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. And this is the most recent thread regarding the lawsuit.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 26Funny none of these Smirk-boi wankers had the stones to post that. An "oversight" I'm sure.

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

That might make sense if the Post's grossly inaccurate stories were not a matter of public record.

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".
The judge didn't throw it out, he dismissed it after Sandman's lawyers got the check and dropped the suit.Maybe Sandman did get $250 million, who knows?

“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.
So it's safe to say The Sandmann is $millions richer.
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.
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.No, both CNN and the Washington Post have settled with Sanman but the agreement keeps the amounts confidential.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. And this is the most recent thread regarding the lawsuit.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.

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

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.
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.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.

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 Bitch McConnell bullshit propaganda.

You're barking up the wrong tree there buddy. I and you know that the fake news media slandered and criticized Sandmann for one primary reason. He was wearing a MAGA hat.It could be that much.

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.

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.
So it's safe to say The Sandmann is $millions richer.
What's safe to say is that you're a gullible idiot. Noo Yawk Post declares the kid "wins" and you swallow hook line and sinker.
Noo Yawk Post also printed, in your own link, that the defendant "claimed the incident was racially motivated", and even put a hyperlink on that phrase, which link then completely FAILED to show any evidence thereof.
Which is the same question I kept burning here since January of 2019 or whatever year it was. I put out an open invitation. After a year and a half I still have ZERO evidence. And the judge who already threw the case out found the same thing.
