Lawyers for Nick Sandmann File 250 Million Dollar Lawsuit Against Washington Post

[Meathead]

Awesome....its time to return fire.....watch the libs cry foul....LOL

Why would we cry foul? Just one more rightwing imbecile posting here. Welcome aboard Beavis.

Sandmann was a 16-year old kid, You are a sleaze of some greater age I suppose.

 

[toomuchtime_]

SOOOOOOOOO............ just checking back in to this bullshit to find out "how the suit's going". You know, as I've been asking anyone and everyone where there is any evidence at all of said "defamation" since last January, hearing no response.

Anything at all? Anybody?

Oh wait --- here we go.

>> (CN) – A federal judge in Kentucky dismissed a $250 million libel and defamation lawsuit against the Washington Post, finding that the newspaper’s coverage of a January incident between a high school student and an American Indian activist was not defamatory in any way.​

​

.... In his ruling, Bertelsman engages with almost none of the more bombastic claims levied by the lawsuit, and instead analyzes the 33 statements Sandmann claims were defamatory.​

​

Bertelsman found that some of the statements in question are actually not about Sandmann, and simply refer to the groups of people involved in the incident.​

​

The judge also said many of the statements are opinions, some of which are derived from Phillips himself who claimed that he felt “blocked” by the students.​

​

“Few principles of the law are as well-established as the rule that statements of opinion are not actionable in libel actions,” Bertelsman wrote. He continued that statements challenged by Sandmann do “not form the basis for a defamation claim.”​

​

Bertelsman went on to explain that even if an opinion could be found “erroneous,” it is still protected by the First Amendment. << --- Courthouse News, July 26​

Funny none of these Smirk-boi wankers had the stones to post that. An "oversight" I'm sure.
The site went down. Yeah that's it, the site went down huh huh huh.

My apologies for reviving a thread that's been in a coma for a year, but a certain magical canine with the power to make threads disappear (whom I will not name) keeps imploring people to post updates regarding the Sandman vs WaPo lawsuit in an existing thread.

So here's the update:

The Washington Post on Friday agreed to settle a monster $250 million lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann over its botched coverage of his 2019 encounter with a Native American elder.

Sandmann declared the victory in a tweet on his 18th birthday. It’s unclear how much the newspaper settled for.

“On 2/19/19, I filed $250M defamation lawsuit against Washington Post. Today, I turned 18 & WaPo settled my lawsuit,” he wrote.

“Thanks to @ToddMcMurtry & @LLinWood for their advocacy. Thanks to my family & millions of you who have stood your ground by supporting me. I still have more to do,” he continued.

It is excellent news to hear that another one of the most vile and prolific anti-USA fake news outlets has been defeated by Sandmann.

While I am sure it was not 250 M, do we have a figure.

It could be that much. Usually the defendants in these kind of lawsuits demand a non-disclosure agreement when they settle for an embarrassingly large amount of money that would invite further lawsuits against their corporation.

So it's safe to say The Sandmann is $millions richer.

Maybe Sandman did get $250 million, who knows? After all, the Washington Post is Jeff Bezos' propaganda sheet, so what's $250 million to the richest man in the world?

He wouldn't get that for a suit that can't even show any evidence for itself. The federal judge already threw it out for that reason. All we can read out of the word "settled" here is that the litigation ceases -- under whatever the terms are. Anyone can declare a "win", what they can't do, like the suit itself, is prove it. Hell I could declare myself the crown prince of Bhutan who does brain surgery while flying a 747 but without actual evidence it remains a waste product of the Imaginarium.

The judge didn't throw it out, he dismissed it after Sandman's lawyers got the check and dropped the suit.

It got tossed last year. See above, post 422.

See, there's actual court decisions, and then there's Tweeter and Fecesbook and the Noo Yawk Post. Guess which one's credible.

And yet according to the Washington Post,

Attorneys for the Sandmanns filed to dismiss the suit Friday morning in federal district court in Covington. Neither side disclosed the terms of the settlement, which foreclosed the possibility of a trial.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/washington-post-settles-lawsuit-with-family-of-kentucky-teenager/2020/07/24/ae42144c-cdbd-11ea-b0e3-d55bda07d66a_story.html

Yes, we already know that. "The suit is dropped", end of story.

