I don’t know anything about the kid’s academic trajectory but a good attorney could argue that in the current political environment on college campuses, his being falsely smeared and falsely labeled by WaPo could easily limit his ability for acceptance to colleges and universities.

A good attorney could use David Hogg as an example of the effect of media attention re a student that had their ambitions affected by the media spotlight.

David Hogg has no qualifications to go to Harvard but was offered a scholarship based on his political stances and media perception.

The same media that can send a kid with no business going to Harvard to Harvard has been completely detrimental to any secondary education prospects that Sandman might have.

Hate the WaPo and I hate everyone for how they treated the kids. So I ask this question just wanting specifics so I can discuss/bash thexWaPo... did they write an editorial or something? Did they have multiple articles? What did they do differently than other news outlets? (I’d love for the other outlets to be crushed too)

I suggest anyone with a reddit account get to this thread and post. I’ve never seen a more obvious example of paid posters trying to downplay a story/distract/red herring

Neither. There will be an NDA so we’ll never know.

Right now it's just WaPo, but the list to whom Sandmann's lawyers sent demand letters is long (dozens of potential Defendants). There was a thread that listed them.

ETA: The NY Times, Maggie Haberman, Washington Post, CNN, NPR, Savannah Guthrie, Andrea Mitchell, Joy Reid, Chuck Todd, The Hill, The Atlantic, Kathy Griffin, GQMagazine, Elizabeth Warren, The Guardian, TMZ, Capitol Hill Publishing Corp., Diocese of Covington, Diocese of Lexington, Archdiocese of Louisville, Diocese of Baltimore, Erin Burnett, Sara Sidner, Ana Cabrera, Amanda Watts, Elliot McLaughlin, Michelle Boorstein, Emanuella Grinberg, Cleve Wootson Jr., Antonio Olivo, Joe Heim, Michael Miller, Eli Rosenberg, David Brooks, Isaac Stanley-Becker, Kristine Phillips, Sara Mervosh, Emily Rueb, Shannon Doyne, Kurt Eichenwald, Bill Maher, HBO, Warner Media, Ilhan Omar, Noah Berlatsky, Elisha Fieldstadt and Eun Kyung Kim.

Under but only because Juries are made up of people who typically aren't smart enough to get out of Jury duty and who typically vote for democrats.

Regardless the Post isn't the only one who will have to pay.

The lawyers will wind up with 50%+ of his settlements

He will still end up with around 1 or 2 mil by the time all of the lawsuits are done and the attorneys milk it.

Maybe just maybe the left will at least learn a lesson

Explain how Hogg wasn't Harvard material.

Do you have access to his private education GPA and ACT/SAT scores?

How do you know he didn't meet their criteria?

Please stop dodging my question and explain your legal background. Specifically - your knowledge of discovery and the elements needed to prove Sandmann’s claims.
