The underground press
This one is both funny and sad, and I can't tell which it is more. In a civil lawsuit in Multnomah County, the defendant recently argued that the case should be moved to a distant county because a jury here would be prejudiced by a story in the Oregonian. The plaintiff countered that the jury couldn't be prejudiced because the story was behind the O's paywall, posted on a Saturday, no less, and so hardly anybody read it.
The judge sided with the plaintiff.

The platform used for this blog is awfully wonky when it comes to comments. It may work for you, it may not. It's a Google thing, and beyond my control. Apologies if you can't get through. You can email me a comment at jackbogsblog@comcast.net, and if it's appropriate, I can post it here for you.
