Mirror and had stories about Robert Maxwell would regularly pass them on to colleagues at other newspapers or to Private Eye. If anyone at the Daily Mail (for example) had a good story that the paper refused to publish they could always pass it on to the Guardian. Mostly journalists complain because the editor or the lawyers will tell them that rumour is not enough.

Especially in places which need to stay profitable to survive and aren’t funded by a politically motivated billionaire.
