[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can Justin refile or do anything further with his NYTimes lawsuit? Meghan Twohey needs to be punished for what she did. [/quote]

NAG is pretty clear that she thinks at least there should be a very high bar for suing journalists for reporting so she doesn’t necessarily disagree with what happened. But she did mention ethical standards.

It is interesting to me, though, if a judge or jury rules, there was no smear  campaign, then New York Times still has this article inside a Hollywood smear campaign - if legally there is not one, would they retract the article or put out a clarification?

Interestingly, when they first put out the article, it was not behind a paywall and you could go to the CRD complaint too. Now that it is all locked up so it’s only for subscribers.[/quote]

There should be a high bar for suing journalists, but Meghan was absolutely sloppy in her reporting. She claimed she went through troves of thousands of documents, she made allegations like "this is what really happened," and her reporting in the Instagram video (which I thought would have helped Justin's case) was worse and flat-out got things wrong. She also made allegations like this: "The effort to tarnish Ms. Lively appears to have paid off. Within days of the film’s release, the negative media coverage and commentary became an unusually high percentage of her online presence, according to a forensic review she sought from a brand marketing consultant."

This is why it really sucks that his case against the Times was dismissed.

New York Times is never issuing a retraction or putting out a clarification if they don't have to. Smear campaign is not a legal term, and I can't see Meghan Twohey and NYTmes admitting fault. Even though Blake won't have been able to prove a smear campaign, you can't necessarily disprove one either, even though it's obvious that Blake's downfall was her own doing.[/quote]

That makes sense.

It’s interesting to read the Sony executives email. This the president of Sony, conversing with the CEO of Sony and I believe a chief comms person, conversing about Blake. That’s the email where they call her “epic level stupid” and say she destroyed her own career. 
 
They weren’t responding to or influenced by bots. They were specifically mentioning things that she did, like launching and marketing her hair products in conjunction with the movie. Nobody made her do that. Any good PR person would have stopped her from doing that. Blake and Ryan just think they are smarter than everybody else. [/quote]
