The same legal standards that apply to libel apply to false light. The distinction between false light and libel is that in false light claims one need not prove injury or damage to reputation, but only that the statement was highly offensive. Courts in some states have refused to recognize false light claims because of their similarity to libel.

There was no one in the campaign talking about her, it all came from this hoaxer.

Carl Cameron needs to go public with what he shared with greta – he blew it. He got the story out there, he needs to come forward and apologize to Sarah Palin – who btw doesn’t need to defend herself from a hoaxer.

Sarah Palin’s people need to turn it around and put it on Carl Cameron and all the news people who continue to report it.

Who the hell is this guy?????

This Eisenstadt guy also has a fake BBC documentary segment up where he’s being interviewed and tries to solicit sex from the female BBC reporter. LOL

LMAO. We need more of this. What better way to emphasize what an utterly horses**t fraud the mainstream media are. God bless whoever is running this Eisenstadt schtick. It’s both hilarious and very instructive.

That’s been the left-wing blogger obsession all day. It started with a post from GOP blogger Martin Eisenstadt, who says that Joe Wurzelbacher the Plumber is a “close relative” of Robert Wurzelbacher, who is the son-in-law of Charles Keating. Robert Wurzelbacher served time for his role in the Keating 5 S&L scandal, gave a lot of money to Republicans, and is retired in Cincinnati. There is still no clear indication how exactly they are related and what “close” means.

The funniest thing is that when you go to the hoaxster’s website, it doesn’t take long at all to realize something’s up. Look at the other posts. It smells like Onion.

I think there needs to be more hoaxters out there so it is easier for horrible journalism in the MSM and at BSNBC to be revealed.

When I was a kid, I used to trust the media, but by the time I was a senior in high school, and had seen reporting on events I was actually at, and half of the “facts” of the story were simply incorrect, I started noticing all the poor journalism throughout the media.

If the media admitted their mistakes it would be just real funny , but they just pick up all shit they can find and throw it on their victim . Censoring any wrongdoings.
When the media brakes down on this scale it’s a direct threat to the open democracy.

This is analog to the “moral hazard” at wall street.

LMAO

Shuster is the absolutely worst person to be fooled by a hoax. He has this holier-than-thou attitude about him.

Way to go RNC dude for appearing on TV and not checking out if this guy worked for McCain.

If Shuster is an idiot, Cameron and O’Reilly are morons, they broke the story.
