Student Nick Sandmann sued CNN $275,000,000.00 for defamation of character; when he was 'roasted' by CNN about a confrontation, that never occurred in Washington DC. At least no how CNN reported it anyway! They were loosing this case, being dead wrong; and decided to settle out of court for an undisclosed amount.

Since this Minor was wearing a MAGA hat, These MSM outlets (CNN, The Washington Post, and NBC) immediately attacked this kid, lying about what had happened. They said that this student was horrible, disrespectful, and Racist; when in fact he did NOTHING wrong!
He was advised well, and sued these media sources for the Character assassination they were responsible for doing!
CNN on Tuesday settled a defamation lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann over its botched coverage of a viral confrontation with a Native American elder that had portrayed the Kentucky teen as the aggressor.
Fox 19 first reported that CNN settled with Sandmann for an undisclosed amount. The $250 million defamation suit sought damages for the “emotional distress Nicholas and his family suffered” in the fallout of the network’s reporting.
A lawyer for Sandmann declined to comment on the settlement but confirmed to Fox News that lawsuits against The Washington Post and NBC were ongoing. Fox 19 also reported that Sandmann attorney L. Lin Wood told the judge they planned to sue media company Gannett, the publisher of the Cincinnati Enquirer among other newspapers, within 60 days. Gannett did not immediately comment either.

THIS is No way to treat an innocent teenager!He was there for a pro life rally, and was wearing a MAGA Cap; so the MSM began creative editing to make him look bad. The entire lawsuits totalled $800,000,000.00 between the three media outlets being sued. CNN was individually sued for $275,000,000.00; and they settled out of court.
Sandmann garnered the attention of mainstream media outlets when a video that gave the illusion that he was ridiculing Nathan Phillips, a Native American man present at the Indigenous People’s March, which occurred at the same time as the March for Life. Phillips stood in front of Sandmann, who was wearing a Make America Great Again hat, chanting and beating a drum.
Of course, as the full video shows, Sandmann did not harass Phillips in any way. As is typical of the March for Life, these attendees were peaceful. The mainstream media took this video out of context in the interest of defaming a conservative teenager. Mainstream media outlets, which were all widely respected at one time, jumped at the chance to create a racial hoax around an innocent teenager. CNN commentator Reza Aslan even went as far as to say that Sandmann has a punchable face:
This commentator Reza Aslan needs to be singled out for censure; this is so out of line! You can't treat an innocent minor this way! Suing is a great way to redress this difference, and I am glad it has cost them!
This decent young Man has school money now, LOL!
I hope he roasts the other two MSM outlets too.