That of course doesn't mean my invitation to find any evidence for any of these suits is dropped, whether there's a suit pending or not. If such evidence exists anywhere I'd like to see it. Just for the point of reading comprehension.

Again this goes back to "suit settled, we won!" versus "No, suit settled, we won!" There is no "won" without any evidence thereto, and the terms of settlement specifically prohibit that. So all we're left with is the Noo Yawk Post milking emotion headlines from Gullibles.

lol What evidence are you talking about? The Post published a wilding inaccurate story in which it accused Sandman of taking an aggressive stance against Philips who was just trying to walk across the site. The story was clearly defamatory and the only question was whether just sloppy journalism or was there an intent to defame Sandaman because he was wearing a MAGA hat. Clearly the story wasn't fact checked, but was it just poor quality journalism or was it not fact checked because the Post wanted to write a defamatory story? All the evidence was public knowledge and the only thing a trial would decide is intent.

The story was so wildly inaccurate that if it had gone to trial, Sandman would almost certainly have won on the grounds of culpable negligence by the Post, but if his lawyers were able to persuade a majority of the jurors that the Post deliberately defamed him because of political bias the award would be much larger. Given the Post's relentless attacks on Trump and his supporters, it is not unlikely Sandman's lawyer could have successfully made the case that the defamation was intentional and not just poor journalism. In any case, the Post, like CNN, settled to avoid a trial that would have seriously damaged it reputation as a reliable source of news.

The Washington Post on Friday agreed to settle a monster $250 million lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann over its botched coverage of his 2019 encounter with a Native American elder.

It is excellent news to hear that another one of the most vile and prolific anti-USA fake news outlets has been defeated by the Sandmann.

Thanks for the quote but I went ahead and clicked your link to see the whole thing. First thought, many chuckles at following a headline of the Noo Yawk Post. Nice touch.

--- Which headline declares a "win", but never does essplain how it's a "win". Some of A's lawyers negotiated with some of B's lawyers to the effect of "X number of dollars and we'll make this nuisance suit go away so you don't have to keep traipsing back into court on technicalities", which is the whole game.

--- You DO understand that "250 million dollars" is the amount the suit SOUGHT, not the amount anyone PAID, right? That is, assuming anyone paid anything at all.

All of which above is irrelevant to my point of however long ago it was, which was ---- *WHERE* did the WaPo (or CNN or whoever) declare that the kid's motivation was racial? Answer: nowhere mon frère. I read your link, and followed the link it linked to, and it ain't there. Which makes this just another SLAPP suit. Which is exactly how I always characterized it and typical ***** McConnell bullshit propaganda.

The invitation to prove me wrong remains open, forever. Feel free to resurrect any old thread to that end on that glorious day in the year 4503 when you actually find it.

Sigh. Gullible's Travels....

The part of the lawsuit that wasn't dismissed had nothing to do with race. It was about Wapo publishing slanderous accusations made in an interview with Phillips. Even though Wapo had conclusive proof on video that Phillips' accusations were false, they continued to publish the interview. For example, they knew with 100% certainty that Sandmann did not block Phillips' retreat, as he claimed.

Again I'm not seeing any link but let's just toss this salad as it stands for now.

Did WaPo publish an interview with Phillips? If so, unless it misrepresented what Phillips said, that's an accurate story. Was the interviewee's account either inaccurate, or slanderous? Well that's on him, it's his words. That doesn't affect the WaPo, which simply REPORTS WHAT HE SAID.

What's crucial here is WHO THE SPEAKER IS. If it's Phillips (or whatever subject) making a slanderous claim, then it's that subject responsible for that claim, not the entity reporting it. You can't change an interviewee's words just because you'd like them to have been something else. That would be dishonest.

But lo, the suit isn't against Phillips is it. None of them are.

