This is one of those cases where even if he wins he loses. Who would want to sell ads anymore?

    Well, even if he has no intention of winning, the simple act of filing will cost any named watchdog media group money. I doubt too many are swimming in it.

    He's also got a habit of ignoring legal advice and running his mouth in public, so he's likely going to end up writing another big check for that misadventure if his lawyers can't talk him out of going through with it
