    Yeah that didn’t happen all. You’re a living example of what fake news does to people.

    I’d give Wapo the option of fork over cash, or change their slogan to “Washington Post, where facts go to die in the dark.”

    Actually, everyone is sick of the Libelous Media

    Justice Thomas assails landmark U.S. libel ruling that protects media

    sadly, whatever the judgement entered, the defendants will persue legal action that will delay payment for decades...

    we really need an updated ruling that requires full payment of lawsuit judgements within 10 days, then they can appeal & if they win the appeal, demand immediate re-imbursement...

    too many that have 'won' end up broke or destitute long before any monies roll in...

    the $1,000 per hour lawyer Wood will take at least 40%. Depending on the amount of additional lawsuits brought at the same time, I think WAPO could settle for roughly half.

    How many Duke lacrosse or UVA fraternity cases must there be before the media learns its lesson?

    The MSM is invested into making White males look bad and to be despised by the general public. From the Covington kids to Jussie Smollet to Duke Lacrosse to the Virginia fraternity to the Gillette commercial........and on and on......

    Through the election cycle, WAPO at least may loose a certain amount of credibility. The case has to stay in the public eye though.
    It will depend on Bezos as to how important his private tweeter is to him.

    Yeah, liable cases are pretty hard to win, since you have to prove intent.

    The point is the "Free Press" is about to be exposed even more in a big way. This lawyer is going to show purposeful negative reporting is the norm. He can show trends with the WaPo that they have given 90%+ Negative reporting due to ideology. At that point, they are just propagandists and that makes them propagandists attacking a kid with lies. You can't do that and not pay up.

    I expect the WaPo to settle, too, and I expect Nick will become a very wealthy young man.

    I found the text of the lawsuit on website of the law firm that Sandmann retained. It's an interesting reasd, and here is how they came to the $250 million figure they are suing for:

    LOLZ...

    The lawsuit repeatedly refers to Sandmann as a child.

    Yeah, that'll earn the tough guys at the WaPo a lot of sympathy...

    An ambulance-chasing kind of case that is bound to fail, I'm sure. Can people sue Trump for fanning the flames of his cultish mob to attack individuals and organizations?

    After watching the video, you STILL have the nerve to say that? Wow! Hope he gets every dime from everyone they sue...I thought Libs hated people like Bezos---you know--corporate greed and all that...

    So like I said, you silly goose don't have a case against Fox News and are reduced to throwing temper tantrums and bleating insults about my English (my 3rd language indeed, how many languages do you speak?).

    Par for the course sunshine when you mess with adults who are way out of your league.

    CNN doesn't even attempt to hide that its news coverage as commentary anymore. They gave that up over 2 yrs ago. FOX has legit commentary that IS BIASED, when you know you're getting opinions. Its swings to the right, no questions. Then they have news where its pretty even handed. And there was a study about over 90% of the MSM news being negative regarding Trump, so if you want to argue about it, go there. No, I won't send you a link. If you care about being informed, its up to you to spend a couple minutes educating yourself.