That's why I keep asking for any evidence, anywhere, of a news reporting entity --- WaPo, NYT, CNN, NBC, any at all --- who THEMSELVES reported inaccurately. And to date, just to sound like a broken record, I have received Bupkis.

WaPo was trying to save their sleazy ass from humiliation. That's why the settled.

WaPo chose to publish the defamatory statements against Sandmann without performing due diligence to verify that they were true. They were therefore acting negligently when they failed to ascertain the veracity of the defamatory statements they published.

And negligence is all Sandmann, as a private person, had to show. If he was a public figure he would have had to prove they did it intentionally.

"Apologize for"................................ what?

From your own link:


>> On January 19, 2019, the Post also posted to its Twitter page and published to approximately 13 million followers its First Article with the following false and defamatory captions, all within a span of 14 minutes, and all within the same thread:

• “In an interview with The Post, Omaha Tribe elder Nathan Phillips says he ‘felt like the spirit was talking through me’ as teens jeered and mocked him.”
• “He was singing the American Indian Movement song of unity that serves as a ceremony to send the spirits home. ‘It was getting ugly, and I was thinking: ‘I’ve got to find myself an exit out of this situation and finish my song at the Lincoln Memorial.’”
• “Phillips, who fought in the Vietnam War, says in an interview ‘I started going that way, and that guy in the hat stood in my way and we were at an impasse. He just blocked my way and wouldn’t allow me to retreat.’” <<

Whelp, guess what. That's a newspaper QUOTING Philips. Is the quote inaccurate? The fact is Philips DID make the statements, he WAS singing a NAm song, and the teens DID jeer and mock him --- "tomahawk chops" are right there in the video.

YOUR OWN LINK, Dumbass. Rotsa ruck with egomaniac attorneys getting their names in print by filing frivolous lawsuits for which they have no evidence. This will be laughed out of court, as it should be.

You posted this sentiment MANY times in different threads. You look pretty ******* stupid right now. Your predictions are trash.

Exactly. Just think of the discovery evidence that would have been made public. Internal WaPo emails of them regarding what lies to tell each day. It wouldn't surprise me if they settled for more than $750 million to avoid that. A cool $1 billion isn't out of the question.

The Washington Post on Friday agreed to settle a monster $250 million lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann over its botched coverage of his 2019 encounter with a Native American elder.

Sandmann declared the victory in a tweet on his 18th birthday. It’s unclear how much the newspaper settled for.

“On 2/19/19, I filed $250M defamation lawsuit against Washington Post. Today, I turned 18 & WaPo settled my lawsuit,” he wrote.

“Thanks to @ToddMcMurtry & @LLinWood for their advocacy. Thanks to my family & millions of you who have stood your ground by supporting me. I still have more to do,” he continued.

It is excellent news to hear that another one of the most vile and prolific anti-USA fake news outlets has been defeated by Sandmann.

While I am sure it was not 250 M, do we have a figure.

No, both CNN and the Washington Post have settled with Sanman but the agreement keeps the amounts confidential.

And "settled" here simply means the parties came to a legal agreement wherein the SLAPP suit stops. It doesn't necessarily mean anything was paid at all, could even mean that a payment went the other way, i.e. "quit harassing us with frivolous litigation or we'll sue YOU".

That might make sense if the Post's grossly inaccurate stories were not a matter of public record. The question was never who was right and who was wrong, but merely how much was Bezos willing to pay to make this embarrassing incident go away.

They are indeed, by their very definition, a matter of public record. That's why I invited anyone and everyone on this board to show actual EVIDENCE of any of these entities printing, broadcasting, or uploading anything libelous. No one has yet ever been able to do so. So if you think you can find us one of these "grossly inaccurate stories", have at it, bring it here and we'll stuff it and put it on the wall.

I've posted their libelous shit 1000 times, at least. Who do you think you're fooling?

• “Phillips, who fought in the Vietnam War, says in an interview ‘I started going that way, and that guy in the hat stood in my way and we were at an impasse. He just blocked my way and wouldn’t allow me to retreat.’” <<

Whelp, guess what. That's a newspaper QUOTING Philips. Is the quote inaccurate? The fact is Philips DID make the statements, he WAS singing a NAm song, and the teens DID jeer and mock him --- "tomahawk chops" are right there in the video.

