The great thing about this kind of litigation, from the plaintiff's perspective, is that they don't have to win legally in order to win politically: they force the defendant to spend a bunch of money; they put every other media organization on notice that they'd better not say anything that might offend the plaintiff, lest they too be forced to spend a bunch of money; and they get to moan to their marks, er, supporters about how the system is rigged against them.
