Flash in the Pan

Remember the west Belfast pub that decided to sue the Irish News? Now there's another case of a restaurant suing a paper for a bad review - this time in the US. According to a New York Times story, a Bala Cynwyd, PA restaurant called Chops sued the the Philadephia Inquirer for a review that took exception to the quality of a steak. The restaurant accused reviewer Craig LaBan of misidentifying the type of steak he had, thus criticizing a meal other than the one he ate. The reason for the distinction? I'm guessing its' because then the restaurant and its lawyer could argue that the LaBan was writing with a reckless disregard for the truth, not having asked, and that could be the opening for making a case for libel. US courts have set a high bar to sue reporters, and just disagreeing with their opinions in a review wouldn't make it. My question: What ever happened to the brotherly love?
