Full title: Attorney for Covington Student Nick Sandmann BLASTS WaPo Over Their Weak Attempt at Dodging His Lawsuit, ‘Too Little, Too Late’
Lin Wood, the attorney representing Covington Catholic student Nicholas Sandmann, blasted the Washington Post on Monday over their lame attempt to avoid legal accountability with an Editor’s Note whitewashing their previous coverage of his client.
Sandmann is currently suing the Washington Post for $250 million in compensatory and punitive damages — the same amount that Jeff Bezos purchased the paper for.

A Washington Post article first posted online on Jan. 19 reported on a Jan. 18 incident at the Lincoln Memorial. Subsequent reporting, a student’s statement and additional video allow for a more complete assessment of what occurred, either contradicting or failing to confirm accounts provided in that story — including that Native American activist Nathan Phillips was prevented by one student from moving on, that his group had been taunted by the students in the lead-up to the encounter, and that the students were trying to instigate a conflict. The high school student facing Phillips issued a statement contradicting his account; the bishop in Covington, Ky., apologized for the statement condemning the students; and an investigation conducted for the Diocese of Covington and Covington Catholic High School found the students’ accounts consistent with videos. Subsequent Post coverage, including video, reported these developments: “Viral standoff between a tribal elder and a high schooler is more complicated than it first seemed”; “Kentucky bishop apologizes to Covington Catholic students, says he expects their exoneration”; “Investigation finds no evidence of ‘racist or offensive statements’ in Mall incident.”
A Jan. 22 correction to the original story reads: Earlier versions of this story incorrectly said that Native American activist Nathan Phillips fought in the Vietnam War. Phillips said he served in the U.S. Marines but was never deployed to Vietnam.
WaPo’s editor’s note has as much credibility as Jesse Smollet’s police report.
Nathan Phillips, Stolen Valor phony and likely a fake Injun too.
If used properly by the victims lawyer this is almost an admission of guilt:)
Saying “well, it’s more complicated than we first though” when you are proven to be wrong (or lying, take your pick) is the same as saying “we stand behind our reporting”. It’s far, far from a retraction, a correction, or an apology.
FOAD WaPo for taking the opportunity to publish your lies AGAIN.
Doubling down on bigotry like their god the Fraud taught them.
Yep.
I thought it cost $1.
When libeled student Nick gets ownership he's going to change it to "Sandmann Pro-Life Post."
Ha.
Hahahahahahahaha.
Actually Bezos paid for there’re of the Wa app corporation that included billboards and the like. You know Ted Turner assets. The actuall paper was valued at a buck. That was too generous
True dat.
What Mr. Wood should do is Amend the Lawsuit stating that given the Compost doubled down on their lies, we are doubling the Damages being sought.
500 Million, Baby!
That was Newsweek.
No settlement. No compromise. No acceptance of 'apology'.
WaPo did what it did and MUST be held to account.
Full Tilt Civil Trial is the only option.
