Maybe a message needed to be sent that journalists aren't above disobeying court orders. Perhaps they should've done the right thing when they still had the chance. Everything else is just whining about how something that could happen (a judgement against them), did.

That's a matter for the court to decide, then. Not for a plaintiff to claim non-existent or dubious factual claims as to lost income.

It sounds like the court did think his claim was accurate, I'm pretty sure the judge has the ability to make decisions on what damages should be.
