Wouldn't punitive damages come in to play as well? Not really up on my tort law.
100% they would, but those aren't something you can accurately quantify in a settlement negotiation either.

That’s what a quantum report is for. You can absolutely figure out punitive damages with a west law account and an inkling of good lawyering. Funny to see the usual suspects downplaying the settlement.

Look if it comes out that he got over $50m then I will 100% come back and eat crow. I just don't think that is the case.

That's my guesstimate also. Which would still be a major victory for him. An unexpected windfall + CNN admitting they were wrong.

I'm guessing CNN settled to avoid discovery. The other media outlets might do the same.
They could fight it in court and maybe even win, defamation is typically very difficult to prove, however the internal emails and memos and stuff regarding the story might be more damaging to their reputations than a settlement.
The enemies of America march in Tehran and they also sit in conference rooms at CNN HQ and the Washington Post.

Meh...media hasn't changed much except it's even more left wing but social media has certainly changed things.
Still somewhat the same premise and it was arguably worse for Jewel because of accusation.
I would guess the settlement is in the 10 to $15 million and I thought Richard Jewel's settlement was WAY to low.

frick'em! They are immigrants just like the rest of us.
That is why Canada call's them First Nation's people instead of "natives".

Well, the crematoriums in the grass huts thing just didn't work out.
I'll be here all week, folks. Don't forget to tip your server, and try the veal. It's the best.

I think what you're describing there is probably evidence supporting the case of defamation. Such emails and internal memos would likely show a reckless disregard for the truth.

What is the angle here? Why the **** are people going back 13000 years to somehow get out of calling them Natives. They were here before anyone else. It was their home. It's not a literal interpretation. Europeans drove them out of their communities and damn near destroyed them with disease and war. Their is no way around this truth.
Ok pedophile

It's mostly a question of state law and whether the defendant’s actions were malicious, intentional or grossly negligent... In the Gibson Bakery v. Oberlin College libel case, the jury initially assessed $11 million in compensatory damages and $33 million in punitive damages against Oberlin, for a total of $44 million, but the judge cut back the amount to $25 million because Ohio law has caps on damages. The judge then tacked on $6.5 million in attorney’s fees bringing the verdict back up to $31 million.
Although this is on appeal in Ohio, it's a good example of a case that didn't garner a fraction of the media Sandmann did. And I do believe Kentucky does not cap either compensatory or punitive damages.

It actually is a little more complex than that.
There are no humans that originated in North America.
Being here first doesn’t make them native in the sense that people use the term.

5 pages and no one guessed he settled for three fitty. Damn this site is slacking.

Regardless of if showing up here first makes you a native, the people here when Europeans arrived weren't native.
Over the intervening 13k years they taken retaken killed and stole the land from each other 50x over.
The fact you share a skin tone with the people you drove off of land doesn't make you native. The entire concept of calling the people that were here in the late 1400s native is retarded

So you get to define the time range for native or not 
That would be an incorrect statement, go back to school and study migration patterns
