So like, for instance, the corrections always referred to things that had never actually been in the newspaper. Most of the bylines were of fake people describing fake adventures. And in one passage, Mark described something that it didn't happen. It's a massive exaggeration of something. And so all the people who were involved were eventually contacted at that time. They recanted.

There were corrections at the time. I was in litigation with some newspapers at the time. That's all been done and finished. And nobody's ever accused me of sexual harassment here or in Russia.

None of that stuff. I'm one of those people who goes straight home from work, doesn't socialize, nothing. But I knew in the hearing, as soon as she said that, I thought about the speech and debate clause, and I realized that she's allowed to say that.

And then on the way home, I saw that she was retweeting this, I think in an effort to try to get a rise out of me because she said something along the lines of, you know, my silence in the hearing was telling. But I think that the privilege is penetrated once you go outside Congress and start retweeting on X and blue sky.

And I'd had enough at that point, uh, of this thing, this thing did major damage to my life and career. And it's not true. And so, uh, you know, for her to drag this up seven years later, it's, I, I just, I just ran out of patience.

Well, I probably can't get into that publicly, but what I will say is that there was a lot of positive response about this. And part of that was from other journalists because, you know, I don't know if you agree with this, but I think there's been kind of a laissez-faire attitude toward outright libel in the last eight, nine years. People just say such crazy things online.

And there's this attitude that we don't have to back it up. We don't have to make notations when we make corrections. We don't have to leave it on the page to tell people that we made a mistake before. We can say what we want and get away with it. Most people won't sue. And I think you have to because that's the argument for not censoring is that this other system actually works.
