Libel claimant wants big media to police bloggers

Canadian climate scientist Andrew Weaver, a University of Victoria professor and Canada Research Chair in climate modelling, says National Post articles defaming him were picked up by bloggers and others. The Post should be responsible for tracking down all such material, he says. The claim is seen as a threat to big media but a judge would be brave to support such an impossible task, the Planet Guys conclude. Presumably, the stories were also transmitted by word of mouth.
