Have you ever paid an attorney a retainer? They absolutely use it for every phone call and email pertaining to anything with a case. A retainer is just a down payment. And they draw from it. They don’t work for free.
Even if they DIDN’T have a fixed amount set aside for making frivolous lawsuits go away (again, a publication the size of Forbes definitely do), the cost of having the lawyers draw up paperwork saying “fuck off, you don’t have a case”, only more professionally, is trivial to Forbes.
You can keep yammering on about how not saying “alleged” about a legal certainty would have them sued to bankruptcy all you want but that doesn’t change the fact that it just isn’t true.
And my point is and has always been that any tiny advantage of misleading their readers like this is multifold overshadowed by the many negative consequences.
That’s not how I read what you wrote. You say several times it will “get thrown out of court” like some TV court drama. It still costs money to have that much pull to have the right people know how to throw cases out of court. There are procedures that need to be followed or you look like you don’t know anything about law. And the judge with consider it a folly on either side.

That’s just a faster way to say “any judge would approve a motion to dismiss immediately” and as I mentioned before, such a motion is completely routine for their in house counsel.

Not anywhere near as much money as you seem to think. Any lawyer worth his salt knows how to draw up a valid motion to dismiss.

Yes, it’s called a motion to dismiss. It’s one document that everyone with a JD has written many of.
And the judge with consider it a folly on either side.
No, the doctor will not consider filing a motion to dismiss a patently ridiculous case “folly on both sides”.
You were wrong. It happens to all of us sometimes.
Now please give it a rest and stop making a Supreme Court case out of what would be a summarily dismissed nuisance suit.
Yes, an absolutely negligible amount that they already pay often to other people who try to hit them with nonsense lawsuits. It’s not anywhere near enough to be worth their journalistic integrity.

And it would still cost Money!

Now give it a rest and leave me alone.