YOUR OWN LINK, Dumbass. Rotsa ruck with egomaniac attorneys getting their names in print by filing frivolous lawsuits for which they have no evidence. This will be laughed out of court, as it should be.

The Washington Post on Friday agreed to settle a monster $250 million lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann over its botched coverage of his 2019 encounter with a Native American elder.

Sandmann declared the victory in a tweet on his 18th birthday. It’s unclear how much the newspaper settled for.

“On 2/19/19, I filed $250M defamation lawsuit against Washington Post. Today, I turned 18 & WaPo settled my lawsuit,” he wrote.

“Thanks to @ToddMcMurtry & @LLinWood for their advocacy. Thanks to my family & millions of you who have stood your ground by supporting me. I still have more to do,” he continued.

It is excellent news to hear that another one of the most vile and prolific anti-USA fake news outlets has been defeated by the Sandmann.

Thanks for the quote but I went ahead and clicked your link to see the whole thing. First thought, many chuckles at following a headline of the Noo Yawk Post. Nice touch.

--- Which headline declares a "win", but never does essplain how it's a "win". Some of A's lawyers negotiated with some of B's lawyers to the effect of "X number of dollars and we'll make this nuisance suit go away so you don't have to keep traipsing back into court on technicalities", which is the whole game.

--- You DO understand that "250 million dollars" is the amount the suit SOUGHT, not the amount anyone PAID, right? That is, assuming anyone paid anything at all.

All of which above is irrelevant to my point of however long ago it was, which was ---- *WHERE* did the WaPo (or CNN or whoever) declare that the kid's motivation was racial? Answer: nowhere mon frère. I read your link, and followed the link it linked to, and it ain't there. Which makes this just another SLAPP suit. Which is exactly how I always characterized it and typical ***** McConnell bullshit propaganda.

The invitation to prove me wrong remains open, forever. Feel free to resurrect any old thread to that end on that glorious day in the year 4503 when you actually find it.

Sigh. Gullible's Travels....

The part of the lawsuit that wasn't dismissed had nothing to do with race. It was about Wapo publishing slanderous accusations made in an interview with Phillips. Even though Wapo had conclusive proof on video that Phillips' accusations were false, they continued to publish the interview. For example, they knew with 100% certainty that Sandmann did not block Phillips' retreat, as he claimed.

Again I'm not seeing any link but let's just toss this salad as it stands for now.

Did WaPo publish an interview with Phillips? If so, unless it misrepresented what Phillips said, that's an accurate story. Was the interviewee's account either inaccurate, or slanderous? Well that's on him, it's his words. That doesn't affect the WaPo, which simply REPORTS WHAT HE SAID.

What's crucial here is WHO THE SPEAKER IS. If it's Phillips (or whatever subject) making a slanderous claim, then it's that subject responsible for that claim, not the entity reporting it. You can't change an interviewee's words just because you'd like them to have been something else. That would be dishonest.

But lo, the suit isn't against Phillips is it. None of them are.

That's why I keep asking for any evidence, anywhere, of a news reporting entity --- WaPo, NYT, CNN, NBC, any at all --- who THEMSELVES reported inaccurately. And to date, just to sound like a broken record, I have received Bupkis.

WaPo was trying to save their sleazy ass from humiliation. That's why the settled.

Exactly. Just think of the discovery evidence that would have been made public. Internal WaPo emails of them regarding what lies to tell each day. It wouldn't surprise me if they settled for more than $750 million to avoid that. A cool $1 billion isn't out of the question.

Whatever emails, conversations, phone calls etc they had internally are completely irrelevant to anything unless you want Geheime Staatspolizei eavesdropping on everybody's conversations. What matters for a news paper is what they PUBLISH.

WaPo chose to publish the defamatory statements against Sandmann without performing due diligence to verify that they were true. They were therefore acting negligently when they failed to ascertain the veracity of the defamatory statements they published.

