    I put a $100 that they settle for retraction and apology. And lawyer fees.

    Don't hold yer breath waiting for that post...

    This lawsuit, incredibly, makes the smirking little sh*t look like even MORE of a sociopathic twit.

    Who knew that was even possible? :eek:

    I think we'd be happy with MSM thinking twice next time a Jussie Smollet, Bret Kavanaugh, Covington High situation comes about.

    I have a suspicion that several Trumpsters on this forum have thrown their money at all three.

    Lol...The ambulance chasers have found a real sucker with this vapid little kid and his greedy entourage. They will be the only ones who profit as this idiot chases his 15 minutes of fame suing everyone under the sun for making him look like the smirking, air-headed fool that he is. What a right-wing snowflake.

    I doubt it. The lawyer in all likelihood is working on contingency and will not be able to collect his fees and expenses unless the client is paid. There will be a real settlement with real money changing hands or there will be a real court hearing (in which case the WP loses even if they win in court as their pattern or lies, bias and slander will be exposed to the entire world).

    Does anyone actually feel sorry for Bezos here? WAPO isn't a paper of record anymore, it very nearly rivals the National Enquirer for the trash they print, and of course, the Enquirer still does hard news..... What ever will the WAPO defense be? "Sorry, we're just a bunch of but hurt crack pots who pine away at our windmills"??

    I doubt it.

    Smollett was working a cheap con, the very sort of con that right wingers fall for every single time. Which is why all the yelling on this forum came from Trumpsters almost exclusively. The Smollett story, as originally told, was tailor made for the Trump audience, as it directly feeds their angry white persecution complex. it also got a lot of free publicity for their TV show, which, while still popular, suffered a 21% drop in ratings for thier season premier.

    Come to think of it, this was a variation on the play Trump ran in 2012, to keep "The Apprentice" in the air when NBC was thinking about cancelling it. He dropped his Presidential bid within days of the show's renewal.

    Fox denied that Smollett staged this to keep Fox from writing him out of their TV show, and then wrote him out of the show.

    Cavanaugh is not the innocent figure that Trumpsters are now claiming he is. It took more than one try to get him on the DC Curcuit, and his peevish performance in his confirmation hearings essentially confirmed everything Christine Ford said about is character. Were it not for the hyper partisan atmosphere his speech, and his lecturing of committee members would have doomed his nomination.

    Nobody cares about the high school kid, except you guys.

    Dems make it easy to you donate your money to:

    1) A disgraced lying FBI agent's gofundme account?
    2) A disgraced lying actor's gofundme account?
    3) A lying leftist activist, and racist African-American group, who call teenagers racist names, and "unruly" for standing up for themselves?

    Hard to tell....honestly I doubt Dems donate to either, they are very selfish....they'll leave it to Soros and Bezos

    Cleared in Olympics Blast, Jewell Gets Cash From NBC


    Updated Jan. 3, 1997 1:22 a.m. ET

    ATLANTA -- Richard Jewell, the world's most famous security guard, has recently racked up two big wins: a very public statement by the FBI that he didn't plant the bomb that shattered the 1996 Olympics, and a very quiet, six-figure settlement from NBC, whose star news anchor had landed the network in a difficult position.

    CNN SHELLS OUT FOR JEWELL

    WAPO will admit no wrongdoing and pay a compromised $10 million settlement. Deep down, they know they screwed up.

    That’s how this works.

    CNN lies more than FOX. OH yeah...by the way, commentary is NOT a lie. A guy paid to give his opinion is NOT NEWS. A news show is NEWS. FOX has news and they have commentary. NOT the same. CNN has long since stopped separating the two. ALL their news is commentary now.

    The NYT for example putting commentary on page 1, IS LYING...if you need it explained to you.

    They put the kid in a derogatory light that will affect him for years to come. Its not just about hurt feelings. He didnt choose this publicity. It's about the ability of a powerful media, holding no standards, to harm others who simply support our president. A dangerous thing.

    I note that the lawsuit was filed in a U.S. District Court in Kentucky.........LOL.......the jury will be comprised of folks that don’t take too kindly to uppity liberal folks defaming their innocent children. WAPO will see that writing on the wall and settle this case for $5-10 million.
