Correct me if I'm wrong SB lawyers. In order to win a slander/libel lawsuit, doesn't the plaintiff have to prove that the publication's content resulted in a loss of income, or something to that extent.

Well you need to prove damages. That would be a form of damages. Another (in this situation) would be something like estranged marriage with his wife or ruined relationship with his kid. That would take the form of "mental anguish" or "emotional distress." Even something like a loss of sponsorship money or loss of donation money to a charity Joey heads up could be considered damages.

Yep, the burden of proof is on the one seeking the compensation.
