OJ Simpson confesses to Oprah

I'd be a lot more interested if there were a source other than the daily Fail.

Ok, only a little more interested.
 
A much more exciting story would be that Oprah was interviewing OJ on her show, he slipped up and admitted to the murders, then jumped on the sofa and attacked Oprah like Tom Cruise did. Then Oprah would put on her Ring of Power and smite him to molecules with her unholy might. All praise the Oprah! The Oprah is life! The Oprah is all! Ia! Ia! Oprah fhtagn!
 
A good rule of thumb for the daily fail:

If they are the only source: It's a lie
If there are multiple sources: They've exaggerated it and/or claim it causes/cures cancer
 
Also the headline rarely has much to do with their actual sourced content, if they bother to provide a source.

Not that I give a crap about OJ, but how is this not libelous (on the part of the National Enquirer who apparently invented the story)?

How do you know its not?

However I think it is pretty unlikely that OJ is going to make a complaint of libel about it. After all he would need to demonstrate it was defamatory and of course there is a truth defense. Presumably (and IINAL) to the civil rather than criminal standard of proof.

Oprah's producers might also have a complaint since it makes it look like they were claiming to have done something they didn't actually do. They could claim that it made them look foolish.

Not really. Sue in british courts.
 
It might be!

I remember when the National Enquirer leaked the plot of Star Trek V.

My reaction when reading the article:

:roll:

My reaction when seeing the movie:

:jaw-dropp

I'd be a lot more interested if - well no actually I can't think of a way.

I take that back. Push him off a cliff and I'm interested. The world would be a better place. Heck toss Oprah while you're at it.
