Now you know: CNN paid big bucks and Sandman is a wealthy man. If all the other perpetrators pay a similar amount, then he'll reap about $350 million.

About a year ago, Nick Sandmann was a young man on a trip to the nation's capital — and then we know the rest of the story. He was trashed in the media and turned into some devil harassing a Native American bystander. To be short, a lot of crazy things were said about this young man. As the father of three young men, I was furious.

Well, it appears that Nick and company may have the last laugh, as we see in this report:

Sandmann beat CNN (the other suits are pending), which settled and paid rather than risk a trial. Assuming credibility and self-respect are worth about zero, we now know that the price tag for the agenda journalism CNN practices is reportedly $25 million. That amount is probably half of what​

The other defendants aren't going to get off so cheaply.

Making the settlement was the right move for CNN, puts them at a competitive advantage as the others have an unknown liability on their books.

CNN would have paid anything to keep from having to do what they feared most...admit they were caught lying again. They paid up to keep it confidential. I’m glad they got slammed though. Against their money, power and international connections individuals are usually helpless before them. Even Pre-Trump presidents were vulnerable to their tactics.

CNN's Ratings Would Be Worse Without Its Manufactured Audience

CNN has deals with nearly 60 airports to be the exclusive broadcast, paying an annual premium and even supplying the televisions for the right. The network controls these TV sets, meaning workers cannot change the channels nor even lower the volume.

Travelers’ distemper at this is understandable. To say that CNN has been trafficking in anti-Trump fervor is more than partisan supposition; it is a measurable fact. The Harvard Kennedy School Shorenstein Center on Media has studied the press coverage, and it is far more than a biased slant taking place, it is an obsession.


Following his inauguration, President Trump was receiving more than three times the amount of news coverage than prior administrations. Compared to negative coverage of past presidents, it is blatant. From Bill Clinton to Barack Obama there have been slight imbalances in ratio, in and around
a rate of three to two. Donald Trump has been granted 80 percent negative news stories—and with more than three times the volume of reports.

Even with these assured audience access methods, whether compulsory cable inclusion or catering the broadcast output at travel destinations, CNN finds itself slipping further out of the realm of influence. The channel has a number of rigged standards in its favor, yet it is rapidly falling out of favor with viewers. The effort to compare themselves to of an up-and-coming outlet to lend forced perspective on its ratings cannot hide these realities.
