BS...

[lasereye]

Bertelsman noted that the Post never mentioned Sandmann by name in its initial coverage of the incident

Hmmm. Why is he limiting his analysis to the "initial" coverage?

[JudgemAll]

SO basically the judge is not denying there was defamation, just that if there was a plaintiff, the paper never targeted any one in particular ... Nah, I mean, the paper just promoted a general lynching of people with hats using inuendos, in collective disruption of peace frenzy, but no RICO grief in there to see...

What utter hypocrite bull sht

[Revolutionary]

Another left wing judge. Moving on to the appeal stage. It is a slam dunk win for the kid when they get a fair judge.

Carter appointee

83 year old Carter appointed judge.

[libertylover]

I don’t imagine they thought it would be easy.

[Iowa Granny]

But they used his picture with The accompanied article...

[MarvinStinson]

Bertelsman was nominated by President Jimmy Carter

[kiryandil]

Note that they didn't mention the judge's age [83 years old].

Little doubt that he's senile, and that his law clerks wrote this opinion.

Tyrant

Nicholas Sandmann is every bit as “native American” as that old Indian bastard with the tom toms.

[Bommer]

Would the rules apply if I say people should beat the crap out of black robed Carter appointed judges sine I didn’t name him?

[Deplorable American1776]

Liberal judge is in bed with Jeff Bozo the Clown I guess...

[Shethink13]

The judge also ruled that the newspaper used language that was "loose, figurative," and "rhetorical hyperbole" which is protected by the First Amendment.

I’m confused...was the “initial coverage” of the incident an editorial? If not I guess according to this judge straight news reporting is okay even if it’s “loose, figurative and rhetorical hyperbole” rather than fact. In other words news outlets can just make stuff up?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Yes indeed

[Tired of Taxes]

The fight has only just begun. It’s not over yet.

[SteveH]

will be appealed by family according to the article...

[CatOwner]

All about pivoting the narrative back to racist Trump supporters in light of the Mueller hearings not being the end of Trump (yet!).

[wardaddy]

Sandman p’s lawyer is top shelf southern accented slick as shit lawyer for this sort of thing

He’s a giant killer with a track record

[OttawaFreeper]

I recall some liberal judge in Florida threw out George Zimmerman’s lawsuit against NBC over the deliberately edited 911 call featured on Dateline NBC. That should have been a slam dunk as well.
