Are you for real or just practicing your satire or something? Really??? The links have already been posted. Like I said, educate yourself. Actually READ the links that have been posted. Then you will be more up to date on what is going on around you.
All I saw was that the case was settled with no terms disclosed. Nowhere did anyone suggest CNN "paid up" jack squat. And I was here before you were so I saw them all.
Go ahead. Prove me wrong.
They settled out of court, which means (since THEY were the defendants in this case), they paid up. It must have been a pretty penny because they accepted it.

Common sense, get some.
No, it doesn't mean that at all. It means part of the agreement is that neither side discusses it.
As posted before I suspect that CNN threatened to countersue on the same basis of defamation and the deal was that both sides drop and walk away. That would make sense.
CNN "paying up" would make sense only if there was evidence against it. As I've said for a frickin' year ---- where is it?
Where indeed. Yes Virginia, the
perception that something took place and the
reality of it taking place, are two different things. FACT: James Kirk never did say "beam me up Scotty".
CNN payed up. There wouldent be an NDA if they diddnt. And on what grounds would CNN counter sue?
Defamation. Implying through publicity that CNN had engaged in libel.
NDA is standard with an out-of-court settlement. It tells us nothing about who paid what or if anyone did.
There's also the tactic, albeit unethical, of
vexatious litigation. The defendant sometimes figures it's cheaper to settle for some vastly reduced amount rather than tie itself up in litigating the action to its conclusion. Like playing 'let's make a deal'' in traffic court. And in NO way does it mean the accused admits anything.
Again, if there were any actual evidence anyone could come up with, the possibility that CNN paid anything would be viable. That's why I put the challenge out here a year ago. Still waiting for the first one from anywhere.
