" I agree with CaptainPlanet, they had no right at all to drag her kids in this. They went out of their way to destroy her career and it worked so they should be made to pay her so she can suport her kids and pay her bills. Maybe those idiots may learn from this, doubt it but you never know. "

" Also, the tabloids get away with it because they not only mostly photograph from public property, but also the subjects they follow are considered public figures. While one could argue that Amy is a public figure, the tape broadcast also showed her kids, who are most certainly not. "

" WBBM paid the neighbor to tape Amy from their house. As in, CBS actually did the filming, not the neighbor. That in itself is illegal. Photography (and publishing) of someone without their consent is only allowed to the extent that can be viewed from public property. Then maliciously edited the tape to make a story out of nothing. Nobody is saying she is without fault, and her poor judgement deservingly cost Amy her job. What the suit is about is how CBS seemed to go out of their way to purposly defame her (broke the law, edited the tape maliciously, repeatedly showed the tape in promos, etc...). CBS knew what they were doing, and it worked. The suit will most likely not go to trial, as CBS will settle out of court "

" CBS didn't tape her, the neighbor did. Unless they made defamatory statements while they aired the tapes, how did they do any wrong? Her lack of judgement is why she can't get a job. If this is worthy of a lawsuit, how are The National Enquirer, Star, etc. still in business? They would get sued 20 times an issue, instead of just every once in a while when something can be proven to be untrue. There don't appear to be any lies in this case. "

" This lawsuit is a slamdunk for Amy. For anyone who has followed this case (I work in the media) this is a no-brainer. Amy's judgement was poor, and she did deserve to get fired. However, WBBM illegally videotaped her (from a neighbor's window, not a public street), maliciously edited the tape, and appears to have aired the tape with the intent to defame her character. It worked. She hasn't been able to get any job in or out of the media since. That's what the lawsuit is about. "

" To Not So Political:
Good question. I would have asked that before I interviewed him. She definatly deserved to get fired though that was a very stupid thing to do but I still do not agree that CBS had a right to do what they did that was very low class on their part. I am shocked that they would stoop so low. "

" Doesn't seem to me that she is sueing over her lack of judgement as much as CBS ruining her career which they had no right to do. "

" really how much does she now about this man and the missing wife????? "

" The media embelishing drama to get ratings? Shocking. "

" I never wore a halter top and took my kids with me when I was working. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all of the time. Face it, you blew it, and I wouldn't give you a dime for a "lapse in judgment". I always heard when growing up, you make your bed now lie in it. "

" Well Amy if the shoe fits hon, wear the thing. Amy knew full well the man was under investigation in the disappearance of his wife and at the time this story and picture broke, she led everyone to believe that she and her SON were at the mans' home to conduct an interview. Well since when does a repporter take a child and a swimsuit along on an interview with a suspected murderer? Amy is old news and just bitter that at her own hands is damaged goods and can not get a job reporting a supermarket opening. Too bad Amy but you always were full of yourself. "
