From David Halberstam’s THE POWERS THAT BE: …”But Graham believed otherwise, he thought if he gar readers what they had come to expect, the comic strips, the sports coverage—he thought the sports coverage was crucial in a situation like this he could hold a surprisingly large part of the Times-Herald circulation.

To a layperson, this next part may seem confusing: Asher has a fairly persuasive case that Oliver knowingly lied about him to the press. But California, where he lives, is home to an anti-SLAPP statute—which allows accused parties to shut down defamation lawsuits if they can persuade a court that the lawsuit was intended to punish them for speaking out on a matter of public interest. (The acronym stands for “strategic lawsuits against public participation.”) For a public figure, which Asher was, this already makes defamation suits very difficult to win; for a public figure accused of sexual misconduct at the peak of #MeToo, it was simply never going to happen. In May 2019, the court found in favor of SCBWI and struck the complaint. Two years later, in July 2021, he lost his appeal.

Text of survey question: Stephen Martin-Pinto was previously registered as a Republican and supported Donald Trump in 2020. His solution to homelessness is to conduct police "sweeps" of RV and tent encampments. His conservative values are out of step with our community. Does that statement make you more or less likely to vote for Stephen Martin-Pinto?
