The cynicism here is laughable. With an 18 you old client who already has a pile of money from kicking CNN’s ass so he has all the time in the world, and a layer as skilled and scary to the left as Wood, why would Wood settle for 10%? Please think this through.

Long ago I came to the realization suing these large billionaire owned lefty companies, lefty run government entities or left organizations is fruitless. Think the IRS vs TEA Party, WAPO & NYT libel, and unions. They have the deep pockets backing and often settle for less under non-disclosures leaving them unhurt to continue their malfeasance. A better way to go, I think, is suing the specific individuals personally in civil court. Even if they get help form their wealthy lefty benefactors, over time the hurt should cause other lefty troops to think twice about following through with their illegal and unjust war the Constitution and our rights. Not a lawyer but this makes sense to me.

Regards.

https://www.fox19.com/2020/07/24/sandmann-announces-lawsuit-settled-with-washington-post/

By FOX19 Digital Staff | July 24, 2020 at 11:01 AM EDT - Updated July 24 at 11:10 AM

COVINGTON, Ky. (FOX19) - Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann announced in a tweet Friday he’s settled with the Washington Post in one of eight lawsuits he’s filed against media outlets in connection with an incident at the March for Life in Washington D.C. in 2019.

The Washington Post suit sought $250 million.

The settlement amount was not immediately available.

CNN reportedly agreed to a settlement in a suit in January, though the settlement’s dollar figure also was not disclosed.

No doubt. The settlement was way north of 10 million though.
Wood would have gone to trial over a 10 million offer.

If he got 10 million, he's set up.

How much after the lawyers' take? Odds are good anything the lawyers get will be funneled back into the DNC/BLM/Biden.

I hope he pulls a KK Hichikawa on all of them. You know, the Japanese Whale in the movie Casino who cleaned out and turned out the lights on a couple of casinos in the Cayman Islands.

You go dude! Clean em out!

Settled means that no one is allowed to talk.

If Nick or his side tells the amount, they will be required to re-pay that amount plus penalties.

There will be FReepers guessing and some will claim to have 'inside info' but from those that know, the answer will be no.

Each win improves his chances winning against the other media. It also increases his chance for more out-of-court settlements with larger pay-outs.

Great!

Should have sued for a billion, though.

The important point of this story is that the WaPo settled the suit, because it wouldn’t defend its shoddy “journalism”. The amount of the settlement is secondary to the fact that WaPo loses and Sandmann wins. This is a blow to the reputation, name, and credibility of Bezos’s rag.
