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.

The media essentially ruined (or attempted to ruin) his life over a complete and utter lie that they KNEW was a lie.
He deserves every penny he gets.

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it but that much money at that age... he's gonna blow through it all and be bankrupt by 30. I hope he has some very good advisors in his life to help him do the right thing with it. Invest wisely and live like he only has $1m.

That kid is going to get 9 figures by the end of this over a Native American beating a drum in his face. Isn't this just a great country?

Good for him. His life could have easily been ruined by that.

He can finally exit light.

shite like this will begin happening more and more because they will not be able to keep it in their pants again when something "big" like this happens, where it's too good to be true.

Dude is set for life just because he grinned with a MAGA hat on. Lucky sob.
What the media did to him though is unforgivable

I'd happily take that for $100-300 million in settlements

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

Oh snap!

Wow so you can get rich for threatening minorities now?
Posted on 7/24/20 at 11:32 am to RLDSC FAN
Interesting. I remember multiple threads on this where people said he would get little, if anything, from these settlements.

Someday it'll likely leak how much he's getting
Posted on 7/24/20 at 11:34 am to RLDSC FAN
