Yes, sir. From now on I'll only slander famous people, 'cause they gotta prove malice, and regular people don't.

An attorney representing Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann said Wednesday that he filed a $275 million defamation lawsuit against NBC Universal on Sandmann's behalf.
“Today, @LLinWood and I filed a $275,000,000 lawsuit against NBCUniversal on behalf of Nicholas Sandmann. The facts of the suit show the anti-Trump narrative NBC pushed so hard,” attorney Todd V. McMurtry wrote in a tweet Wednesday afternoon.
The tweet included a link to the 179-page complaint filed by McMurtry and L. Lin Wood, another attorney representing Sandmann, that accused the network of publishing “false and defamatory accusation” against Sandmann in its coverage of him earlier this year.
In the lawsuit filed Wednesday, the complaint accuses NBC Universal of attacking Sandmann in its coverage by “relying heavily on biased and unreliable sources without conducting any reasonable investigation of the circumstances surrounding the January 18 incident.”
“NBCUniversal’s attacks on Nicholas included at least fifteen defamatory television broadcasts, six defamatory online articles, and many tweets falsely accusing Nicholas and his Covington Catholic High School ('CovCath') classmates of racists acts,” the complaint states.
According to the lawsuit, Sandmann is seeking $75 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damages.
ETC...
He may have enough money to donate a wing :)
Bump
I’d like to be on that jury. But...
My non-lawyer opinion is the media now want this done.
I think they will push to settle.
They don’t want this dragging into 2020 as an example of
their blatantly biased reporting while they are covering Trumps campaign.
He would piss on them 24/7.
I like it.
Just make sure mouth breather Savannah Guthrie gets a big financial penalty.
It's all Goebbels-inspired propaganda: "that teenager, you know, the one from..." is much more easily forgotten, dismissed, or "my eyes glaze over" than
NICK SANDMAN, SETUP BY ACTIVISTS AND ATTACKED WORLDWIDE IN THE PRESS FOR SMILING.
He exercised much better judgement than I would have in the same situation. That dirtbag fake indian would be on back minus a few teeth.
And one of the biggest lies is that he was “staring down” the Indian. It’s clear from the videos that his eyes were looking straight ahead of him, and not directed toward the Indian rabble rouser. Nobody ever mentions that.
MR. SANDMANN (SUE NBC)
Tune: “Mr. Sandman (Bring Me a Dream)”
Mr. Sandmann, sue NBC
Make them the maddest that they’ll ever be
Go for at least, say, two hundred million
Then tell them if they won’t be nice, one billion!
Sandmann, I’m on your side
Don’t like those networks, the way they lied
Please turn loose your legal team
Mr. Sandmann, make it extreme!
Mr. Sandmann, sue CNN
Make them the saddest that they’ve ever been
Send word to Wolf and tell Jim Acosta
Just tell them that your phony news will cost ya!
Sandmann, I’m on your side
Don’t like those networks, the way they lied
Please turn loose your legal team
Mr. Sandmann, make it extreme!
Mr. Sandmann (yes), that Washington Post--
Give them some tearful eyes, that’s what I’d like the most
When they’ve had broken hearts, then I enjoyed it
I must admit, I love some Schadenfreude!
Mr. Sandmann, some say it’s cold
But I’d be happy if you get their gold
So please turn loose your legal team
Mr. Sandmann, make it, please, please, please
Mr. Sandmann, make it extreme!
