The lawsuit has cost the newspaper so much it might close.

The article points out that this republican politician and businessman, Cory Tomczyk, is suing a non-profit news site for reporting on his use of the slur towards a 13 year old boy. Although he lost his suit, he is appealing the decision. This suit has already cost the news site $150k.

How do these lawsuits not fall under SLAPP laws?

    I didn’t read the article, I don’t know where this took place, I don’t know anything about any of the people involved, but I do know this does not seem out of the ordinary at all and I am not surprised in the least.
