Bezos, I Can't Wait to Hear Your Attorneys Argue the Press Had No Duty to Warn THESE MORONS. LOL
And They LOOKED Like Intelligent Persons. Past Tense. LOL
Democracy Dies in Darkness
1. Paragraphs 1 to 7 are incorporated by reference.
2. “[P]ursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 201, courts may take judicial notice of ‘‘matters of public record,’’ but not of facts that may be ‘‘subject to reasonable dispute’’,” U.S. v. Corinthian Colleges, 655 F.3d 984 (9th Cir. 2011) (citing Lee v. City of Los Angeles, 250 F.3d 668 (9th Cir. 2001)), and the “world will little not nor long remember”, Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863, but a total of 23,769 deaths have been attributed to a novel coronavirus in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Staff, “See the Numbers: COVID-19 Dashboard: COVID-19 Severity Indicator (past 6 months),” VDH, to date, https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/coronavirus/see-the-numbers/covid-19-in-virginia/ (accessed April 28, 2024),Verified Complaint, ¶ 11, p. 33.
3. Beard Plumbing Heating v. Thompson Plastics, 254 Va. 240 (Va. 1997), treating exclusively an implied warranty of merchantability, had considered the issue as to “whether § 8.2-715 (2)[1] requires the existence of a contract for the recovery of economic loss damages in breach of warranty cases”, and had held “that § 8.2-715(2)(a) requires a contract between the parties for the recovery of consequential economic loss damages incurred as a result of a breach of warranty by the seller.”
4. “[T]he Court of Appeals nevertheless concluded that its own precedent and Virginia case law, particularly Blake Construction Co. v. Alley, 233 Va. 31. . . (1987), and Sensenbrenner v. Rust, Orling Neale, Architects, Inc., 236 Va. 419. . . (1988), ‘strongly supports the conclusion that § 8.2-318[2] has not abrogated the privity requirement in negligence actions seeking recovery for economic loss’”, and it has been determined that “[a]pplying the rule of statutory construction. . . , the limited contract requirement of § 8.2-715(2) prevails over the general provisions relating to common law privity in § 8.2-318.” Beard Plumbing Heating v. Thompson Plastics, 254 Va. at 240.
5. Nonetheless, in the Commonwealth, for all business entities, such as the Newspaper Respondents, “[e]xpress warranties by the seller are created” upon “[a]ny affirmation of fact or promise made by the seller to the buyer which relates to the goods and becomes part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the goods shall conform to the affirmation or promise”, Va. Code § 8.2-313(1)(a), creating a duty, the breach of which results in damages accruing to a plaintiff.
6. Express warranties may similarly arise from “[a]ny description of the goods”, that such “shall conform to the description”, Va. Code § 8.2-313(1)(b), and “[i]t is not necessary to the creation of an express warranty that the seller use formal words such as ‘warrant’ or ‘guarantee’ or that he have a specific intention to make a warranty, but an affirmation merely of the value of the goods or a statement purporting to be merely the seller’s opinion or commendation of the goods does not create a warranty.” Va. Code § 8.2-313(2) (emphasis added).
7. As averred in the Affidavit in Support of Verified Complaint, ¶ 127, p. 36, in express warranty or promise, Respondent Washington Post had proffered a reasonable expectation that, “[i]n 1963 the late Philip L. Graham, then the publisher of The Post and the newly acquired Newsweek magazine, gave a speech in which he described the ‘daily and the weekly grist of journalism’ as providing what he called a ‘first rough draft’ of history”, Michael Getler , “The ‘First Rough Draft’,” Washington Post, May 25, 2002.
8. Moreover, “Virginia never lacks for drama in its congressional races,” Megan Flynn, “Five takeaways from Virginia’s primary election results,” Washington Post, June 19, 2024, apparently providing a vast reservoir for newsworthy comment, and, under the promotional banner, “Democracy Dies in Darkness”, Respondent Washington Post provides news content related to not only Virginia generally, but also covering the local politics. See, e.g., Teo Armus, “Incumbents, school board reps declare victory in Alexandria council primary,” Washington Post, June 19, 2024; Teo Armus, “JD Spain Sr. wins Arlington County Board Democratic primary,” Washington Post, June 21, 2024.
