Bertelsman noted that the Post never mentioned Sandmann by name in its initial coverage of the incident

Hmmm. Why is he limiting his analysis to the "initial" coverage?

SO basically the judge is not denying there was defamation, just that if there was a plaintiff, the paper never targeted any one in particular ... Nah, I mean, the paper just promoted a general lynching of people with hats using inuendos, in collective disruption of peace frenzy, but no RICO grief in there to see...

What utter hypocrite bull sht

Exactly. Lots of money involved.

Another left wing judge. Moving on to the appeal stage. It is a slam dunk win for the kid when they get a fair judge.

Check the judge’s bank account (especially the one he might have in Switzerland) for some recent large deposits.

I wonder if he farmed out the judgement in Mueller fashion.

Yeah that makes no sense. IANAL, but I thought generally speaking questions of fact are to be determined at the trial - not by the judge. The judge could toss a case for a lot of reasons, particularly on matters of law. But the question of whether the plaintiff was defamed should be decided by the jury and by the discovery of all the evidence not just the “initial story”. Maybe a lawyer can chime in.

I don’t imagine they thought it would be easy.

Our domestic enemies are each inspired by others to do all they personally can against America.

Note that they didn't mention the judge's age [83 years old].

Little doubt that he's senile, and that his law clerks wrote this opinion.

“It is a slam dunk win for the kid when they get a fair judge.”

Yeah, but it’s the “fair judge” part that’s the sticking point.

The establishment doesn’t like to lose to the peons. So the scales of justice will have a heavy thumb on them.

Nicholas Sandmann is every bit as “native American” as that old Indian bastard with the tom toms.
