Looks like Nick Sandman just won round 2...

[Jim147]

CNN hasn't had ethics in years so his job is safe.

[DittoHead]

How about if we go on what Mr. Sandman himself said

His statements have been pretty vague. They probably have to be as part of the settlement (see Stelter being in hot water).
The statement from his attorney was, if anything, rather conciliatory:

"Nicholas Sandmann agreed to settle with the Post because the Post was quick to publish the whole truth—through its follow-up coverage and editor's notes," Sandmann's attorney, Todd McMurtry, said in an email. "The terms of the settlement are confidential"

It's pretty clear from his statement the other day that he considers it to be a victory, so who are we to say that it was NOT a victory for him?

No one here has said it was NOT a victory, I just think declaring it went one way or the other without knowing any of the details is foolish.
Calling the Washington Post "his BI***" would be a lot more convincing if he had received a public apology or significant amount of money or both.

Melania Trump settled for $3 million and a public apology after the Daily Mail insinuated she was a prostitute, if Sandmann had gotten that there would be no question it was a win.

That is the level of settlement I assumed.  It is enough to give him a little and pay the lawyers to pursue the other defendants.  If they all settle for money like that, he is still comes out good.

No one here has said it was NOT a victory

That is pretty standard I would assume but without any more info (like $$) how do we know who "won"?

[DittoHead]

Do you think those two posts contradict each other?

[cordex]

Do you think those two posts contradict each other?

Are you saying you weren't trying to downplay this as a non-victory for Nick?

[DittoHead]

Are you saying you weren't trying to downplay this as a non-victory for Nick?

I'm saying (again) that we don't have enough information to know if this settlement was a victory or a non-victory or anything else.

I just think declaring it went one way or the other without knowing any of the details is foolish.

[cordex]

I'm saying (again) that we don't have enough information to know if this settlement was a victory or a non-victory or anything else.

At minimum it was a PR victory.  It may well have been a financial victory as well, but as you say we don't know that.

 L. Lin Wood PC ... http://www.linwoodlaw.com/ 

"Since undertaking the representation of Richard Jewell, the security guard falsely accused of the 1996 bombing of Centennial Olympic Park, L. Lin Wood, P.C. has served as the nation’s go-to law firm for aggressively representing plaintiffs in defamation matters against media and other defendants. Our firm has handled some of the nation’s highest-profile defamation cases. There is no First Amendment lawyer more respected and feared than L. Lin Wood, described by former CBS anchor Dan Rather as “The Attorney for the Damned.”"

Then you are being purposefully obtuse.

As usual.

[DittoHead]

Then you are being purposefully obtuse.

As usual.

I don't think you have enough information to know whether my supposed obtusity is purposeful, intentional, or natural. 

[MechAg94]

I don't think you have enough information to know whether my supposed obtusity is purposeful, intentional, or natural. 

I am assuming natural until I see better information.   

[cordex]

I don't think you have enough information to know whether my supposed obtusity is purposeful, intentional, or natural. 

I vote institutional.

Good God, they're still pushing the narrative on this.

Probably because the Infamous Cheshire Cat of Racism is speaking at the RNC tonight.

[K Frame]

Of course they're pushing it.

You repeat a lie often enough and people start to believe it.

Sounds like CNN wants to give the kid a pay raise.

Can still remember when CNN was actually respected. That was a long long time ago.

I think I just heard the sound of a bunch of SJWs choking on their herbal tea

Nicholas Sandmann hired by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s campaign team

I hope that the Rittenhouse deal is that once his lawyer is done with the criminal trial he gets to make his money on the civil side. The media needs the Sandmann treatment until it gets tired or goes broke. Example, NPR I listened to reported him "firing into the crowd."

[Ben]

Example, NPR I listened to reported him "firing into the crowd."

Yes, I've seen that from several "news" organizations. They're all making him sound like the Las Vegas shooter.