9. As alleged in Verified Complaint, ¶ 139, p. 39, Respondent Washington Post has, in the past, noted how, “[i]n Arlington, Democrats hold almost all levers of power”, and “[t]he voters there are so solidly blue that they are among the Northern Virginians who usually provide the margin of victory for Democrats who win statewide.” Patricia Sullivan, “Arlington County Democrats continue to dominate region’s politics,” Washington Post, November 7, 2017.
10. “It is not necessary to the creation of an express warranty that the seller use formal words such as ‘warrant’ or ‘guarantee’ or [even] that he have a specific intention to make a warranty,” Va. Code § 8.2-313(2), and, a reasonable trier of fact might conclude that Respondent Washington Post promises at least to its readers and viewers, inclusive of Petitioner, a product conforming to the general description of newsworthy content on stories related to Virginia, including politically newsworthy content, while a reasonable trier of fact might conclude that the offeror extends to the general public, inclusive of Petitioner, the offerees, a reasonable expectation that that which is of significant public interest will be found on their pages in print edition, as well as online.
11. According to Respondent ARL Now, Petitioner has “floated around the periphery of the Northern Virginia political scene for nearly the past decade”, Scott Brodbeck, “Morning Notes: Candidate Adds Military Rank to His Name,” ARLnow, June 10, 2021; see also Affidavit in Support of Verified Complaint, ¶ 41, p. 12, albeit, apparently “not a serious option”, Scott McCaffery, “Sun Gazette endorsement: Mary Kadera for Arlington School Board,” Arlington Sun Gazette/Inside NOVA, September 23, 2021, and in a congressional district where it has been observed that “[b]ookies probably wouldn’t even lay odds on the chance of Republicans picking up the 8th Congressional District seat, it seems so out of reach.” Scott McCaffery, “GOP challengers to Beyer hope to gain traction,” Arlington Sun Gazette/Inside NOVA, January 29, 2016. See also Ibid.
12. Respondent Washington Post had found it newsworthy to cover a story, when an open seat “on the Arlington School Board, a five-member body that helps oversee the public school system of roughly 23,000 students in Northern Virginia” had found “[t]wo candidates, Mary B. Kadera and Major Mike Webb. . . competing for the seat”, a story in which Respondent Washington Post had issued the claim that “Webb, who legally added Major as his first name, did not reply,” a claim contested by Petitioner regarding a communication in invitation he had never received, with no opportunity availed to present a rebuttal of the claim, nor prompt a revision. Hannah Natanson, “Arlington school board race: Meet the candidates running,” Washington Post, October 22, 2021.
13. Similarly, Respondent Washington Post had found it newsworthy four years prior when, upon an empty seat election, it might be reasonably expected, in an election of democratic choices, that “[a] newcomer will be elected Tuesday to the Arlington School Board”, pitting “Monique O’Grady, who defeated an incumbent in a spring Democratic Party caucus, against Alison Dough and Mike Webb”, while finding it of most significance to inform voters that “Webb drew attention during his run for Congress when he shared an image posted to his Facebook page that included Web browser tabs linking to pornography websites”, which he has consistently claimed from the outset that he had “intentionally posted those browser tabs to attract attention to a post he made on Facebook”, because “’People are going to react to porn tabs’”. Drew Gerber & Debbie Truong, “Arlington to select new school board member,” Washington Post, November 5, 2017.
14. The story attracted only two comments, including one from an anonymous entity described as dc_wolverine, citing https://www.snopes.com/2016/05/17/mike-webb-screenshot/, and offering, “I’d give Webb some creative points for his excuse about the porn tabs if he'd made that statement, on the spot, when he was caught”; however, “[h]e’s had more than a year to come up with a better story than that.” Id.
15. Clearly, there was no “Whatever Happened To” follow-up story, if only in human interest, to report the fact that, Petitioner had been bankrupted and made homeless after his bid for a congressional seat, and still then homeless, while running for office, in his first bid for school board, a fact never mentioned in the press, in a presumptive “editorial discretion”; however, of his notorious bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, Respondent Washington Post had deemed it newsworthy to inform their readers in print, and viewers online that “[t]wo little-known Republicans are vying for their party’s nomination to challenge incumbent U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) in this year’s general election, both facing an uphill climb for name recognition and campaign cash”, Patricia Sullivan, “Republicans vying to challenge Beyer in Northern Virginia congressional race,” Washington Post, April 29, 2016, “[u]pon information and belief, the story regarding his seeking the Republican nomination in 2016 had appeared in the print edition, on the obituary page”. Affidavit in Support of Verified Complaint, ¶ 252, p. 67.
