        Newspapers, publishers, and television stations have the highest success rate in defamation cases in the US. 16 out of 41 defamation cases in the last two decades have ended in a conviction. While this is under half, if you focus specifically on the categories I mentioned before it suddenly becomes 11 out of 20, which is a (albeit thin) majority of cases. The odds are pretty good, especially since the defendant in this case has a track record of being shitty to the people who will decide a case.