And negligence is all Sandmann, as a private person, had to show. If he was a public figure he would have had to prove they did it intentionally.

"Defamatory statements" you can't show, that's number one.

Here's number two:
You don't *NEED* to verify anybody's statements when you interview them. The interviewee is not a ******* reporter. You report what they said, accurately, whether it's true, false, speculation, opinion, defamatory or a ******* trigonometry equation. The news there is "SUBJECT SAID X". PERIOD, FULL STOP, WAITER CHECK PLEASE, CUE FAT LADY, ROLL CREDITS, FADE TO BLACK, FIN.

If you DON'T report what they said accurately, THEN you're in doodoo. The fact that your ass hurts over what the subject had to say is irrelevant to anything.

While I am sure it was not 250 M, do we have a figure.

It could be that much. Usually the defendants in these kind of lawsuits demand a non-disclosure agreement when they settle for an embarrassingly large amount of money that would invite further lawsuits against their corporation.

So it's safe to say The Sandmann is $millions richer.

Maybe Sandman did get $250 million, who knows? After all, the Washington Post is Jeff Bezos' propaganda sheet, so what's $250 million to the richest man in the world?

He wouldn't get that for a suit that can't even show any evidence for itself. The federal judge already threw it out for that reason. All we can read out of the word "settled" here is that the litigation ceases -- under whatever the terms are. Anyone can declare a "win", what they can't do, like the suit itself, is prove it. Hell I could declare myself the crown prince of Bhutan who does brain surgery while flying a 747 but without actual evidence it remains a waste product of the Imaginarium.

The judge didn't throw it out, he dismissed it after Sandman's lawyers got the check and dropped the suit.

It got tossed last year. See above, post 422.

See, there's actual court decisions, and then there's Tweeter and Fecesbook and the Noo Yawk Post. Guess which one's credible.

And yet according to the Washington Post,

Attorneys for the Sandmanns filed to dismiss the suit Friday morning in federal district court in Covington. Neither side disclosed the terms of the settlement, which foreclosed the possibility of a trial.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/washington-post-settles-lawsuit-with-family-of-kentucky-teenager/2020/07/24/ae42144c-cdbd-11ea-b0e3-d55bda07d66a_story.html

Yes, we already know that. "The suit is dropped", end of story.

That of course doesn't mean my invitation to find any evidence for any of these suits is dropped, whether there's a suit pending or not. If such evidence exists anywhere I'd like to see it. Just for the point of reading comprehension.

Again this goes back to "suit settled, we won!" versus "No, suit settled, we won!" There is no "won" without any evidence thereto, and the terms of settlement specifically prohibit that. So all we're left with is the Noo Yawk Post milking emotion headlines from Gullibles.

lol What evidence are you talking about?

You're about to show me. Watch this.

The Post published a wilding [sic] inaccurate story in which it accused Sandman of taking an aggressive stance against Philips who was just trying to walk across the site.

Ah, did they now.

------- Where is it? Let's all read it together. Link it.

The Post is a newspaper. If they published something, then it exists. If it exists, show it to us. That's been the challenge ever since this malarkey myth began.

Absent that, there is no such evidence for your claim that the Post published anything, now is there.
And the same is true of the suit.

See, "it feels like this happened" or "some people say this happened" is not evidence. EVIDENCE is evidence.
If such evidence exists, it can be demonstrated. If it does not exist --- it can't. Couldn't be simpler.

 

[Godboy]

And he's just beginning! MAGA Nick Sandmanngave them 48 hours to apologize and was met with silence. Oh well, time to crack that whip!




Lawsuit in link.
For truth, for justice, for Nicholas!

How inconvenient that they STILL have no evidence, huh.

I put that challenge out a MONTH ago and never got a response. Not a single one. Zero.
"Apologize for"................................ what?

