This is the situation in the UK, where essentially defamation cases are guilty until proven innocent; if the defence you have to rest on is that what you said or wrote was true, you have to prove that to the court. It means that anyone who says anything that upsets the rich can be sued for defamation and has essentially no chance of prevailing.
