On Those Catholic Kids That "Attacked" the Native Americans

If I read it right, by the same judge who first denied it. Interesting.

Correct. But he has narrowed the scope of the complaint from 33 statements to just three.

And that's for now. I'm fairly certain that will come up in appeal, should the Post be so unwise as to allow this to proceed to discovery.

Just what do you think the "journalists" at the Post (and CNN, and NBC, and....) were saying about the high schoolers in private emails and messages?

IF they are smart, after fighting discovery tooth and nail (which they will), they will fold like cheap suits.

Why would the judge reconsider his decision?  Did an appeals court force that?  I am kinda curious about that.


As far as comparisons go, I did see some people point out that this teenager and Greta are the same age.  The leftists were horrified that anyone would question or disagree with Greta on Climate Change, but many of them talked about slugging this teenager in the face.

One of these days the stupid *expletive deleted*ing SJW libtards are gonna get someone killed with their bullshit. There needs to be repercussions from this kind of electronic lynching. If the courts can't or wont provide it then eventually people will deal with it themselves.

One of the lawyers was on Fox this morning and stated they had convinced the judge to watch some of the unedited videos and he overruled himself.

What we have here is another failure of the English language. The Native American phony veteran claims he was blocked from "retreating." "Retreat" means to reverse direction and leave using the same route by which you entered. It's impossible for someone who is standing in front of you to prevent you from "retreating."

How the hell did the judge make his original ruling without actually reviewing the evidence?  Was none of that provided?

He was a Carter appointee. That's how.

I Have an old friend with boys in high school, she was just regurgitating the liberal hordes - virtue signalling about native americans
( which, living in Ireland, she knows nothing about )
when i sent her a clip of the uncut vid, it actually changed her mind

A Kentucky judge has dropped presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D.-Mass., from a libel lawsuit filed by eight Covington Catholic High School students on grounds of sovereign immunity.

I didn't even know Warren was being sued.

Unless what Sen. Warren said was actually said by her on the floor of the senate while it was in session, there should be no immunity.

Looks like the $275 million suit against NBC will be proceeding to discovery:

CNN settles lawsuit with Nick Sandmann

COVINGTON, Ky. (FOX19) - CNN agreed Tuesday to settle a lawsuit with Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann.

The amount of the settlement was not made public during a hearing at the federal courthouse in Covington, Kentucky.

Sandmann’s lawsuit sought $800 million from CNN, the Washington Post and NBC Universal.

Trial dates are still not set for Sandmann’s lawsuit against NBC Universal and the Washington Post.

^^^ Hopefully he gets a really high percentage of the amount sought.

This is a case where I don't even care if the lawyers got a big percentage too, if the settlement was close to what they asked. CNN deserves to lose every penny possible.

A few more of these should knock the wind out of the sails of the media. Hopefully they will learn it is okay to slow down and gather all the facts before reporting a story. I miss the old film at 11 or more details in the morning edition.

Especially when the case involves a minor who is not already a public figure. 

[RoadKingLarry]

It would be nice if this prompted the corporate behemoth that owns CNN (_ _&_)to do a little house cleaning but I'll not hold my breath.

After years of politically charged litigation, former Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann has lost a round of high-profile defamation lawsuits against five mainstream media companies at the summary judgment stage. That’s according to court dockets and an opinion and order signed by a federal judge in the Eastern District of Kentucky on Tuesday.

Sandmann’s cases against ABC News, Rolling Stone magazine, CBS News, newspaper and television station owner Gannett, and The New York Times are now officially listed as “terminated” on the court record.

Too bad. Each of those smarmy organizations should be sued into oblivion for what they've done to innocent people in the past. Especially Rolling Stone.

I see the linked site is run by an ABC News guy. The reader comments section appears to be strongly left-biased.

I can't think of a single site where the reader comments are worth reading.

Oh, come on!  What about Reddi … oh, ummm.  There lots of great, intelligent commentary on Faceb … shoot.  I know I saw some polite discourse on FoxNews!  Dang it, that was here.
