[quote=Anonymous]The only statements the judge found to be untrue were said by Nathan Phillips, and the WaPo was just quoting Phillips. I don't see how the Post can be liable for what Phillips said.

[quote]"These three statements state that (Sandmann) 'blocked' Nathan Phillips and 'would not allow him to retreat,'" the order reads.

All of the statements the judge referenced were quotes from Phillips attributed directly to him.

Bertelsman said the amended complaint argues that Phillips "deliberately lied" and "had an unsavory reputation." The new complaint states the Washington Post should have known about Phillips due to prior coverage.

Marburger said Nick's attorneys will need to show the newspaper was indeed wrong for trusting Phillips. Then, they would also need to show that by allowing Phillips to say he was blocked and not allowed to retreat that Nick was libeled, Marburger said.[/quote]
