Media: Nicholas Sandmann teen who faced off with Native American protester in viral vide

Nicholas Sandmann did not face off with a Native American. The Indian deliberately walked up to him and got in the face of young Mr. Sanmdmann who stood passively while the Indian tried to provoke him. The deplorable and despicable media continue to lie.
Nicholas Sandmann, teen who faced off with Native American protester in viral video, praises Trump's battle against 'cancel culture'
In his speech at the Republican National Convention Tuesday, Nicholas Sandmann — the Kentucky high school student who was seen in a viral video in a red “Make America Great Again” hat standing in front of a Native American activist outside the Lincoln Memorial last year — accused the media of trying to “cancel” him because of his support for President Trump.
Sandmann, then a junior at Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Ky., was seen facing off silently with Nathan Phillips, a Native American protester. The standoff took place after Sandmann and his classmates had participated in the 2019 March for Life.
Trump quickly seized on the incident, praising Sandmann and the other students on Twitter and using the standoff to attack the “evil” news media.
“Nick Sandmann and the students of Covington have become symbols of Fake News and how evil it can be,” Trump tweeted.
“My life changed forever in that one moment,” Sandmann told the convention in a prerecorded speech from the Lincoln Memorial. “The full war machine of the mainstream media revved up into attack mode. They did so without ever researching the full video of the incident, without ever investigating Mr. Phillips’s motives or without ever asking me for my side of the story. And do you know why? Because the truth wasn’t important. Advancing their anti-Christian, anti-conservative, anti-Donald Trump narrative was all that mattered.”
Phillips, an elder of the Omaha people who had just participated in the Indigenous Peoples March, was beating a drum and praying. He said he approached the students because he heard them chanting “Build that wall.”
The "Build the wall" shouts were not heard on the video, and Sandmann denied that his group participated in them.
In his RNC speech, Sandmann referred to Phillips and other demonstrators as “professional protesters.”
“While the media portrayed me as the aggressor with a ‘relentless smirk’ on my face, in reality the video confirms I was standing with my hands behind my back and an awkward smile on my face that hid two thoughts,” he said. “One, don’t do anything that might further agitate the man banging a drum in my face. And two, trying to follow a family friend’s advice never to do anything to embarrass your family, your school or your community.”
Sandmann’s family sued numerous media outlets for hundreds of millions of dollars alleging defamation over coverage of the viral video. They settled lawsuits with CNN in January and the Washington Post in July. Details of the out-of-court settlements were not released.
“I wouldn’t be canceled,” Sandmann said in his message to the RNC. “I fought back hard to expose the media for what they did to me and won a personal victory. While much more must be done, I look forward to the day that the media returns to providing balanced, responsible and accountable news coverage. I know President Trump hopes for that too.

Who gives a frick? Seriously, we all know they're Godless pieces of shite. What good is posting about it every fricking day? Every hour of every fricking day on this board you all bitch and fricking moan about the media.
Do you expect them to become honest overnight? Do you expect them to bend to your will? "Oh man tigersbb posted a scathing review on TigerDroppings, better start being honest!" said the NY Times Editor.
Why spin your wheels over these fricking people? Someone explain to me, please, your all's obsession with getting pissed off over shite that you know good and goddamn well is going to piss you off before you read it?

The bias in the media needs to be called out all day, every day.

Turn off CNN, people - no need to watch. They are so basic in their ignorance and bias that their reactions and “commentary” could be predicted by an un-trained monkey.

That kid seems to want a lot of attention.

How else sill they be held accountable and make the change that needs to happen? It’s the logic that the left uses, why shouldn’t we complain about it?

Pretty sure 99.9% of TD Pol board understands this very well. Why don't you guys pool your money together. Buy billboards and spread the word to the public. Create a PAC. Buy TV Ads. Buy Digital Ads and point them at a Demo opposite of you or someone on the fringe.
Hitting "Create New Thread" isn't doing a damn thing.

Sent by Yeezus himself. To show Boomers that too much media and the subsequent ebb and flow of emotions is not good for your mental or physical health.
To show you that by being "outraged", you're playing right into their hands. Outraged people click and watch. Apathetic people don't. You're being mind fricked everyday and most of you are spreading this mind frick to your "friends" and family.
I'm just asking you to think about your media habits. They're unhealthy. Do something about it.
