      So naive to say "legitimate" news organizations are reporting "the truth," as opposed to a narrative. WaPo, for example, got successfully sued by Nick Sandemann, a HS kid, for reporting the "truth."

      This is, of course, a lie. That sociopath Sandemann likely settled for nuisance value because there was nothing in the WaPo story which was false.https://lawandcrime.com/media/some-lawyers-think-covington-catholics-nick-sandmann-walked-away-from-media-lawsuits-with-peanuts/ …

      You have no idea what the settlement was - no facts - and the fact that a "legitimate" news organization decided to settle for something as deligitimizing as defamation says more than you comprehend.

      Do you know how much the settlement was for? It's the case in a litigious society people often settle for nugatory amounts to shutdown a nuisance suit.

      So you're telling me that a major, international news organization would settle that deligitimizing defamation case for peanuts instead of sticking to their guns. No I don't know how much the settlement was for which is why I don't speculate on how much the settlement was for.

      Yes, people settle nuisance suits all the time because court is very, very expensive. It helps to know how the world works.

      Replying to @HeerJeet @Federalist_10 @poll20odd6

      Okay, I'll spell it out for you. A major news organization wouldn't pay a pittance to keep its opponent from taking it to trial, and producing incriminating evidence impeaching is credibility, because the opponent wouldn't take a pittance.

      Replying to @SubBeck @HeerJeet and

      And when that news organization is owned by Jeff Bezos, it certainly would have gone to trial to rescue its reputation. He doesn't care about legal fees, obviously. Pretty sure he could have matched Sandemann's legal fees.

      Did you read the article linked to earlier? It quotes lawyers who litigate this sort of stuff who offer solid, plausible reasons for another view.https://lawandcrime.com/media/some-lawyers-think-covington-catholics-nick-sandmann-walked-away-from-media-lawsuits-with-peanuts/ …

      Also, "several lawyers." You don't know how easy it is to write such a piece?

      It's worth engaging their arguments.

          But you would never engage with the counter argument.

          You won't even admit how distorted the media coverage of this non-event was. I'm sure you think the media did a good job in showing that one photo over and over again, as if it captured the truth. Instead, you pretend WaPo settled for peanuts.
