Former CNN Host Sued For Calling Nick Sandmann's Face 'Punchable' In Now-Deleted Tweet

[westwall]

Defamation is a high bar in American law, but the kind of non-repentant and slanderous attacks these young men faced — often for the alleged crime of wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat — arguably meets it.

I suspect that CNN was mostly afraid of the discovery phase and Sandmans lawyers going through all their emails, lol.

More likely CNN threatened to countersue, and the "settlement" was that it all goes away.

The same suit against the WaPo was dismissed out of court last summer. AGAIN, making a case for defamation requires PHYSICAL EVIDENCE. Some documentation that the entity in question knowingly printed, broadcast or otherwise disseminated false information. I invited anyone and everyone on this board to demonstrate any such evidence, which, if it existed, should have been the easiest thing in the world. No one ever came up with anything. Absent such evidence, THERE IS NO CASE. That's why the WaPo case was dismissed --- no evidence.

That is the most retarded thing I have ever heard on this Board.

The WaPo case should have NEVER been dismissed. That judge should be hung up by his you know what!!!

On what basis?

Where IS the evidence?

I gotta tell ya, I have the easiest job here. All I gotta do it pose the unanswerable questions and let the squirming begin. This one's been squirming for almost a year now. I should harness it for energy. I'll be rich.

But thanks for taking the time to look up the point and find out that I was exactly right. You don't have to say so here, I already know.

Easiest job here, and yet you lost a dead bang case according to you.

Piss poor performance if you ask me

The point is that all of those people are horrible and terrible, borderline child abusers. Now, THEIR reputations are suffering, and Tony the Tiger would say that is "GRRRREAT!!!"

I'm actually old enough to get that reference. Wanna play shuffleboard?

Actually the point is that the OP, who lied about his title, left us with an unsourced and unlikely story that nobody can corroborate, suggesting an opinion can be sued. There will always be opinions with which any of us disagree. That doesn't mean we get to fine the opinionated. That's absurd.

Actually, it is not a lie. It says "FORMER CNN host" which he was. Lol.

Okay. PROVE that.
The OP can't do it. He ran away.
I can't do it either. I Googled the guy. He's a writer and religion scholar, but he's not a TV host. I could find no evidence he's ever been employed by CNN in *ANY* capacity.

I would say this was a lot more serious (especially considering it was a 16-year-old boy) than "opinionated." Most people who have children would agree, unless they are completely heartless bastards. He had death threats against him. He is a 16-year-old boy. The leftists really need to get a grip on themselves and stop attacking children for smiling and wearing hats.

*****WHO***** made those death threats? CNN? WaPo? NBC?

****WHO**** made those "attacks"? And where are they? Links? Videos? Quotes?

You can't really be this . . . obtuse? Oh wait, it's Pogo.

Hey, just show me ANY evidence at all.

As I said --- I have the easiest job here. I already know you can't do it.

Squirm, squirm.

You are being ridiculous. The laws have been posted, the evidence has been posted. You are apparently a lost cause.

 

[ChrisL]

I agree. I would much rather punch that face than ANY child's. The leftists are gross. That is all there is too it. They are the SHAME of our nation after this fiasco.

Sandmann likely had a multi-million dollar settlement with CNN, due to paying the TDS afflicted moron Chris Cuomo to publicly defame Sandmann for wearing a MAGA hat. Perhaps the only cure for their TDS is a dollarectomy.

Sandmann has an even better case against NBC and the Washington 'Jimmy's World' Post.

And yet ----- no one here has ever been able to furnish such a broadcast from CNN, such a story from WaPo, etc.

Literally zero.

You can't make the case for defamation in the public mind by mass media and then be UNABLE to show any evidence of that mass media doing it. That's why the court dismissed the WaPo suit. If such evidence is so obscure that you can't even find any, how the HELL is the public going to have been influenced by it?

I'll keep the challenge open for a full year. There's still time. You could be a winner.

Here is a video of Chris Cuomo defaming Nick Sandmann.



