A blogger has been fined 1.8 million dollars for defamation.  It’s about time, too. You can read about it in this article.

“The head of a local advertising agency has won $1.8 million in damages after suing an author of a blog – known for its harsh and sometimes crass criticism of elected officials, business leaders and local media – for defamation.”
