Oh my! When he gets his tv show at FNN, Sun's legal department must be buckling down for no vacation leave. I can see sick leave going up though.
So, would you hire a serial drunk driver to be a chauffeur? Would you hire a convicted child molester to work at your daycare?
So do you think various media outlets - including the CBC and the Natty Po - will continue to hire someone convicted of libel in this case and very nearly sued by Soros in others?
Everyone knows Ezra is a jackass. The real issue are the news outlets that continue to give him a paid soapbox to spread his nonsense.
That... IS Bloody Fantastic!! - Shame it's only $25,000
I wish Levant would libel *me*.
That is Fan-bloody-tastic!!!!
Too bad it's only $25,000
That's a fantastic read! If all judgements were that clear...
What'll happen next, I wonder....
Watch the Paypal Buttons blossom like teenage acne...
Pages 20 and 21 of "Whoops!" are especially fun, and the last few pages. Page 17 is missing.
So can we call him Ezra the Libeller now?
The Blogging Tories are awfully quiet on this one...
It is a very enjoyable document. My overwhelming impression of Levant after reading this judgment is that he is an extraordinary petty and nasty person. I mean, really, as is said in the judgment, he waited 11 months after the fact to make a series of nasty allegations against Vigna. With the claim of evidence-switching, could he not have simply rephrased matters a bit? Could he not phrased his complaint as an expression of concern? Or perhaps have chosen against finding one unfortunate person to be the butt of his mockery? Could he have shown some decency? I mean really, even in the places where the judge rules that Levant's statements were protected by the doctrine of fair comment (for instance, in Q), he also makes clear that Levant is being defamatory and really pretty nasty.
I think perhaps we should refer to him as Ezra "reckless regard for the truth" Levant. Or Ezra "reads out of context" Levant. I mean, this should really have him kicked off every media outlet in the country.
I also note the judge's statement that Levant as a lawyer either knew or should have known that he was seriously harming Vigna's professional reputation. I thus think it a matter of fair comment to ask whether Levant should be considered an idiot ("should have known") or a thug ("knew"). It is really one or the other, if not both.
It is true that justice moves sometimes at glacial speed. It is equally true that from time to time justice will prevail.
Ezra levant is every bully our parents ever warned us about. menacing, bombastic, out of control and a person who fidlles with fibs. I give Giacomo Vigna credit. He has done what many others have not; that being he stood up to the bully and beat him fair and square.
I hope this gives hope to the others bullied by Levant, theothers who he has targeted with hi bile, the others who he may have "fibbed" about. Richard warman, Margaret Atwood, Warren Kinsella, Marci MacDonald, Bernie farber, eevn Dawg. Bullies must be confronted. We all owe Vigna a huge debt of gratitude.
The big question is: Why does the 'leftist' media keep paying his salary? Or: Why is he not being eviscerated in the 'leftist' mainstream meadia? One potential overriding reason might be that he is a clown and a totally irrelevant, self-centered, attention getter. A non-issue as it were and a complete embarrassment lacking any true insight into his own motives. Years of psychoanalysis may help the poor boy, but when you are that far gone I sincerely doubt it.
