In the opening, the Justice lays out the balancing test, but when finally the topic arrives in parags. 122 & 123, he concludes that if there was no Nazi theme, then that removes all need to balance the private with the public interest. Maybe the NOTW's lawyers gave away a general, public interest defense, but if not, then for the court never to balance one person's desire for privacy about illicit conduct against the public interest in knowing about the character of public figures is ridiculous.

King reads his interview questions straight off a paper and never asks a followup question. Max could write the questions hand them to larry and away they go on the interview of the century.

Legal suit;shmeegal suit I say, Murdoch has platoons of lawyers let Max fight them if he wants....but he can do it on this own time & his own dime, not as FIA President.
