Many people should sue Trump for Libel for what he posted on Twitter. He spews false and lying attacks against other people. Twitter should banned Trump. He is misusing a free service to attack people.
Start another thread if you want to spew your TDS hatred for Trump. This thread is about Nicholas Sandmann's suit against CNN.

Correcting the Left's Lies:
Quote:"The group of teenagers had become involved in a filmed confrontation with Nathan Phillips, an elderly Native American activist."
Correction: The group of teenagers were confronted by Nathan Phillips, a known liar who feigns activism to get attention and likely saw a good opportunity to get some more.
"A viral photo from the incident, showing Mr Sandmann standing face-to-face with Mr Phillips and smirking as the protester sings and plays his drum, provoked fury on social media."
Correction: A viral photo shows Mr. Sandmann refusing to allow himself to be provoked despite Mr. Phillips deliberately banging his drum in Mr. Sandmann's face in a direct violation of Mr. Sandmann's personal space.
"Mr Phillips would later state in interviews he felt the students had been mocking him during the standoff."
Addition: Mr. Phillips is known to have lied about his service record in order to garner sympathy and possibly for personal profit. As such, any statements he makes should NOT be taken at face value.

The news media had to retracted on the misreporting of Mr. Phillips time in the military. He had to correct their mistake when the media said he served in Vietnam. That was the medias' fault at misreporting that, and CNN had to make that correction on air. Phillips did served in the Military during that time when Pentagon officials confirmed it, Phillips said he never went to Vietnam. Not all troops go to the war zone. We need troops stay at home in case we get invaded. The people who are attacking Mr. Phillips are the KKK, white supremacists and Neo-Nazis who hate all races.

Along with NON racists who value truth and deplore those who provoke confrontation and then, whether they get a reaction or not... feign injury/victimization... and those who enable them.... especially the media who has the resources, access AND responsibility to do better

RE: CNN sued for $250M over 'vicious' and 'direct attacks' on Covington High student
Great news today....
Quote: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.
Last March, Sandmann's attorneys launched their suit against CNN for its coverage of the incident before all the facts had surfaced. The teen was seeking a whopping $800 million in damages between the three news outlets.

He needs to settle with somebody and get some bankroll, then play hardball with everybody else. CNN would be a logical bankroll candidate for the reason you note.
Nice foresight there Owl. You were right on target, or should I say ... on the money.

Mr. Phillips straight up made things up in his interviews.
If I recall correctly he said he thought the kids were going to lynch the members of the Black Hebrew Israelites (known hate group) because the kids "didn't like the color of their skin". I remember there being a lot of holes in his story, but it was a while back. Doesn't matter what side of the political aisle you are on: He made up nonsense for a sensationalized headline and now the media gets to pay the price for not fact checking, as they should.
The media's #1 job is FACT CHECKING, not running to Twitter to see who can report fake garbage first.

Maybe he can read lips. I'm pretty good at that too. For example, I can tell when Pelosi is lying by either hearing her words, or if I can't hear them, just by seeing her lips moving.
