CNN settles lawsuit with Nick Sandmann

[easyt65]

No details of the settlement have been announced by either side, which tells me that the settlement isn't anything to crow about.

If it was an extremely small amount CNN would have no problem with it being reported...and just the fact that CNN settle is a win for Sandman, so I don't see him opposing the release of the settlement amount. I would bet almost anything that part of the terms of the agreement demanded by CNN for settling the suit was that the amount was not to be released.

CNN doesn't want the world to know how much this high school student just collected for CNN f*ing with the wrong AGA hat wearer.

 

[martybegan]

has the settlement been made public or are people just assuming millions?

usually they can't talk over the terms of a settlement so wondering if this is FAKE NEWS under the ASSUMPTION that millions were paid out.

may well have been, but verification of details seems to be a lost art all around.

The fact that they settled at all shows they knew they were vulnerable. The real test is if any of the organizations let this go to trial.

yep. figured there would be a settlement. they did this in my mind for attention and NOT news. but asking for $250m doesn't mean they will settle for anywhere NEAR that.

all i am saying is we don't know so ANYONE saying he got millions is simply guessing and part of the "fake news" generation.

I doubt Sandman's side would settle for less than $1M, and I doubt CNN would bow down unless the cost of their defense would be in the millions.

I would say it depends if an "apology" is part of the settlement as well. No Apology, I would say $10M, Apology, Around $1-$2 million.

No details of the settlement have been announced by either side, which tells me that the settlement isn't anything to crow about. I think that the terms should be made public. These suits were initially dismissed as having no basis.

I doubt the kids got much and most of that would go to the lawyers. This is the classic case of the parents making dumb decision and putting their child in bad shape.

CNN is probably the side that doesn't want the value of the settlement released.

That they settled showed they did not want this going to trial, either for cost, for image, or both.

 

[iceberg]

maybe. believe i conceded it was likely high.but to shout out HE GOT MILLIONS without knowing - isn't that "fake news"?

No. It's common sense.

You REALLY think Sandman and his lawyer would not at least demand a couple of millions from CNN to make this case go away when the original price tag was $250 Million. CNN was clearly in the wrong. Public sentiment was in Sandman's favor. CNN already has enough of a problem with their credibility publicly - the last thing they wanted was to be in a public trial being sued for slandering a high school student / kid. And if they low-balled the kid and walked away with paying pennies on the dollar they would have no problem reporting the kid & his lawyer took 'chump change', proving 'this was just about the money'.

As mentioned by others, proving CNN was at fault would take a good bit of proof...and CNN was so unsure about rolling the dice they wanted this to just go away quietly.

I am sure the other 2 Fake News media had no desire for CNN to make public what it had to pay for the same thing they were being hit with.

After this is all over and he is smart with his money / investments, Sandman probably won't have to work hard a day in his life thanks to the Trump-hating Fake News media.

common sense says you don't say something happened if you can't prove it.

"common sense" drives a shitload of fake news out there you hate. yet when it's YOUR common sense, it's fine and dandy.

got it.

The great thing about 'TRUTH' is that it is owned by NO ONE. The 'truth' is 'the truth'. CNN has been proven once again as being 'Fake News Peddlers', 'Counter-Intelligence Propaganda Pushers'.

Common Sense is defined as 'practical judgment in sound matters'.

Progressive liberal socialist Democrats, their co-conspiring Liberal Media, and snowflakes completely lost their ability to engage in 'practical judgment in sound matters' after Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016. This is just another reminder of that.

File this under 'AWESOME' and as a win for both Nick Sandman and President Trump in his war against the Leftist Fake News media....A High School Student just forced CNN to admit it is an anti-Trump FAKE NEWS propaganda-pushing media while forcing CNN to hand over MILLIONS of dollars in reparations....

CNN just PUBLICLY admitted it lied its ass off when it falsely reported Covington High School student Nick Sandman aggressively instigated an incident with Native American protestors, targeting Sandman unfairly because he was wearing a 'MAGA' hat in support of President Trump....and that confession cost them 'bigly'!