Notice that Cuomo sneeringly mentions MAGA hats just before he defames Sandmann by falsely claiming that Sandmann "made it into a standoff". And went into a ridiculous tirade against Trump and segued into the party of slavery and CNNs false narrative using convoluted illogical presumptions that Trump is a racist and therefore if you support the president you are also a racist.

Cuomo's TDS just cost CNN millions of dollars.

The defamation cases against WaPo and NBC are even stronger than the case against CNN.

The Washington 'Jimmy's World' Post knew for a fact that Injun' Nate's accusation that Sandmann blocked him from retreating was completely false. They had the video that proved it was a false accusation. Yet Jimmy's World fake news decided to publish the false accusation nonetheless, and not only that, they even put the fake news on their website and and on YouTube

Here is the proof.




The case against NBC is even stronger.

Did you even watch your own video? The commentator clearly said he doesn't blame the kids --- that's his exact words. Early on he criticizes the Black Hebrew Israelites as well as the absent chaperones. Your "defamation" here does not exist.

He then goes on to observations about the sociopolitical divide, which has nothing to do with the kid.

I have no idea what "Jimmy's World" refers to but as already noted the WaPo suit was dismissed, for lack of evidence. But if you have a link, let's see it. It's only been a frickin' YEAR.

Well, if you are going to be so argumentative about everything, try to follow along and try to educate yourself about the case. Thx.

Isn't truth a complete defence?

 

[ChrisL]

Pogo, the armchair lawyer, has spoken. Case closed.

 

[cnm]

I have knowledge. More than idiots like you and pogo. Did CNN settle with the young man, thus admitting guilt? YES they did.

A settlement is not an admission of guilt. Otherwise Trump admitted racial discrimination in letting to tenants.

He's an argumentative and a stubborn SOB. Lol! Sometimes he's okay though. Only SOMETIMES.

You'll notice the mental midget you're responding to has posted a grand total of nothing on the topic here. Zero.
That's why he's on my Ignore. He wastes our time.

You've already been proven wrong with the CNN settlement. I know you're butthurt and all that, but admit defeat and move on to your next losing proposition.

His thread is perfectly valid. Maybe he had some important things to do, more important than Pogo. Can you believe that? Yes, people have lives that they must attend to and maybe consider that a bit more important than having an argument about . . . well nothing . . . with Pogo. No offence of course.

Some peeps just don't know when to quit. Anyways, regardless of what Pogo claims, the lawsuits are moving forward. CNN has settled and paid up. Great news.

Reza Aslan to Face the Music For Calling Nick Sandmann's Face 'Punchable' In Now-Deleted Tweet

You actually think people can be sued for opinions huh.

Oh and didja notice your link to Media In Pajamas has no source?

Yes they can! Matter of fact, way back when I was a kid, like 8, we had a very VERY marry Christmas due to the law firm my ma worked for suing the fuck out of a guy whose opinion cost another guy his business and allot of money. That said, that stupid twat offered more then an opinion. She lied about this kid saying he was picking on an old Indian Vietnam veteran who turned out to be a liar and was nothing more then a piece of res shit living on welfare. Yup, proud folks them stupid blanked ass's.

Are you schnockered?

Do you even know what "defamation" is? That is an "opinion" as well.

Generally, defamation is a false and unprivileged statement of fact that is harmful to someone's reputation, and published "with fault," meaning as a result of negligence or malice. State laws often define defamation in specific ways. Libel is a written defamation; slander is a spoken defamation.

Online Defamation Law

Looks like what these schmucks did fits the definition. Sorry for you if that gives you a sad.

Did you read his word salad?

I know exactly what libel and slander mean. Media was my career, K? We HAVE TO know.

Wow, media to? You a busy feller. Just because you work a mailroom and make coffee at the local daystar don't mean shit. You are allegedly in the talking part. What happened to Nick Sandman is NOT protected by freedom of the press. They can not lie and get away with it. They basically hung a skinhead tag on the kid and he did nothing. He will be passed over for jobs because of it. So yes, you can be sued for issuing an opinion, even if you are a famous infotwat on TV.
