    Then you must also believe Trump was guilty all the times he settled right? or fox news, ect.....

    the reality is, most see it for what it was, something that looked bad, was reported and was wrong, and sadly this was a teen victim in this case, public opinion got it wrong in the beginning

    Settling is in essence an omission.

    But Andrew, you TOLD us to get back to you!

    I mean, didn't you mean what you said? Are you telling us not to take you at your word?

    Gosh - I'm sorry it made you feel look bad, AJ.

    most lefties said they would settle, but for no where near the amount asked

    settlements are often like NDA's, $$$ for silence, calms the storm

    how many people has Trump silenced with NDA's?

    Wasn't he suing for a hundred million?
    They probably settled for less than six figures just to get him to shut up.

    Do you mean ADMISSION?

    "Omission" makes ZERO Sense (in that context).

    But, assuming that you did mean "Admission" (and simply misspoke):

    Exactly.

    Just like ALL of the Lawsuits that a TRUMP "Settled".

    Good Point..

    Tell that to Trump.

    Great to see you concede that Trump ADMITTED GUILT in all of his "settled" cases.

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/10/politics/trump-university-settlement-finalized-trnd/index.html

    And, on-topic (back to Sandmann), I wonder how much the kid got?

    Hopefully enough to get him through college and keep him in weed and hookers.

    Good for him.:salute:

    that's how it works.
    If they hadn't libeled him, he wouldn't have sued and they wouldn't have settled.

    Think of it this way, every time you buy a product advertised on CNN you are indirectly putting money in this kid’s pocket.

    There it is, every thread, no matter what the subject, you have to drag Trump into it. You might be obsessed with him, but the rest of us have other topics we'd like to discuss.

    Lefties, let me ask you two questions:

    1. What gave the liberals in this country the kid was a racist who deserved to be punched in the face and put through a wood chipper?

    2. If Sandman had been wearing a I'm With Her hat do you think the left wing media would have sold him as being racist with the liberal Trump haters swallowing it up hook, line and sinker? Or do you think the headline would have been "Clinton supporters embrace the exchange of cultures with native American war hero?"

    If possible, be honest.

    Are you denying CNN did what the plaintiff claimed they did?

    Ah yes, the famous weaponized smirk that sent leftists everywhere reeling for their therapeutic playdough and safe spaces while shrieking "White Nationalists!" or "Racist!" One wonders how many millions of dollars CNN's various corporate owners had to fork over.

    CNN is red, but I wouldn't say they're full blown "hammer & sickle".

    In retrospect, you probably should have sat this one out, given another of your failed predictions. Posting Trump memes wont make us forget you said Sandman wont get a penny.lol

    Yeah, I'm SURE corporate lawyers just say "hey, this looks bad, lets give him millions, even though we dont have to".....said no Lawyer, EVER. But believe what you want to.

    Why are you bringing up Fox news, multiple times. No one but you is mentioning them.
