SF Bay Guardian wins $6.3 million from SF Weekly

A jury has awarded six big ones to crazy fun local liberal weekly the San Francisco Bay Guardian, on the grounds its crosstown rival the SF Weekly — which qualifies as right-wing propaganda around here — basically gave away ads in an attempt to drive the Guardian out of business. The Chronicle's report is all you need to read. Don't bother looking for the alleged "barbs in daily blogs from the courtroom" between the two papers. It's more fun to click Guardian articles at random. When you start to wonder if covert Republican operative Gavin Newsom arranged the tiger attack to divert attention from PG&E's role in the Cosco Busan spill, then it's time to stop.