16. One of the alleged “unknowns” in Arlington, “a community in which 96.6% of households have access to a computer, where 93.4% of households are equipped “with a broadband Internet subscription,”, where 94.9% of residents age 25 and above hold at least a high school diploma and 76.3% of that cohort hold at least a baccalaureate degree, Staff, “QuickFacts: Arlington County, Virginia,” U.S. Census, July 1, 2022, see also Affidavit in Support of Verified Complaint, ¶ 409 p. 120, since 2015, a year before seeking a bid for Congress, had had his birthday remembered by the Politico Playbook, see Mike Allen, “A MEATY, CONTENTIOUS CONGRESS AHEAD: GOP wants to send Obama a bill rolling back feds’ role in schools; administration will fight for annual tests, equal access – ‘SUPER MARIO’ – MARLON MARSHALL to 27,” Politico, January 2, 2015[3]; Mike Allen & Daniel Lippman, “POLITICO Playbook, presented by NextGen Climate – HAVING A MOMENT: How Chris Christie could become the establishment’s refuge – 3 ARTICLES TODAY about Jeb try for comeback – DAN PFEIFFER’s 1 click -- HOW MEDIUM is working D.C. -- GRATEFUL DEAD surprise,” Politico, January 2, 2016[4];” Anna Palmer, Jack Sherman & Daniel Lippman, “BREAKING IN PLAYBOOK: SONNY PERDUE is Trump’s leading pick for Ag secy -- TRUMP returns to NYC, holding meetings at TRUMP TOWER -- VOX will interview Barack Obama Jan. 6 -- B’DAY: Mike Zapler,” Politico, January 2, 2017[5]; Jake Sherman, Anna Palmer & Daniel Lippman, “And We’re Back: Washington kicks into gear for bruising January … Advantage Democrats? -- Trump losing ground in Iowa – Scaramucci telling people TRUMP wants him back -- B’day: Mike Zapler,” Politico, January 2, 2018[6]; Jake Sherman, Anna Palmer & Daniel Lippman, “POLITICO Playbook: Welcome back … Shutdown, Day 12,” Politico, January 2, 2019[7]; Jack Sherman & Anna Palmer, “POLITICO Playbook: Why holding the impeachment articles might not matter,” Politico, January 2, 2020[8]; Laura Barrón-López, “Politico Playbook: Trump’s final days by the numbers,” Politico, January 2, 2020[9]; Rachel Bade & Jack Stanton, “POLITICO Playbook: 4 startling polls you should read about Jan. 6,” Politico, January 2, 2022[10], indicative that either a community with a hashtag #ArlingtonReads, or the watchdog eyes of this news content provided had not received that intelligence, viewed in the most favorable light.
17. And, in introduction to the most educated voters in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Respondent Washington Post deigned to inform the electorate that the unknown Petitioner, despite having been identified in local press as the “putative front runner”, Scott McCaffrey, “Republicans pitch themselves as alternatives to Beyer in 8th District,” Arlington Sun Gazette, March 18, 2016[11]; see also Scott Brodbeck, “GOP Congressional Candidate Fails to File FEC Report on Time, Blames ‘Cyber Attack’,” ARL Now, April 26, 2016[12], placed subordinate to the eventual party nominee, “has to file an updated campaign finance report with the Federal Elections Commission, a failure first noted by the local news site Arlnow.com. Patricia Sullivan, “Republicans vying to challenge Beyer in Northern Virginia congressional race,” supra.
18. Hence, no reasonable expectation might find surprise when Respondent Washington Post had reported”
Republicans overwhelmingly chose local economist and environmental consultant Charles Hernick to challenge Rep. Don Beyer (D) for Virginia’s 8th District congressional seat this fall.
The delegates to the party’s district convention Saturday nominated Hernick with 78 percent of the vote, spurning Michael Webb, a former Army officer. Patricia Sullivan, “Republicans choose candidate to oppose Beyer in Northern Virginia,” Washington Post, May 9, 2016.
