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.

If you want the payday, you don’t ever leak.
Have you ever heard a peep from any of Rush Limbaugh’s first three wives? Nope. They know where their bread is buttered.
I think around $10 million also.
Sandmann apparently sued CNN and the Washington Post for $250 million EACH and they both settled. While the settlement amount has not been disclosed, I’m guessing it is at least in the millions.
A saloon whore is more moral than the MSM.

True beyond a shadow of a doubt. Unfortunately it appears that the majority of people in the West, and especially in America, have been so successfully indoctrinated they are simply incapable of understanding the dire consequences of that fact.
What did the toothless Indian get? A string of beads?

sorry the gov gets nothing of this settlement, its not income
In a lot times settled law suits with non disclosure cannot be used is subsequent suits. Usually part of the agreement is non culpability. Not sure that enters in.

It is true that terms of a settled law suit with non disclosure cannot be used without violating the agreement.
BUT, both sides know that an agreement has been reached and that means that the plaintiff i.e. Sandman's side won.
If cnn had believed that were right and going to win, they would have taken it all the way, both to trial as well as appeal.
Any objective person looking at the evidence, i.e. the video that is readily available and NON-DISPUTABLE, indicates that the media companies are at fault.
Knowing that you have a losing position, you settle and when you do, you are in a position of weakness.
Sandman was a rookie, but his attorneys were pros and knew that they had the media companies by the short hair and were not going to roll over for a cheezy coupla million bucks.
There is no way that they got close to the $275 million, but to believe that they settled for any seven figure amount is just ridiculous.
I doubt that they hit a $100 million, but the high 60-70s wouldn't surprise me.
A million bucks ain't what it used to be, since there are over 22,400,000 people in the USA that are millionaires.

3 years to the day. I may have to spend more but be assured that justice will be served.
