"Here’s a media literacy rule of thumb: any time you hear about how the courts
have done something outrageous and absurd to some poor, long-suffering,
gigantic, wildly profitable corporation…dig deeper.
The canonical example is the “McDonald’s Hot Coffee Lawsuit” (aka
Liebeck v.
McDonald’s Restaurants). You know, that time that an old lady got burned by
her McDonald’s coffee and then sued for for $2.7 million?! Most people heard
that story — and they heard it for a reason."
