A former employer of mine likes to say: “You should never go to war with anyone who buys ink by the barrel.”  Sometimes people don’t take this sage advice or my advice about avoiding a death of a thousand cuts very seriously:

Mylan Inc. files suit again the Post-Gazette.

Mylan is suing the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette over a series of stories concerning alleged drug safety violations at its Morgantown facility.  The article suggests that Mylan’s lawyers are making some fairly novel legal claims because a straightforward case of libel would be so difficult to make.  Lawyers have tried many novel legal theories to get around libel legal standards over the years, generally with little success.

Well, at least the lawyers will get rich.
