As to the rest of it: yes, you are correct, if the blatantly inaccurate misrepresentation of the lawsuit against Paula Deen that you outline was accurate, that would indeed be going too far.
Please distinguish the lawsuit from the media/mob flap and the moves to get her show dropped, The plaintiffs would not profit from her having less income with which to pay their damages if they win.
The lawsuit alleges discrimination in her business. Why the plaintiffs' lawyer in the deposition went so deeply after details of her past vocabulary (like Ken Starr going after details of Clinton's affair with Monica), we can only speculate. Perhaps it was intended as blackmail. Perhaps someone stole a copy and sold it to the Enquirer.
I have no interest in the lawsuit etc, and only a mild interest in the way the vocabulary flap is being presented.
