Probably my favorite political cartoonist. He was attacked by the media over "anti-semitism" because he depicted Soros and the Rothschilds as puppet masters. I hope he wins.

Dude, seriously? Are we being brigaded by Reddit now?
Almost definitely. Those frustrated bed-wetters have zero power here except to waste a mod's time for 2 seconds.
someone wrote an opinion piece that he was anti-semetic then all the other news agencies wrote about it citing the opinion piece. Then the ADL put him on their "list". It even made its way into his Wiki page.
He is right to sue them
So. Let me get this straight. They doctored a cartoon by Garrison to look like it's anti-semitic and used that doctored cartoon to call him anti-semitic.
I mean, I am not in the US but this hits all the sweet spots, doesn't it? Knowingly, public and with malicous intent. There's no way they can weasel out of this, is there?
He has to show damages. He needs to disprove White Fragility to a court. You'd be better off trying to convince Heydrich to save the jews.
I think fortunately for him, there is a notable and long history of editted comics from him around this topic. It was a huge trend on 4chan for a while. Enough so that his name is more associated with the fake ones than the real ones.
Which makes the damages much more visible and possible to prove.
I knew I forgot something.
He doesn't need to disprove white fragility to prove damages here, but I suspect you're being hyperbolic. Question for you regarding American law - damages are an element to defamation? I thought you prove liability (through its elements) then you prove damages afterward, meaning that a successful defamation claim worth $0 in damages was still possible.
IANAL The court needs to have a remedy. If there are no damages, what are you doing in court? What do you expect the court to do? The judge will probably ask those question point blank if you can't show why you are injured.
My point about WF is that he needs to dissuade the judge from thinking that this the appropriate way for society to function.
Maybe. They can maybe distract from the ridiculous additions they made to the original like "RETARDED GOYIM". I'm sure they will bring up many more "examples" that criticize Soros and others and claim it's all anti-semitism.
Ben 'The Walking Holocaust' Garrison?
Ben 'The One Man Auschwitz' Garison?
Ben 'Six Million More' Garrison?
Jokes aside, it's pretty pathetic that it literally impossible to criticize any Jewish billionaire financier in any way without being called an anti-semite.
