Topic	Johnny Depp loses libel case against newspaper that called him a wife beater.
UnfairRepresent 11/03/20 7:06:33 AM #23:	WesternMedia posted... Judge apparently doesn't think that. The decision is not an indication of the quality of the journal The decision is that it wasn't a libellous claim. "I'm not a wifebeater, sure we beat each other and I threw a phone at her face but she's a bitch and did way worse than me" might convince people at the bar but in a civil libel suit? The claim needs to be flat out falsehood not "It was misleading and unfair" otherwise every media outlet is fucked If they called him a pedophile or said he murdered some dude called Pete in 1997. That's libel. The judge probably made the correct legal call and The Sun still sucks . Its not an either/or thing --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:946650019] in Johnny Dep...
