Curious as to what became of the lawsuit over Mark Steyn's disingenious equation of climate science & child molestation, I turned to The Daily Beast for an update.
It reports Canada's top banana climate comedian has another suit on his hands- from his own side in the Climate Wars:

RIP: Inside the Collapse of the Mark Steyn Show
When his show was suddenly canceled by CRTV, Mark Steyn said he sued to protect his employees—a claim some of those employees flatly reject. LACHLAN MARKAY 03.14.17 12:00 AM ET
His staff didn’t buy it.
“It’s bullshit, frankly,” said Mike Young, formerly the show’s site supervisor. “They all hate him.”
Late last month the Canadian author sued conservative media startup CRTV for breach of contract following the network’s abrupt cancellation of The Mark Steyn Show after just two months on the air. Steyn demanded the court issue a restraining order keeping his show running while it adjudicated his breach-of-contract allegations, saying ... “I didn’t feel the cameramen and production assistants and musicians and audio engineers should have to suffer because I was stupid enough to get into bed with CRTV.”
His employees tell a different story: They say Steyn ran the show into the ground. He generally wouldn’t even speak to crew members, they claim, and when he did, he verbally abused them... Steyn referred to members of the northern Vermont-based crew, a former employee claimed under oath, as "a bunch of meth-heads". A Steyn spokesperson denied he made that comment...
This account is based on sworn declarations, made under penalty of perjury and provided exclusively to The Daily Beast, from nine former Mark Steyn Show employees, and interviews with four of those former employees, three of whom spoke on the record.
Steyn did not respond to a request for comment on his former crew members’ allegations. His spokesperson Melissa Howes denied most of their claims. “It saddens us to hear these allegations,” she said...
Steyn’s commentary has drawn legal challenges in the past. He is currently fighting a libel lawsuit brought by geophysicist Michael Mann over Steyn’s 2012 claim that some of Mann’s academic work on climate change was “fraudulent.
