https://media.am/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/eurovision-2011.jpg_0.jpg600386There are currently more than ten cases against news outlets underway in court. Moreover, all are lawsuits not by mere mortals (I state this conditionally), but by public figures (again, conditionally stated). As for what is so agitating for politicians and public figures is another topic of discussion. Today I will turn my attention not to them and their motives in launching the lawsuits, but to the status of the public figure and certain tolerance that comes with this.
