CNN Settles Defamation Lawsuit With Covington Student Nicholas Sandmann

What YOU think, often entertains us. Given the amount of the lawsuit, several million is a safe guess
But we do have YOU saying he would never get a penny.

 

Would be interesting to see how much money he was able to squeeze out of CNN. Of course I'm sure part of the settlement probably has a gag order clause which prohibits the disclosure of the details of the settlement.

 

Exactly.

And, his lawyers got a bunch.

Reardless, I find the characterization of "Millions" to be a stretch.

 

However much his Lawyers got is irrelevant.

 

Well, you said he would never get a penny so we must be forgiven if we find entertainment in what you say, on this issue. Care to speculate on what he got?

 

It’s like Christmas morning when we learn the msm had to write a check because they behaved badly.

There is a God.

 

Feel better now?

 

I always date this at or about the time they bought out Ted Turner.. But then, I'm much the originalist these days...

 

Your humble pie seems lumpy and inconsistent like the rest of your posting...

 

Probably when he was married to Jane Fonda and then he left after the divorce, is that close?

 

Did you feel the same when FOX News had to do it? Alex Jones?

 

Andrew Jackson said: ↑
Let me know when they actually collect a penny of actual damages.

Until then?

and

Cool.

Let me know when they lose a judgement, have it upheld on appeal, and actually collect any monetary damages.

Until then?

Well? Now you know what say you?

 

I've asked you once already what are you talking about?

 

Try Google it helps.

 

It's YOUR claim what are you talking about, I don't think you know.

 

I think you are bereft of any knowledge of what happens in the world because you are lazy...

Here is the latest ongoing FAUX News suit.

Do you need me to post the link to Alex Jones and his 100,000 dollars he had to pay for losing a lawsuit over claiming that the killing of school kids(Sandy Hook) was fake?

 

You said

As I thought you don't know what you are talking about. In fact that only thing a court has said is "dismissed". I expect the same here. And I don't care about this Alex Jones guy.

 

The msm is disgustingly anti-American. Any bad day for them is a good day for the U.S.

 

That kid has college covered and at minimum the seed money to start any type of business he wants to run/own. He should really think about what he wants to do with his life, because he can do whatever he wants thanks to the FAKE NEWS LEFTISTS in the MSM. I am guessing he will be an annual donor to Conservative candidate for the rest of his life with MSM $$$.

 

If you think about it, the first video we saw was of a kid with a MAGA hat smiling at a guy with a drum. Now how would anyone in their right mind interpret that as racist unless the media sold it as being racist, which they did. They could have easily sold it as a high school kid enjoying what the guy with the drum was doing, but they didn't and we know why they didn't, and that was to paint the kid as being racist in order to make Trump and his supporters look like racists. No matter what anyone says, the media's intention was to sell this event as something negative for Trump and the kid and it worked, hence the threats on the kid, his family, his school, the wood chipper, the horrible tweets about having a punchable face, etc.

 

Welp, above tells us more about you than Sandmann and Wood. Thanks for the clarity.

The goons in this story were the folks who rushed to attack an innocent teenager, spam foamy, ignorant vitriol all over media and the net, including this forum, as some kind of hate crime against the lying, paid protestor indian. Then, as LW do here every day, even after the facts in context came out, they continued to double down and dig in on the attacks all across media. Not a good look, and voters will remember this among so many other LW Complex excesses of late.

Disappointed that the settlement didn't include a public apology. It must have been very large to avoid that because the case was strong due to Sandmann not being an adult public figure. There are other cases pending against other "news" agencies and individuals, hopefully some of those will involve public apologies.

Anyone who thinks this settled for less than substantial seven figures is engaging in some extremely deluded wishful thinking.

 

All media is biased whether or not you will admit it; if they report what you agree with then they are true Americans, however if you disagree with what they report then they are anti-American. Name me one media outlet that isn't biased.

 

And he has more coming. I want to know who has lost their jobs over this. Just saw the Richard Jewel movie last weekend, the irony oh the irony.

 

Glad that kid got paid.

Hope he uses the money to buy guns, bibles, and donate a little to Trump's campaign.

Just make sure when you do, you let the left know what their money is being used for.

 

No, he surely got several million.

I dont know for sure, but my buddy (who is an attorney for several large corporations, including Ford) says the number isnt anywhere close to $200m+ but that the number is enough to not work for a long, long time.
