That is so HORRIBLE.
I almost had the vapors when I read that.

Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann announced Friday that he settled a $275 million defamation lawsuit against NBC.
Neither party publicized the terms of the settlement. However, Sandmann asked for $275 million in damages in his lawsuit against NBC Universal and MSNBC.
“At this time I would like to release that NBC and I have reached a settlement,” Sandmann tweeted. “The terms are confidential.
”NBC is the third corporate media organization to settle with Sandmann after he and his classmates were accused of mocking Native American activist Nathan Phillips during last January’s March for Life event. Sandmann was wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat while he stood close to Phillips with an apparent smirk on his face that was widely noted and mocked.Many in the media painted Sandmanmn as an aggressive racist who initiated the conflict with Phillips. However, an independent investigation concluded there was “no evidence that the students performed a ‘Build the wall’ chant.”
In the days after the media’s attacks on Sandmann, witness cell phone footage showed that Phillips initially approached Sandmann. Footage also showed that a group of Black Hebrew Israelites confronted both Sandmann’s and Phillips’ groups well before the two were face to face.

I hope he got a few million anyway.
A saloon whore is more moral than the MSM.
That's raciss? Learn something new every day. Let's go, Brandon.
Next up.....KYLE RITTENHOUSE!
+1
Usually, in the reality I’m from, when an employee costs the company he works for a quarter of a billion dollars, that employee is fired, gone, kaput, yet I can’t think of anyone from NBC who was fired
I hope Kyle has already started the process....
....he deserves all he can get
He was defamed 6 ways from Sunday!
This Sandman is real and now real rich. Better than the sci-fi character.
Good point. My guess is that it was a low number. Lower than many here want to believe.
Even Breitbart writes it wrong. Sandman held his ground. Phillips came over and 'stood close to" Nicholas. They state it later on but this is written incorrectly.
Rich kid.
This is #3. He settled with CNN and the Washington Post earlier. 13 more to go including ABC/CBS/NPR.
We’ll never know how much they settled for. Our side doesn’t leak even though the defendants need to have their noses rubbed into it deep-keeps it for happening in the future.
The legal documents always include a ‘no acknowledgement of anything wrong being committed’ by both sides.
NBC Universal/MSNBC is Comcast (more correctly, Comcrap).
It’s never a bad time to cut the Xfinity cable.
What did the toothless Indian get? A string of beads?
This Mr. Sandman doesn’t have hair like Liberace but his (and all his money) lonesome nights are over.
That is so HORRIBLE.

Wonderful. Every win is more protection from leftist media lies.
If it is a quick settlement, it’s a nuisance reward. So any body settled with Sandmann quickly paid about $50,000, give or take. The alternative would be to drive up lawyers bills, which would eat up the settlement.
With NBC, it must considerably more since this one went on quite a while. Probably upwards of half a million, or so.
I’m glad he’s being set up for a free education and few million for retirement, if he invests his debt free income properly.
