NY District Judge Dismisses Blogger Suit Against Huffington Post
The Chicago Tribute reports on a ruling announced Friday that the Huffington Post violated no law in profiting enormously from the unpaid contributions of bloggers who wrote much of the content that has spurred the site's success. Says the article: "John E. Koeltel, a district court judge in New York, dismissed a class action sought brought against the Huffington Post by unpaid bloggers seeking $105 million from AOL and Arianna Huffington's media empire. The bloggers argued that though they initially agreed to do the work for free, the Huffington Post was 'unjustly enriched as a result of this practice,' violating New York state law. Koeltel disagreed. 'There is no question that the plaintiffs submitted their materials to The Huffington Post with no expectation of monetary compensation and that they got what they paid for -- exposure in The Huffington Post,' Koeltel wrote."
Your bashing Fox News after this last week?
In this week the Supreme Court had its hearings on Obamacare and Chris Mathews said "It never even occurred to me that the bill could possibly be unconstitutional". A woman on CBS said she thought it had to constitutional because Obama was a Constitutional law professor at Harvard and she was shocked that there was a valid argument against it. On and on from just about every news source this came.
Its amazing how Fox was able to explain what the challenge was and what the arguments against the bill were, but NO OTHER major media outlet even considered that there might be a reason to argue against the bill. And after all that YOU come and tell us how Murdoch's news outlet is biased? It is the ONLY news source that wasn't biased on this issue.