From your own link:


>> On January 19, 2019, the Post also posted to its Twitter page and published to approximately 13 million followers its First Article with the following false and defamatory captions, all within a span of 14 minutes, and all within the same thread:

• “In an interview with The Post, Omaha Tribe elder Nathan Phillips says he ‘felt like the spirit was talking through me’ as teens jeered and mocked him.”
• “He was singing the American Indian Movement song of unity that serves as a ceremony to send the spirits home. ‘It was getting ugly, and I was thinking: ‘I’ve got to find myself an exit out of this situation and finish my song at the Lincoln Memorial.’”
• “Phillips, who fought in the Vietnam War, says in an interview ‘I started going that way, and that guy in the hat stood in my way and we were at an impasse. He just blocked my way and wouldn’t allow me to retreat.’” <<

Whelp, guess what. That's a newspaper QUOTING Philips. Is the quote inaccurate? The fact is Philips DID make the statements, he WAS singing a NAm song, and the teens DID jeer and mock him --- "tomahawk chops" are right there in the video.

YOUR OWN LINK, Dumbass. Rotsa ruck with egomaniac attorneys getting their names in print by filing frivolous lawsuits for which they have no evidence. This will be laughed out of court, as it should be.

Yes, we already know that. "The suit is dropped", end of story.

That of course doesn't mean my invitation to find any evidence for any of these suits is dropped, whether there's a suit pending or not. If such evidence exists anywhere I'd like to see it. Just for the point of reading comprehension.

Again this goes back to "suit settled, we won!" versus "No, suit settled, we won!" There is no "won" without any evidence thereto, and the terms of settlement specifically prohibit that. So all we're left with is the Noo Yawk Post milking emotion headlines from Gullibles.

Tabloid "reporting" on lawsuits is a slippery sleazy operation that can be twisted any number of ways. For instance we're reminded of the time Donald Rump sued the NFL on behalf of the USFL for being a monopoly. Guess what --- he won that suit. The court ordered the NFL to pay damages in the total of one dollar. So Rump "won" that suit, and the USFL collapsed, so who "won".

Sandmann won you uneducated liar. You are now a totally embarrassed raving moron who cries Sandmann lost when WaPo ADMITTED guilt by settling. That's two wins so it's now Sandmann 2 Slogo 0. No matter how much you lie and cry, you lost. Period

 

[Pogo]

And he's just beginning! MAGA Nick Sandmanngave them 48 hours to apologize and was met with silence. Oh well, time to crack that whip!




Lawsuit in link.
For truth, for justice, for Nicholas!

How inconvenient that they STILL have no evidence, huh.

I put that challenge out a MONTH ago and never got a response. Not a single one. Zero.
"Apologize for"................................ what?

From your own link:


>> On January 19, 2019, the Post also posted to its Twitter page and published to approximately 13 million followers its First Article with the following false and defamatory captions, all within a span of 14 minutes, and all within the same thread:

• “In an interview with The Post, Omaha Tribe elder Nathan Phillips says he ‘felt like the spirit was talking through me’ as teens jeered and mocked him.”
• “He was singing the American Indian Movement song of unity that serves as a ceremony to send the spirits home. ‘It was getting ugly, and I was thinking: ‘I’ve got to find myself an exit out of this situation and finish my song at the Lincoln Memorial.’”
• “Phillips, who fought in the Vietnam War, says in an interview ‘I started going that way, and that guy in the hat stood in my way and we were at an impasse. He just blocked my way and wouldn’t allow me to retreat.’” <<

Whelp, guess what. That's a newspaper QUOTING Philips. Is the quote inaccurate? The fact is Philips DID make the statements, he WAS singing a NAm song, and the teens DID jeer and mock him --- "tomahawk chops" are right there in the video.

YOUR OWN LINK, Dumbass. Rotsa ruck with egomaniac attorneys getting their names in print by filing frivolous lawsuits for which they have no evidence. This will be laughed out of court, as it should be.

You posted this sentiment MANY times in different threads. You look pretty ******* stupid right now. Your predictions are trash.

I didn't make any "predictions". Go learn how to read.

You literally said "this will be laughed out of the court". Haha, your predictions suck AND you're dumb. Go learn how to read.

That already happened. A friggin' year ago. See post 422. Way to keep up.
