Please feel free to provide the unedited full- length video and break it down for us. Don't hesitate to support your case by also breaking down the history of the drum-banger as well as the black men who were yelling in the background at the black kids who were with Sandman.

unbillievable Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 It's funny that a Newspaper used the defense that they printed opinions, and not facts, to get a defamation suit dismissed. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. FTA that I posted above: It wasn’t until videos capturing the entire incident came out that the media realized it had been peddling fake news. The full video showed that Phillips had not attempted to make his way to the Lincoln Memorial, but had instead marched into the group of students and stood in front of Sandmann, beating his drum and singing. The Post and other outlets immediately issued mea culpas, but the damage had been done: Sandmann had been branded a smirking racist and rendered a subject of scorn throughout the country. When Sandmann appeals, a three-judge panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals will consider his arguments. Given the procedural posture of this case—the motion to dismiss stage—Sandmann has solid grounds to argue for reversal. That’s because at that stage, the court must read the facts in the light most favorable to Sandmann, and if a reasonable jury could interpret the Post’s statements as defamatory, the court must allow the case to continue. An analysis of Judge Bertelsman’s opinion indicates that he overstepped his bounds in several areas and resolved factual disputes that should have been left for a jury to decide. {snip} If the Judge Is Right, All News Is Mere Opinion Here, there is a great irony to the judge’s decision. His analysis of the reporting rendered virtually every statement concerning the incident mere opinion. Judge Bertelsman even went so far as to declare The Washington Post’s reporting “rhetoric” and “hyperbole” Bertelsman is half-right. The Post and every other major media outlet now resort to rhetoric and hyperbole in reporting on all things Trump and conservative, such as the March for Life. And they regularly peddle opinion as fact. But the Post’s coverage of the encounter between Sandmann and Phillips, and the passages above, reported false facts. Those false facts subjected Sandmann to “public hatred, ridicule, contempt, aversion, or disgrace,” eliminating the need under Kentucky law to show the defamatory statements caused damages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smart thing for WaPo, CNN, etc to do is offer a large settlement to make it all go away. But, I doubt they are that smart and I expect them to go the Oberlin college route.

Buffalo_Gal Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I smell an appeal (can it be appealed?) or else some animals really are more equal than others. Covington Catholic students' defamation suit against Warren is dismissed 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. The lawsuit, filed in August, named Warren along with a New Mexico congresswoman and 10 other public figures claiming they made defamatory comments about the students following their January encounter with Native Americans in Washington, D.C. Only Warren and Rep. Deborah Haaland, D.-N.M., were dismissed from the suit. “Sovereign immunity ‘extends to agencies of the United States’ or ‘federal officers [acting] in their official capacities,’” the decision by District Judge William O. Bertelsman read. Sovereign immunity is the doctrine that the U.S. government or those acting on its behalf may not be sued without its consent. </snip> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