19. “The constitutional protection does not turn upon ‘the truth, popularity, or social utility of the ideas and beliefs which are offered’”, Id. (quoting NAACP v. Button, 371 U.S. 415 (1963), cognizant that “[i]n the realm of. . . political belief, sharp differences arise”; however, “the people of this nation have ordained, in the light of history, that, in spite of the probability of excesses and abuses, these liberties are, in the long view, essential to enlightened opinion and right conduct on the part of the citizens of a democracy.” Cantwell v. Connecticut, 310 U. S. 296 (1940).
20. Clearly, a “privilege of ‘fair comment’ for expressions of opinion depends on the truth of the facts upon which the comment is based”, New York Times v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964) (quoting Parsons v. Age-Herald Publishing Co., 181 Ala. 439 (1913)), and, “[u]nless. . . [they] can discharge the burden of proving of truth, general damages are presumed, and may be awarded without proof of pecuniary injury”, while “[a] showing of actual malice is apparently a prerequisite to recovery of punitive damages,” while “[g]ood motives and belief in truth do not negate an inference of malice, but are relevant only in mitigation of punitive damages if the jury chooses to accord them weight.” Id. (citing Johnson Publishing Co. v. Davis, 271 Ala. 474 (1960)).
21. While “[t]he outcome of constitutional cases ought to rest on firmer grounds than the personal preferences of judges”, Van Orden v. Perry, 545 U.S. 677 (2005), “[o]nly the gravest abuses, endangering paramount interests, give occasion for permissible limitation”. Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398 (1963), perhaps even when, arguably affecting the outcome of elections, engaging in picking winners and losers by express or implied endorsement for candidates.
22. Yet, “[i]n a highly contentious and politically motivated environment,” Respondent Washington Post that had found it of sufficient public importance to note at the outset of its report that “months of discord about the coronavirus epidemic have transformed the cloth mask into a potent political symbol, touted by Democrats as a key part of communal responsibility, labeled by some GOP leaders as a sign of government overreach and as a scarlet letter pinned on the weak”, Affidavit in Support of Verified Complaint, ¶ 172, p. 47 (quoting Ben Guarino, Chelsea Janes & Ariana Eunjung Cha, “Spate of new research supports wearing masks to control coronavirus spread,” Washington Post, June 13, 2020), had, for reasons only described as “that was news”, as in evidence at Exhibit A, found it imperative to warn and advise politicians and candidates to “take note: Don’t post screenshots that show your porn tabs.” Justin Wm. Moyer, “Politicians, take note: Don’t post screenshots that show your porn tabs,” Washington Post, May 17, 2016.
23. Reposting a story from Reuters, albeit, suspiciously omitting a hotlink to the primary source scientific report to verify claims, Respondent Washington Post had found the “debate”, about which Petitioner, in courts of record, had averred what had been described as “mere criticisms” and “enigmatic allegations”. Order, Webb v. Northam, Civil Action No. 3:20CV497 (E.D.Va. August 25, 2020), a case that he, alone, without even attorney assistance, advanced all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in docketing for certiorari, the first brought and longest surviving challenge against the masking mandates, Webb v. Northam, Civil Action No. 3:20-cv-00497 (E.D. Va. 2020), aff’d Record No. 20-1968 (4th Cir. 2021), cert. denied Record No. 21-6170 (U.S. 2021), on nonmedical grade substitutes for respiratory protection of sufficient public interest to inform readers and viewers that “[p]opulation-wide face mask use could push covid-19 transmission down to controllable levels for national epidemics, and could prevent further waves of the pandemic disease when combined with lockdowns, according to a British study.” Kate Kelland, “Widespread mask-wearing could prevent covid-19 second waves, study says,” Washington Post, June 16, 2020 (citing Richard O. J. H. Stutt, A modelling framework to assess the likely effectiveness of facemasks in combination with ‘lock-down’ in managing the COVID-19 pandemic, 476 Proc. R. Soc. A 2238, pp. 47620200376, June 10, 2020).
24. “’Our analyses support the immediate and universal adoption of facemasks by the public,’” said lead author Dr Richard Stutt, part of a team that usually models the spread of crop diseases at Cambridge’s Department of Plant Sciences.” News Release,
“Widespread facemask use could shrink the ‘R’ number and prevent a second COVID-19 wave – study,” Cambridge University, https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/widespread-facemask-use-could-shrink-the-r-number-and-prevent-a-second-covid-19-wave-study (accessed June 23, 2024).
25. Less assuredly, Renata Retkute, a contributing researcher, presented the claim, “We have little to lose from the widespread adoption of facemasks, but the gains could be significant.” Id.
