Vindication for Mr. Nutterbutter

Hey, remember how last June, John Oliver did a segment on Last Week Tonight about coal and said some pretty uncomplimentary things about Bob Murray, the CEO of the coal mining company that bears his name, Murray Energy Corporation? Remember how Murray then responded with a big lawsuit for defamation? Well, on Wednesday, a West Virginia judge dismissed the suit.

I dunno if Murray has some way of appealing the dismissal or if so, if he intends to do so. That might prevent Oliver from mentioning it or mentioning it a lot on his show this Sunday. Then again, it might not.
