Answer 1

The cited reference mentions the many times he was sued for libel, and states that "In his many court cases, Hislop has won only twice."

The next paragraph refers to his unblemished record appearing on every episode of "Have I Got News for You", but nowhere is there any mention of how many episodes he won.
