Internet has achieved the closest thing to actual 'freedom of speech' that mankind has seen. And in terms of magnitude is likely the maximum possible that can be achieved.
That ideal however says nothing about the quality of the speech. Nor does it say anything about how qualified the reviewer(s) must be who criticize it.

From the article: TMZ calls it "the most tasteless lawsuit we've ever seen."
When TMZ calls it tasteless, it's like tasteless², they know tasteless.

True, but she sued first.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

"Lombardo's suit is a counterclaim to one Harper filed demanding she be paid for the remainder of her contract because she dropped out for health reasons."
... That were extant before she signed the contract.
Looks like the guy's lawsuit is a "Nice try, Bitch!" response to someone trying to use her health problems to defraud him.
Before signing the contract, she consciously chose to hide the fact that she may not be able to complete it "for health reasons". If one of us did that, would we even ask to be paid for the whole contract after we dropped out, let alone sue for the money?
Never trust actors. They live to lie.

When someone makes a living about exposing indiscretions of the vapid only to be convicted of predatory behaviour[^] himself? That's one less smug face we'll be seeing for a while.

Yeah but he's more than one of these critera:
1. Rich
2. Media type
3. Famous
4. "Celebrity"
Any combination of any of these almost always results in said person being let off free.

I don't get the standing there without saying anything
What was he up to standing there - it must be one of the weirdest press conferences I have ever seen.

Casual question to fellow Code Project authors...
Does anybody know how the articles that appear in the list on the home page are determined?
It says latest articles... but I never saw mine in the list.
If your article is part of a contest is it excluded from the latest articles list?
Is there any other way to increase visibility of an article?
Maybe I'm just impatient, but its my first article and I was hoping for some feedback.

There are times when articles (and tips and blogs and references) are coming so fast that yours has a few minutes (2-3) on the front page...

It's magic. Also, if you send Sean some top quality olive oil that normally helps 'promote' your work.
You really don't want to know what it takes to get 'featured article'.

Quote: If your article is part of a contest is it excluded from the latest articles list?
Yes the contest articles (especially the latest one on HTML5 & CSS3) does not immediately appear on the home page. It's not always the case, I have seen sometimes it appears out of nowhere.
I'm sure CP might have plans to show up all these contest articles when it gets over (may be) 
Thanks,