26. Even the original story conceded, albeit tagged at the very tail end of the story, that, while “[i]n all scenarios the study looked at, routine face mask use by 50% or more of the population reduced COVID-19 spread to an R of less than 1.0, flattening future disease waves and allowing for less stringent lockdowns”, “[e]xperts not directly involved in the latest British study were divided over its conclusions”, Kate “Widespread mask-wearing could prevent COVID-19 second waves – study,” Reuters, June 10, 2020, an opinion not deemed newsworthy or of sufficient public interest to report by Respondent Washington Post.
27. According to Respondent Washington Post’s republication of the Reuters story, “[t]he research, led by scientists at Britain’s Cambridge and Greenwich universities, suggests lockdowns alone will not stop the resurgence of the new coronavirus which causes covid-19, but that even homemade masks can dramatically reduce transmission rates if enough people wear them in public.” Id. (citing Ibid.).
28. Relying upon an authority upon whom, according to documents obtained under a request in accordance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (VFOIA), Va. Code 2.2-3700 et seq., the former Virginia Governor had relied upon for his masking guidance, see, Trisha Greenhalgh, et al., Face masks for the public during the covid-19 crisis, BMJ 2020, 369:m1435, doi: 10.1136/bmj.m1435 (April 9, 2020); see also Jeremy Howard, et al., Face Masks Against COVID-19: An Evidence Review, Preprints, doi:10.20944/preprints202004.0203.v2 (May 13, 2020), articles not relying upon any empirical findings, but rather advocating for immediate implantation of the 1978 UNESCO precautionary principle, a doctrine expressly rejected by American courts, Sancho v. Dep’t of Energy, No. 08-17389, D.C. No. 1:08-cv-00136-HG-KS, (9th Cir. 2010) Sancho v. Dep’t of Energ., Record No. 08-17389 (9th Cir. 2010), Respondent Washington Post, republishing a Reuters story, had presented to its reading and viewing audience the representation that “Trish Greenhalgh, an Oxford University professor, said the findings were encouraging and suggested masks ‘are likely to be an effective population measure.’” Kate Kelland, “Widespread mask-wearing could prevent covid-19 second waves, study says,” supra.
29. “Bad faith is not just intentional conduct but intent to engage in conduct for an impermissible reason, willful noncompliance, or willful ignorance of the facts”, Brewer v. Lennox Hearth Prods., LLC, 601 S.W.3d 704 (Tex. 2020); see also Schultz v. Schultz, No. 05-20-00819-CV, 2022 WL 336564 (Tex. App. —Dallas, February 4, 2022), and, in the Courts of the Commonwealth, “[a] court may take judicial notice of a factual matter not subject to reasonable dispute in that it is either (1) common knowledge or (2) capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned”, Va. R. Sup. Ct. 2:201(a), such “notice may be taken at any stage of the proceeding”, Va. R. Sup. Ct. 2:201(b), and “[a] party is entitled upon timely motion to an opportunity to be heard as to the propriety of taking judicial notice”, Va. R. Sup. Ct. 2:201(a).
“Good motives and belief in truth do not negate an inference of malice, but are relevant only in mitigation of punitive damages if the jury chooses to accord them weight.” Sullivan, 376 U.S., at 254 (citing JohnsonPublishing Co., 271 Ala. at 474).
[1] “Incidental damages resulting from the seller’s breach include expenses reasonably incurred in inspection, receipt, transportation and care and custody of goods rightfully rejected, any commercially reasonable charges, expenses or commissions in connection with effecting cover and any other reasonable expense incident to the delay or other breach.” Id.
(2) Consequential damages resulting from the seller's breach include (a) any loss resulting from general or particular requirements and needs of which the seller at the time of contracting had reason to know and which could not reasonably be prevented by cover or otherwise; and (b) injury to person or property proximately resulting from any breach of warranty.” Id.
[2] “Lack of privity between plaintiff and defendant shall be no defense in any action brought against the manufacturer or seller of goods to recover damages for breach of warranty, express or implied, or for negligence, although the plaintiff did not purchase the goods from the defendant, if the plaintiff was a person whom the manufacturer or seller might reasonably have expected to use, consume, or be affected by the goods; however, this section shall not be construed to affect any litigation pending on June 29, 1962.” Id.
