Although the judge has ruled that the National Post must remove the original offending columns, that order comes over five years after the columns went live (as of this writing, they are still available). In that time, they have been republished elsewhere and quoted extensively in countless blogs. While the judge ordered the National Post to "expressly withdraw any consent given to third parties to re-publish the defamatory expression and to require these third parties to cease re-publication," there's no way to enforce this order.

Thus, the decision does little to re-establish Weaver's reputation, and it can't prevent him from being disparaged at any of the sites that chose to repost the original pieces.

Tainted food for the unwashed Bloggers.

I also found it telling that Fiddledog responded to the Brian Williams story with distain, but this another story about how the media isn't trustworthy somehow doesn't grab the same attention because of two little words . . ."Climate Scientist".

Pavlov much?

Ad Hominem much?

But I forgot, it's not ad hominem when you do it, just when I do it, right? So you call me hypocrite, that's insightful. When I call you hypocrite it's ad hominem.

Prog logic, gotta love it.

BTW my critique here is based on the idea I don't trust the source of the liar claim -
neither the website, nor the, most likely, Progressive judge. Liars like to call people liars too, just as hypocrites like to call other people hypocrites. Neither was the case with Williams. Even his own people are embarrassed for his obvious exaggerations of self-proclaimed magnificence. He's Ted Baxter.

You guys just don't understand why you're funny, and that's kind of funny.

'Ad Hominem' was defined 3000 years ago by Aristotle. Look it up some time.

Haters gonna hate though.

Critique? I must have missed where you said it's OK to tarnish a man's reputation, just because he's a climate scientist.

What's sad is that you may actually believe your own .
