Eriq Gardner, of the
Hollywood Reporter, interviewed Michael Novicoff, a partner at Liner Grode Stein, who said that Fox News has
more than one legitimate claim related to Gawker's payments to a Fox "mole" and subsequent leaks from behind Fox News' curtain, but that the right-wing network would be smarter to walk away from the situation.
"It's always awkward for a news organization to take the position that
information or opinions shouldn't be shared," he says. "Also, if Fox decided to
sue, they would have to explain how and in what amount they suffered financial
harm from this employee's conduct; that's never easy, and it might require Fox
to publicly reveal some information about its marketing, viewership and revenues
that it might prefer to keep to itself."
