So after successfully sueing and getting paid by CNN and the Wash Post, Nicholas Sandmann cashes in from NBC now

So great to see these biased media entities having to pay out for defaming Nicholas Sandmann. Hope Kyle Rittenhouse is as successful bringing defamation lawsuits against these jackass media entities

Nicholas Sandmann reaches settlement with NBC in Covington Catholic High School controversy.

Nicholas Sandmann settled Friday with NBC-Universal, he said.

The media had lambasted the Covington Catholic High School student from Kentucky, now 19, over a confrontation at the 2019 March for Life in Washington, D.C.

"At this time I would like to release that NBC and I have reached a settlement," wrote Sandmann on Twitter, adding that the terms were confidential.

Following the 2019 incident in Washington, D.C., many media outlets and Democratic politicians criticized Sandmann for a confrontation with a Native American elder at the Lincoln Memorial following the march.

Sandmann was recorded on video wearing one of former President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign hats while smiling at the activist, Nathan Phillips, as Phillips beat a ceremonial drum and chanted at him in close proximity.

Several media reports at the time claimed the incident was racially charged on the part of the White teenager, which Sandmann and other witnesses disputed.

People have judged Sandmann "based off one expression, which I wasn't smirking, but people have assumed that's what I have," he said a 2019 interview with NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie.

Nearby members of the Black Hebrew Israelites group were shouting slurs at him and his classmates, he added.

"I heard them call us incest kids, bigots, racists," Sandmann said.

His filing against NBC-Universal and MSNBC reportedly asked for $275 million in damages.

CNN and the Washington Post both settled defamation lawsuits from Sandmann in 2020 for undisclosed amounts.

Law school professor William Jacobson told Fox News at the time that CNN agreeing to settle is a "rare example of a 'little guy' being able to stand up to a media behemoth" and estimated the deal was worth at least seven figures.

In 2020, Sandmann attorney Todd McMurtry told Fox News that lawsuits against "as many as 13 other defendants will be filed," including ABC, CBS, The Guardian, HuffPost, NPR, Slate, The Hill, and Gannett, which owns the Cincinnati Enquirer as well as other small outlets.

After Illinois teenager Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of homicide charges in the shooting deaths of two Kenosha, Wisconsin, rioters Nov. 19 amid similar media attacks, Sandmann told Fox News the teenager's experiences seemed similar and that as of November, he had six pending suits against other media outlets himself.

... Good for him... The lawsuit came from the media there
being "slow" to correct their in-accurate reporting
on the events with those Covington joeys.

Wonderin' how much Trump will sue the government for
now that we know the "Trump/Russia collusion" story
was a LIE from the start. How much $$$$ to restore
Trump's good name?

$20 Billion surely ought to do it.

Crikey-Ya got me laughing like crocodile Dundee, saying that's not a knife- this is a knife.

... We can surely laugh about it, I know.
But the point is - the phony Trump/Russia bullshit
DID hurt the earnings potential of the Trump Organization.
Potential business partners were scared-off because
of the false narrative.

So THAT then deserves COMPENSATION. $$$$$$

But THIS thread is not about Trump... We'd surely better stay on-topic.