"CNN on Tuesday settled a defamation lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann over its botched coverage of a viral confrontation with a Native American elder that had portrayed the Kentucky teen as the aggressor."

Lawsuits against The Washington Post and NBC are ongoing...

Open your wallets, scumbags, and PAY UP!

DUDE -

you are sitting here bitching at the left for FAKE NEWS while you throw it out yourself and when called upon that simple fact, you go into a tizzy to defend your version of FEELZ in that it MUST be millions!

you do not know. ergo, it is FAKE NEWS you are using to bust the left for FAKE NEWS and you're too hard headed to see it.

have you tried simply reporting facts when fighting "fake news", genius?

from your OP:

please prove that "hand over millions of dollars in reparations" please.

or is that "fake news"?

Assumption is the new verification

True...think Roy Moore, Brett Kavanaugh, Russia collusion

Not sure that's a good thang- working hard is good for what ails you- it causes appreciation for what you have- easy money is easily taken- instant gratification causes buyers remorse-

The incredible amount of effort you are putting into attempting to spin this entire story is mind-numbing.

The story is how CNN just settled - agreed to pay Nick Sandman for their Fake News reporting of the events. their misrepresentation of this high school student because he was wearing a MAGA hat supporting the President.

Discussion about the speculation as to the amount that was paid began among several board members, none of whom have made any claim as to knowing how much was actually paid out due to the undisputed fact that the story does not say.

You are now having a triggered meltdown, seeking to attack me for posting the story about how Sandman just kicked CNN's ass and is still pursuing his case against 2 other Fake News outlets - who will most probably also pay up since CNN did so, setting the precedence in this case.

To me, the amount is actually not important. The fact remains CNN just agreed to pay Sandman for their fake news reporting. And you can continue to have your lil' snowflake melt-down party all you want. I will just stand over here and laugh at your ass.

 

[bodecea]

The 20 bucks he spent on that hat will no doubt end up being the best investment he ever made.

So...it WAS a baiting thug move.

heh - yea, i must be melting down. there can be no simple "dude, you're wrong" anymore.

you're bitching at fake news
then you post how the kid got millions - OF WHICH - is fake news.

there is no attack here, just stating facts. you're bitching at others for being emotional while you do it yourself. in all honestly this is what our biggest issue as a nation is. you feel it's ok to spout off emotionally at those spouting off emotionally cause they're YOUR feelz. THEIR feelz are wrong cause you don't FEELZ like they do.

if the amount isn't important than simply say "hey, no idea if millions but glad CNN had to pay up" and this is done. til then you're just pushing your fake news over someone elses.

As the lad is obviously a Conservative, I am sure that lesson will not be lost on him. Don't expect to see Sandman in a Welfare, Unemployment, Obamaphone, and / or Food Stamp line, existing based on his dependency on the Democratic party's taxpayer funded 'benevolence'.

'Dude', I am CELEBRATING CNN being publicly taken behind the proverbial woodshed for pushing fake news again.

then you post how the kid got millions - OF WHICH - is fake news

I never stated it is a FACT CNN paid out millions - I said 'I BET'. You need to learn to read, lil' snowflake.

Board members began DISCUSSING / speculating how much the settlement was for....'discussion' is what is done on a discussion board. If you can't handle that, perhaps you need to run off to your 'safe space'.

 

[tyroneweaver]

Proving defamation by media is an uphill battle. the thing here is that the kid wasn't a public figure before this, and most of the news orgs fell for bogus information in their rush to get some good Anti-Trump dirt out for their news cycle.

And yet CNN was SO sure they would lose in court that they agreed to pay up...

O

In the news business it's so sure they would "win" they paid up. j

where do you say "I BET" and you're bitching at FAKE NEW MEDIA and FAKE NEWS PROPAGANDA - yet you're not bitching about fake news...

maybe you need to learn to write.

It's not an assumption - It's my opinion...and I believe anyone who would put forth the effort to go after propaganda-pushing fake news media is not one who would cut corners, like CNN did.

As far as 'assume' goes, if you are looking for 'asses', I suggest you find the nearest mirror.
