FULL TITLE: CNN to be sued for more than $250M over 'vicious' and 'direct attacks' on Covington High student: lawyer
CNN is likely to be hit with a massive lawsuit worth more than $250 million over alleged “vicious” and “direct attacks” on Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann, his lawyer has told Fox News.
Lawyer L. Lin Wood discussed his decision to sue CNN for its reporting and coverage of his client during an interview that will air on Fox News Channel’s “Life, Liberty & Levin” on Sunday at 10 p.m. ET.
“CNN was probably more vicious in its direct attacks on Nicholas than The Washington Post. And CNN goes into millions of individuals' homes,” Wood told Fox News host and best-selling author Mark Levin.
“They really went after Nicholas with the idea that he was part of a mob that was attacking the Black Hebrew Israelites, yelling racist slurs at the Black Hebrew Israelites. Totally false.
“Now you say you've seen the tape; if you took the time to look at the full context of what happened that day, Nicholas Sandmann did absolutely nothing wrong. He was, as I've said to others, he was the only adult in the room. But you have a situation where CNN couldn't resist the idea that here's a guy with a young boy, that Make America Great Again cap on. So they go after him.”
Wood continued: “The CNN folks were online on Twitter at 7 a.m retweeting the little one-minute propaganda piece that had been put out. … They're out there right away going after this young boy. And they maintain it for at least two days. Why didn't they stop and just take an hour and look through the Internet and find the truth and then report it? Maybe do...

getting very interesting
Do you realize how shocked the CNN people must feel?
They slander DJT all day. They make treasonous proclamations and urge sanctuary city mayors to defy the law. They twist the news to omit crimes by favored minorities. And they urge a coup to remove the president we elected legally.
Then they get sued for something. A shock to those arrogant, self centered s.o.b.s.
bump
The “allege” virus hits FNN.
Mr. SANDMAN,
Millionaires Club!
Trump is a public figure and as such not protected. Here’s the real problem for CNN, the kid did nothing, not a public figure and a minor. That’s the golden trifecta for Lin Woods. Betty yet he has anoty80 suits to file. This now an industry for him.
What did Sue ever do the have the lawyers rip off her name for such a court procedure?
Good..Sue them for all they are worth, CNN are worthless scum, same goes for MSNBC
You should see the idiocy on twitter, which are run by leftists..you know what is trending #1 right now..FAKEMELANIA, yeah the leftist freaks think that the Melania that came to Alabama yesterday was NOT really Melania but a body double LOL..yes its scary, we walk among these freaks everyday
Take. Them. To. The. F**king. Cleaners. Kids!
Absolutely true a public figure like Trump has no protection from CNN.
I shouldn’t have implied otherwise in describing the arrogant slandering CNN is used to. If I call Nadler fat and get indicted we’ll know we are in trouble, though.
“Your honor, I present these three men over 450 pounds each from the Ebelman Carnival and Circus Enterprise Company and I will show that Rep. Nadler is actually rather slender.”
Attorney Lin Wood did some good work for Richard Jewell falsely implicated in the bombing at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 by the MSM.
I am ex-MSM and even took a media law course at the university.
You win in court when you can prove the intent of the people in the media was hurt someone is what I learned back then, when you can prove the media people had negative opinions of the people they are reporting on.
I think we can see it here.
Outside of my home and the Free Republic women, where would somebody find a woman to double for Melania undetected?
One of the really great sides to this is it is setting a precedent. I expect the days that media doesn’t have to investigate their sources and information are over and it’s about time. No more throwing damaging lies around to fit their bias.
“The “allege” virus hits FNN.”
Too bad it’s not a pandemic. It would have made the reporting on Kavanaugh (for just one recent example) far better. Unfortunately, most of the left-leaning media seems to have gotten an ‘inoculation’ — and the presumption of innocence is in sick bay.
well there was that whole Hillary Body-double thing after her 9-11 collapse like a side of beef into the van tyoe of thing, only to dance around and receive flowers from a little girl like 20 minutes later....Pepe remembers...
And if there is a Fake Melania....that means there is a chance for us guys...cause now there are two goregous women out there....
