A few others can better answer this, but it is likely that Kyle would not be viewed by the court as a "public Figure". An underage victim of a horrific crime is generally given some leeway there. But it may be argued that while his story is of public interest, he did not step into this or put himself out there voluntarily. Where minors are concerned US courts will generally err towards Private Individual. Where Kurt gets into some real trouble is with those psychiatrist claims made to Ben Shapiro about Kyle. That is defamatory and is getting into some deeply questionable areas. What was the purpose of that conversation with Shapiro? It seemed to be Eichenwald attempting to extort something out of Shapiro or to extort Shapiro to extort something out of Kyle via clear threat of defamation. And yes telling the world that "I have psychiatrists who believe that Kyle is clinically insane" is something for which actual damages can be awarded. It is an attempt to interfere with his future education and employment prospects, right at the moment the child is developing them. It's in fact heinous. The fact that it is a coordinated threat backed by what clearly seems to be or feels like an attempt at extortion could be construed as a criminal act depending on jurisdiction and how enterprising the DA is. At least it would be if it was done by a normie and not a protected class such as an insane megalomaniacal has been journalist well on his way to Super Villainy.

Eichenwald is going to be protected by the single fact that no one in the world believes his deluded nonsense and because of that Kyle's reputation was completely unblemished by his lies.

I also think that Eichenwald is further protected by the fact that his comments about Kyle were made privately. It was Ben Shapiro who released the allegations publicly and the universal response to the DMs is that Eichenwald is going faster on the crazy train and there's a danger that train is going to derail. Kyle hasn't suffered any damage to his reputation, indeed it is Eichenwald who is suffering massively.

You've essentially described what a "limited public figure" is. It generally does not involve being thrust against your will, as a victim of a horrifying crime, into the limelight. Even if, as a public victim, you do choose to make statements, this does not open you to being defamed freely. Shitbags like Alex Jones, who seem to view shooting victims as fair game, may learn this lesson really soon.

Watching the Metokur videos for the first time, I keep hearing him say the name Kurt Eichenwald and thinking "okay, no need for that, this guy's a dipshit, no need to get racist, go ahead and call him by his real na... oh." His name sounds so Nazi that it sounds like an anti-semitic pun. Like "Karl Bauschwitz"

What, you've never heard of the Eichenwald Concentration Camp? My grandfather died there!
 
check out kevin allred someone who'd make a great metokur video subject
I'm not sure Kevin has enough content to support a metokur video about him; he spergs about Beyonce a lot and thinks he's more important/intelligent than he actually is, but nothing much beyond that besides the tweets that got him fired. Now if Jim grouped Kevin with Michael Isaacson, Eric Clanton, and George Cicciarello-Maher in a video about crazy professors, that would be amazing.

That conversation between Eichenwald and Shapiro was NOT a private or protected conversation, no matter how much Eichenwald may claim it was. It was an attempt at racketeering. Shapiro rightfully and appropriately poured daylight on it. It was a one sided attempt to deliver a threat in an attempt to coerce action against another parties interest. "Nice Little Friend you have there. Gee it would be a real shame if anybody saw my shady psychiatrists report on him that claims he is a psychotic, just as he is applying to colleges. Do what I say and nobody gets defamed and has their lives ruined. I am a powerful Journalist after all..."
 
He's gone back to twitter silence. Much like Brianna Wu, Spoony and other twitter addicts that self document through their addiction, it's really obvious when they are crashing into slumber when incidents like Kurts last 24hrs happen.

He did briefly try and divert attention by talking about our favorite avatar squatter, but when you are trending like he was, that was never going to work.

Gonna bet he'll return by tomorrow with a 27 thread rant about misinformation, trolls and bots.
 
Guy seems to have gone all-quiet on twitter and is not responding to various journalistic sources asking for comment. With his recent increasingly unhinged behavior just putting down twitter (perhaps via an intervention) would be the best thing for him. That said, I honestly wonder if he may have gone into psychiatric treatment or something similar (or worse) given how nuts he has been coupled with getting smacked so hard AND getting fired from his last journalistic credential (or realizing he was fired).

I'd almost feel bad for him except the way he tries or threatens to use law enforcement to go after his 'enemies.'

(following is an excerpt from a WaPo story... everyone seems to be distancing themselves from Kurt)
In a separate situation that grows increasingly bizarre, journalist Kurt Eichenwald tweeted multiple criticisms of Kashuv, one of which ended with this declaration: “I have no respect for you.” Eichenwald apologized, saying he had mistaken Kashuv for someone else — a different teenager — whom he meant to insult...

...On Tuesday, Shapiro tweeted an email he received from Eichenwald, in which Eichenwald said he had consulted a psychiatrist who, without meeting Kashuv, concluded that Kashuv “is in desperate need of psychiatric help or support.” In his email signature, Eichenwald attached himself to Vanity Fair magazine.

Vanity Fair then issued a statement saying that Eichenwald is not a contributor — to which Eichenwald reacted with apparent surprise...

I'm sure when he comes back he'll either have a really stupid explanation, or a thoroughly thought-out sympathy-grabbing explanation (that's still really stupid). But yeah at the point that he started getting calls from journalists asking him for comment on his written threats and intimidation, someone may have forced him away from the computer and/or phone... I'd bet his wife with a "If you don't get off fucking twitter I'm not giving you your allowance anymore."
 
I think he will come back pretending nothing's happened these few days and will continue posting the usual stuff on Twitter, saying how he's a savior of hundreds of millions of children and that you can't critizice him because he has memory-erasing child porn-buying epilepsy.

That'd be a bold move, Cotton, he's got enough people breathing down his neck at this point that the typical celebrity ploy of "Ignore it until everyone forgets about it" might not work. If he could stay off twitter for a few months instead of a few days it might, but this is officially too big for one of his 24 hour twitter breaks to solve.
 
Fuck Kurt. Who the fuck does he think he is going 24 hours without giving us any content? FUCK HIM.

He's been very busy prepping a series of bulls for his wife.

Why isn't there a team of medical experts competing for the honor of having a new form of epilepsy named after them?

Certainly, the kind of epileptic seizure that causes you to start up child pornography sites and spend thousands of dollars running them and totally forget having done so is worthy of medical research.
