“Plus, he gave interviews defending himself, said Beck’s legal team, led by Michael J. Grygiel.”
So I accuse Beck of being a child raping, murderer and if he dares to defend himself publicly from those allegations…he is guilty. Got it.

Garbage from Beck and now weasel words from the lawyers.
I guess he stands a chance with the Supreme Court: Fox news won a suit claiming it was not required to report the truth because it was an entertainment shop not fact based. I am sure this will go all the way.

Not that it will matter. Beck has insurance for these type of things, so he will suffer nothing from losing the suit. In fact, it will simply give him another topic to rant about for a few weeks…how unfair the justice system is to people like him.

He thrust himself into the limelight be being injured and brown? That’s their defense?
In the beginning it might have been understable to question who he was, even if responsible journalists wouldn’t have jumped the gun like Beck. But to keep it up AFTER he was cleared was absolute B.S.

Either the judge buys this lame defense, in which case Beck easily wins because proving malice is nearly impossible, as the article indicates. Or the judge laughs this defense out of the court room and Alharbi walks away with a very nice cash reward.
I don’t see any constitutional issues arising that would need the SCOTUS to weigh in.

an “involuntary” public figure
Autonomic fame???

Indeed. See how that works? Beck makes him an “involuntary” public figure through his own rants, thus relieving him of any legal responsibilities for the next words out of his mouth.
BECK: This is this guy, Alharbi…
BECK: Now that I mentioned him publicly, he is a public figure so I can make up shit and go after him willy nilly
Which I suspect, is exactly how Alharbi’s attorneys will argue. That Beck himself is responsible for making him a public figure (or at least played a significant role) so that argument holds no water. Indeed, they may even expand upon that and argue that Beck did so with the intent of malice.

Don’t be so sure. (E&O) Errors and Omissions policies may not apply. It’s not automatic coverage that encourages moral hazard

But he is, isn’t he?
I don’t know about “so he will suffer nothing from losing the suit”. His insurance general liability policy might not cover this act? Beck showed a reckless disregard as to whether his statements were true or false.
“Coverage B applies to intentional acts that result in unintentional injury. It does not cover injury that you inflict on someone deliberately.”

By the way, have we heard any new developments on that girl Glenn Beck raped and murdered in the 90s? He still hasn’t denied it. We know, however, that the murder victim wasn’t pregnant. Do you Glenn Beck would ever murder a woman who is sustaining an unborn child? What kind of murderer do you take him for? A child-murderer? Because that is not an accurate description of the type of murderer Glenn Beck is!
See how that works, Glenn-DUH? Just makes ya’ look bad, huh? Doesn’t feel good, huh?
~Meh!~

Taking personal responsibility:
Beck to Alharbi: Man, I really screwed up and I’m sorry. You and I need to talk about what I can do to compensate for the harm I caused you.
Beck to lawyers: Go home. You’re done here.

The suit is in a Federal Court in Boston. Beck should worry. The judges there are educated. Not Liberty U. grads.

Hope Glenn-DUH Beck will soon be selling a LOT of his gold to cover his expenses and pay damages to his victim.

So, the argument Glenn Beck is making is that because his claim got so much attention, that makes him an “involuntary public figure”, and he cannot sue for defamation because the claim he is suing about got too much attention. Do I have that right?

Hope his little Mercury Radio Theater of the Air will come crashing down. Or maybe I should say, go up in a Blaze!

Beck has been morally bankrupt for decades now…so adding some financial bankruptcy will be a change of pace. And it would be pretty sweet!

Reckless calling him the “money man” without evidence should result in the nice cash award. If that happens I am willing to bet the appeal goes all the way to the high court, the best court for a corporate person.
