Kurt Eichenwald vs. Jesse Watters & Fox Neus

http://www.rawstory.com/2018/01/i-wont-be-the-next-george-tiller-writer-eichenwald-rips-fox-host-over-slanderous-report-leading-to-death-threats/

I read this article and am wondering if there will (finally) be push back against right-wing media attacks on people/entities they deem enemies. The article describes actions that Eichenwald has been taking that have the uncanny feel of laying the legal groundwork (aka "paper trail&quot

for a significant lawsuit with major media impact.

Any thoughts, or am I letting my battered hopes get the best of me?

Watters say? I (obviously) never watch his show. When he says something that is slanderous, the victim should fight back--but I'm sure interested to know what it was.

I gather that there have been several exchanges and that Eichenwald apparently was hurt by a Fox viewer last year.

I can't remember which segment--sorry. He has been harassed on air by Tucker Carlson and has been the victim of a long line of attacks including death threats to him and his family. Many are anti-Semitic because his last name sounds Jewish. Nice. Eichenwald has posted much of what has been happening to him and his family on Twitter.

It sure sounds like there will be a major lawsuit.
