Sheesh!
The ‘truism’ is “bodes ill will ...”

The judge’s order that discovery can continue means Sandmann’s legal team can make requests for internal Washington Post documents concerning the events like emails and communications between editors and reporters.

Hope this young man wins his case.
What the media did to him was horrible.
To: RummyChick
what happened here? Did the case get remanded after Lin Wood appealed it?
After Sandmann filed suit, the Washington Post lawyers filed a Motion to Dismiss. The judge then made an order granting the Washington Post's Motion to Dismiss. When the judge made that order, he stated the legal reasons for making it. Sandmann's lawyers then filed a Motion to Reconsider (reconsider the judges order granting the Motion to Dismiss) stating the legal reasons the judge was wrong. The judge could either deny it, in which case Sandmann's lawyers would have appealed it to the 6th Circuit, or he could grant it and put the case back on track. The judge granted it, basically saying he was incorrect in dismissing it.
Judges do not like to admit they were wrong and grant Motions to Reconsider, my guess is that the judge knew the MOD would get overturned in the 6th so he granted the MTR.

The truism is bodes ill will ... I got this started wrong by saying truism rather than idiom BUT ... I CHALLENGE!
"Bode" is the active here as a synonym for 'indicates' or 'augers' and as such accepts equally a negative like 'ill' or a positive like 'well'. In the referenced sentence, I believe the obvious intent was to "bode well"! [Tongue firmly extended!]

Go get ‘em, Lin.
If the Washington Compost, CNN, and NBC are forced into bankruptcy, perhaps a legitimate, sane, non-partisan press corps will finally emerge from the ashes.
To: MMaschin
Thank you for that clear explanation.

I do not believe that this report is true.

“, I believe the obvious intent was to “bode well”’
er, a ruling against the media BODES ILL WILL for them.
To: TexasGator
REF: "
er, a ruling against the media BODES ILL WILL for them."
ORIGINAL: The ruling bodes will for the NBC and CNN cases, as well.
Again no editor apparent. For clarity I'd rewrite as follows;
"The ruling [also] bodes well for the [suits against] NBC and CNN." [ ] = my changes.

Hahaha
Since this has become a Game of Grammar, may I play, too?
The wheels of justice do not “move slowly”. They “GRIND slowly, but exceedingly fine.”
Just sayin’.
