CNN on Tuesday settled a defamation lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann over its botched coverage of a viral confrontation with a Native American elder that had portrayed the Kentucky teen as the aggressor.
Fox 19 first reported that CNN settled with Sandmann for an undisclosed amount. The $250 million defamation suit sought damages for the "emotional distress Nicholas and his family suffered" in the fallout of the network's reporting.
A lawyer for Sandmann declined to comment on the settlement but confirmed to Fox News that lawsuits against The Washington Post and NBC were ongoing. Fox 19 also reported that Sandmann attorney L. Lin Wood told the judge they planned to sue media company Gannett, the publisher of the Cincinnati Enquirer among other newspapers, within 60 days. Gannett did not immediately comment either.

I will gladly let a guy beat a drum in my face while black Hebrew Israelites shout racial slurs at me for what this kid is going to end up getting.

Will be interesting to see if anyone gets it together to sue individuals on social media for posting libelous memes and what not. These things many of which are demonstrably false get shared ten of thousands of times resulting in millions of views. I think it would be great if the morons hitting share and forward started getting summons.

It's a little hard to understand the cost if the cost is not known.

My kid isn't an asshole.

My kid has respect for the elderly.

My kid has respect for the Native American culture.

My kid can be an asshole. Not in that way perhaps, but that's where I step in and set him straight about how WE treat people and how he was wrong, what is right and how it won't happen again. The same way my dad did for me.

Come now Tpap. Settling a lawsuit is hardly an admission. I wonder if you thought trump settling his trump university or charity means that he is a fraud?

This. As Johnny noted, giving him a couple bucks to GTFO is pretty common as a business decision. A trial would just give that little douchebag more of what he wants, publicity.

In this context it pretty much is an admission. Media fight these like hell when they are in the right.

Is Trump a fraud? Easy question.

In this context, yes of course. Trump would have fought like hell and actually gone to trial if he was innocent. It's not like he didn't have the lawyers, the resources and the time. I mean, it's only his reputation at stake.

Question to those of you who have referred to this 16 or 17-year-old kid as an "asshole", how do you think he could have handled the situation better?

If a young black man stood there and smiled while a guy beat a drum in his face, would you still say the young man was an asshole? If not, then can you explain why?

I would say that Sandman handled the situation better than most young guys, surrounded by a group of their friends, would have handled it.

If you disagree, then what should he have done differently? Apologized profusely for being white, something completely out of his control? Run away from the bus station and hid somewhere until he thought it was safe to return?

Or was it the hat? Is he an "asshole" simply because he was wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat? Those kids don't know anything about politics. They aren't threatening your position on anything. They don't hold any influence over anyone.

"how do you think he could have handled the situation better?" not been there

Catholic high school dope (you can't tell me you didn't make fun of those losers when you were young) with a MAGA hat . $hit he needs to leave Kentucky before he gets hooked on oxy

Question to the litigious geezers - do you think he was "defamed"?

He was not defamed. The kid was very close to his personal space and sporting a grin that said bring it. He then claimed he was scared and flashed a nervous grin. He sought and received a spotlighted confrontation. I would tell him if he were my son to respect that man's age, keep at least ten feet away and make sure any choice you make you can explain to me and your mom as to why you did it. Then I ask him why he did it.
