   Looks like it’s time for some new litigation.

   I called Blois Olson to get his perspective on the Summary Judgement issued by the court in his libel suit against Michael Brodkorb of Minnesota Democrats Exposed. John Wodele responded on Blois’ behalf.

   Mr. Wodele said, ” Blois noted that the Judge did not rule on who was right or who was wrong in this matter. The decision is such that Blois’ professional reputation remains intact.”

   “The judge approached this case as if it was a libel or defamation case under journalistic conventions of sound practice. By citing New York Times vs. Sullivan the court applied a standard of law that encourages bloggers to ascribe to legitimate journalistic standards.” said Wodele.

   He further commented that Michael Brodkorb is indeed setting a standard of practice for bloggers. Reporters inquiring about the case commented that they were happy to see the case filed as a mechanism to create new standards.

   Thanks for the call back John!
