Washington Post settles Nicholas Sandmann defamation lawsuit in Covington Catholic High School controversy

‘I turned 18 & WaPo settled my lawsuit,’ Sandmann announced on Twitter

By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News July 24, 2020:

Media ignores CNN settlement with Covington teen

CNN settled a multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann; reaction and analysis from Fox Nation host Tammy Bruce.

The Washington Post is the latest news organization to settle a defamation lawsuit launched by Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann over its botched coverage of a viral confrontation with a Native American elder that had portrayed the Kentucky teen as the aggressor.

Sandmann announced the victory on Twitter.

“On 2/19/19, I filed $250M defamation lawsuit against Washington Post. Today, I turned 18 & WaPo settled my lawsuit. Thanks to @ToddMcMurtry & @LLinWood for their advocacy. Thanks to my family & millions of you who have stood your ground by supporting me. I still have more to do,” Sandmann wrote on Friday.

This follows the multi-million dollar settlement CNN made with the teenager back in January.

Sandmann offered a not-so-subtle warning to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

“We have settled with WAPO and CNN. The fight isn’t over. 2 down. 6 to go. Don’t hold your breath @jack,” Sandmann tweeted.

Sandmann’s attorney, Lin Wood, similarly wrote, “For our present to @N1ckSandmann to celebrate his 18th Birthday, @ToddMcMurtry & I gave Nicholas the gift of justice from . . . THE WASHINGTON POST #FightBack.”

A spokesperson for The Washington Post told Fox News, “We are pleased that we have been able to reach a mutually agreeable resolution of the remaining claims in this lawsuit.”

In March 2019, Sandmann’s attorneys filed a suit against CNN for its coverage of the incident before all the facts had surfaced. The teen was seeking a whopping $800 million in damages from CNN, NBC and the Post.

Attorney Todd McMurtry previously told Fox News that lawsuits against “as many as 13 other defendants” would be filed.

Among them: ABC, CBS, The Guardian, The Huffington Post, NPR, Slate, The Hill, and Gannett which owns the Cincinnati Inquirer, as well as miscellaneous other small outfits, according to McMurtry. Separate lawsuits against the Washington Post and NBC have already been filed, he added.

Sandmann was swept up in a controversy after a video clip depicted the “MAGA” hat-wearing student smiling at Nathan Phillips beating a drum and singing a chant as he was surrounded by Sandmann’s peers, who all had joined in on the chant in front of the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.

However, several mainstream media outlets, including CNN and The Washington Post, portrayed the incident with Sandmann and the other teens as being racially charged before additional footage later showed that a group of Black Hebrew Israelites had provoked the confrontation, slinging racial slurs at the students as they were waiting for their bus following the March For Life event.

Footage then showed Phillips, who was in town for the Indigenous Peoples March, approaching the students amid the rising tension between the two groups.

Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, and the CEO of Youtube Susan Wojcicki, they should all be in Guantanamo Bay because their websites allow free-flowing Jihadi, terrorist propaganda but they censor those who speak for freedom, Western civilisation, and sanity.

Silicon Valley nerds love ISISlam, it’s been obvious that they love it for years now. (probably because women having no rights is the only way that any of them could get laid)

Throw them in right now and start waterboarding.

Don’t think they can overturn an out of court settlement. It ain’t a court ruling.

There was no court decision. The case was settled out of court. That makes the other cases easier to settle. Cases are often settled because they are losers that cannot be won in a jury trial. The defendants are big money corporations that the public distrusts. The complainant is a young man unfairly maligned; that doesn’t play well to twelve angry jurors.

while whatever monetary payout may be great, WP has insurance
what is more important is if they agreed that they violated his rights and admitted culpability.
didn’t see that in this article
all, I see is – WP – “We are pleased that we have been able to reach a mutually agreeable resolution of the remaining claims in this lawsuit.”

They probably had them sign an agreement to not disclose the amount. WP was nailed and so are the others for the same reasons. I doubt insurance covers this….it was an intentional act.

Democratic National Committee platform mentions
‘whites’ 15 times, all damning

by Paul Bedard, Washington Secrets Columnist
July 23, 2020 11:58 AM

Below are the 15 references to whites:

1. We will never amplify or legitimize the voices of bigotry, racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, or white supremacy.
2. Median incomes are lower and poverty rates are higher for Black Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and some Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, compared to median white households.
3. And there is a persistent, pernicious racial wealth gap that holds millions of Americans back, with the typical white household holding six times more wealth than the typical Latino family and 10 times more wealth than the typical Black family.
4. The wage gap between Black workers and white workers is higher today than it was 20 years ago.
5. It takes a typical Black woman 19 months to earn what a typical white man earns in 12 months — and for typical Latinas and Native American women, it takes almost two years.
6. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the uninsured rate was nearly three times higher for Latinos and nearly twice as high for Black Americans as it was for whites.
7. Black children are far more likely than white children to suffer from asthma. (No upper case for “whites”.)
8. Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and Black Americans are diagnosed with diabetes at higher rates than whites.
9. Black women are more than three times as likely to die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth compared to white women.
10. President Trump’s words and actions have given safe harbor and encouragement to bigots, anti-Semites, Islamophobes, and white supremacists.
11. The extreme gap in household wealth and income between people of color — especially Black Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans — and white families is hurting our working class and holding our country back.
12. We will confront white nationalist terrorism and combat hate crimes perpetrated against religious minorities.
13. Each year, the United States spends $23 billion more on schools in predominantly white districts than in non-white districts.
14. We will root out systemic racism from our military justice system, where black service members are twice as likely as white ones to face court-martial.
15. Our counterterrorism priorities, footprint, and tools should shift accordingly, including to respond to the growing threat from white supremacist and other right-wing terrorist groups.

Gov. DeSantis Calls for Investigation as Those Not Tested for Coronavirus Receive Positive Results
BY HANNAH BLEAU 21 Jul 2020

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has asked the Department of Health to investigate following emerging reports of individuals receiving positive test results for the Chinese coronavirus, despite never taking the test.

“For that to come back positive, when there was no specimen submitted, is problematic, so I’ve heard it enough to be concerned about it,” DeSantis said this week.

“I asked the Department of Health to look at that, because I heard it too. If you can give us, if people that have told you that are willing to provide their name, we’re interested in investigating this because it’s ridiculous,”
he continued.

If I were the kid, I’d invite the Native American musician and share some of the kopeks with him, and ask him to teach him to play the drum, and do a duet on youtube…… How the left would cringe.
