How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- concluding that “the incremental harm doctrine is not an element of California libel law,” in part, “because the California courts have never adopted it”
- explaining that the New Yorker's “sterling reputation for accuracy and the existence of its fabled fact-checking department” makes it less plausible that re-publishers of New Yorker articles act with actual malice
- “Herbert noted that the theory was ‘novel,’ and that it was first applied in Simmons. Simmons, in turn, seemed to ground the doctrine in the First Amendment”
