Gathering additional research, Jonathan Schroder embarked on making his documentary. The Boys In Red Hats puts the events and people involved in a new light, with interviews from journalists, academics, alumni, a student (not Sandmann) that was present, parents and others to dissect what happened. The documentary also explores what passes for journalism nowadays, with its emphasis on immediacy over accuracy.

I hope it is a balanced treatment.
The moment I read, “I hoped Covington implemented a diversity education”, I lost any thought that it could be balanced.
I know that I’ve read that he was expected to get some vert serious $$$ from at least several “news” outlets.Has anyone heard of any settlements/awards he’s already gotten?
The first “unarmed Capitol holocaust”...
No and probably never will! It is 'boilerplate' language for settlement of these kind of legal actions that the victor cannot disclose the details (money) on pain of forfeiture of the same! Thus, all we hear is that Nick Sandmann and Company X has settled a legal action brought by Mr Sandmann.
This is pretty standard for almost all such cases. If it gets disclosed by a 3rd party unassociated with the Plaintiff (Sandmann), then there can be, and has been, another expensive legal battle to try to void the original settlement by the company sued. Given that the media is almost universally on the LEFT, I do not expect any crusading reporter to make such an attempt.
They are probably blowing each other...
“...what passes for journalism nowadays, with its emphasis on immediacy over accuracy.”
FAIL!
It’s the emphasis on telling A story over telling THE story.
Also known as propaganda.
...or, more commonly called...LYING
Criminals In Action
You’ll never hear the amount of $$$ he got. If you’ve ever been in a lawsuit and received a settlement- as i did from a major sports network- part of the agreement is you cannot reveal the $$$ amount of your settlement or even talk about it.
I’m sure this kid has already received upwards of $500 mill from his settlements.
When you are reading Forbes, you reading a publication that is one the most recent takeovers by the Marxists.
You noted: “The moment I read, “I hoped Covington implemented a diversity education”, I lost any thought that it could be balanced.”
THAT one line was the goal of the Forbes writer, the goal in presenting the story, just to get to that line. Forbes is all about the Marxist narratives today.
There’s a click I can never get back.
