No, it is not doomed:

By the likes of The Week, Salon, and Politico in quick succession, we are said to be in “deep trouble,” likely “doomed,” facing a “wipe out.”

This is in part a tale of lazy reporting and even headline cribbing.

None of the writers of these articles ever called National Review. They didn’t ask what our chances in court were, or even bother to get basic facts about the case right. Damon Linker of The Week, the one who got this meme rolling, made rudimentary mistakes without trying to check them, and then lectured us about journalistic standards.

You’d think people who write about media and the law would know, instinctively, to consider this factor: libel insurance.

You’d think that, until you realize that they’re leftist hacks, and idiots.
