About a year ago, Nick Sandmann was a young man on a trip to the nation's capital — and then we know the rest of the story. He was trashed in the media and turned into some devil harassing a Native American bystander. To be short, a lot of crazy things were said about this young man. As the father of three young men, I was furious.
Well, it appears that Nick and company may have the last laugh, as we see in this report:
Sandmann beat CNN (the other suits are pending), which settled and paid rather than risk a trial. Assuming credibility and self-respect are worth about zero, we now know that the price tag for the agenda journalism CNN practices is reportedly $25 million. That amount is probably half of what the network spends on botox for Anderson Cooper, but as Cooper's aestheticians are prone to say, it's a start.
With a win in Sandmann's pocket and as his cases against the other media outlets work their way through the courts, others also appear ready to challenge agenda journalism via the defamation laws.
Ten more Covington students are now suing various media.
Elsewhere, writer Peter Brimelow is suing the New York Times for labeling him an "open white nationalist."
Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with Donald Trump, filed suit against Fox a month ago, claiming defamation.
George Zimmerman, who killed Trayvon Martin, filed a defamation suit against HarperCollins, the Martin family lawyer's publisher.
Trump critic and Harvard prof Lawrence Lessig is suing the New York Times, accusing them of publishing "false and defamatory" information about him.
Representative Devin Nunes sued CNN last month, claiming the network defamed him with false reports that he traveled to Vienna

The media should spread the wealth around. Give away that state department money.
$25 million? I didn’t hear this. Great! A little working money for those next on the list — WAPO, Hollywood, etc.
let them rot.
25 million. So let me ask CNN an honest and simple question. Wouldn’t it have been easier and cheaper to hire an honest investigator to look into the incident, inform what really happened, and then retract your “error” and then report the truth? Why was this so hard?
Peanuts for CNN ..was hoping it was in the 100’s of millions..now that would’ve really hurt ...DEARLY!!
The rest of the media is fixing to have their asses handed to them as well. I understand he has at least 8 lawsuits against these scumbags.
And they will ALL settle.
[[and then retract your “error” and then report the truth? Why was this so hard?]]
Because Satan Hates the light (Truth), and everyone associated with Him hates light (Truth), morality and decency- Their hatred blinds them to common sense and decency-
So, it’s $10 million to the attorney and $15 million to Sandmann?
WONDERFUL!!! Gotta start somewhere reminding these creeps what their job is
You didn’t hear it proven here either, just “reports”. Fake news.
CNN is ATT
It’s ATT that settled
$25 million? Great!
Snadmann’s lawyers got $24.99 million and Nick got a coupon for 10% off his next purchase of a CNN package with DirecTV.
I can’t wait for Kathy Griffin to have to pay. I used to be a fan, but she became so extremely vicious when PDJT got elected that she was no longer doing supposed comedy. Her picture holding the severed head of the president has to been of the most vile stunts ever.
I wonder how many Tom Steyer and Bloomie Commercials it takes for CNN to recoup that $25 Million?
But now others know that they can be sued. And others like them can be sued.
“ Well Mr.Kramer, I read your report, and frankly, I cant even tell what this is., its as if you, had no legal training at all”
50% Winning (50% lawyers winning)
That's what I was thinking.
Give some as a nest egg to help others do the same.
That’s still $12.5 million. What’s not to like?
Question: How much does the IRS take?
