This is compelling. Perhaps the little shit and his parents will learn something for once.
Learn what? He won. The Post (and CNN), so far, have lost.

It's all speculation given that it's a non-public settlement.
Our libel laws have long favored the media in ways that wouldn't be the case in other countries such as the UK. Even if the settlement amount was not large, the settlement only occurred because there were still claims pending against the WaPo. Certainly the lawsuit brought additional attention to the Post's biased coverage.

+1, watch the video. It’s absolutely shocking. NSFW due to language from the protesters.
The media is absolutely shameful the way they portages what happened, despite surely knowing the truth. No credibility at all. None. Zero.
Granted the video was assembled by the kid’s lawyer, but it is real footage and it shows how the Post just bought the lies that Nathan Phillips was spewing verbatim.
The Post’s journalists on that story should have been fired within a week. They were worse that that liar Janet Cooke because they were messing with real kids’ lives. They should be so ashamed of the garbage they publish now. It’s not journalism, just agit-prop trash.
They can't feel shame. Remember, with Democrats the ends justify the means.
It is quite Machiavellian of the Democrats:
Men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, because it belongs to everybody to see you, to few to come in touch with you. Everyone sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them; and in the actions of all men, and especially of princes, which it is not prudent to challenge, one judges by the result.
For that reason, let a prince have the credit of conquering and holding his state, the means will always be considered honest, and he will be praised by everybody because the vulgar are always taken by what a thing seems to be and by what comes of it; and in the world there are only the vulgar, for the few find a place there only when the many have no ground to rest on.

Hope WAPO paid the big bucks.
Here are just a few of the articles written at the time. Google Sandmann and Covington and you will find more than two pages of WAPO links--to include hardly any about the settlement.
And, they may be there, but I didn't see any apologies from Hesse, Givhan, or Capehart, or others, for that matter.
The kid was 17. And, these adults did not care.

And, as I recall, it was on the front page and throughout the Style section. Can't remember if there was anything on the editorial page, but pretty sure there were op-eds against the kid. What happened to real reporting? What happened to getting both sides of a story? What happened to checking facts?
And, those people on CNN were awful.
He may be 18 now, but he was 17 when this occurred. Inexcusable on the part of our media and an example of why Fox has so many viewers. It may not be unbiased, but all the rest never show anything but leftwing bias. I see that on the network news that I watch every day. I watch Fox to see what the other side of the story might be.

That you have a problem with him AFTER watching that video shows the content of your character.
Nothing polite about it. and you know it.
Those kids were verbally abused by the black Israelites and then that nut jjob Native American gets in their face and you have nothing better to do than critique the kids? You’re such an utter moron.
The kids were slandered because they were white, Catholic and conservative. The four black men who spewed filth and hatred were largely ignored.

Exactly. More like a hypocritical racist/bigot...who supports destruction in our cities in the name of racial injustice, who puts signs on their lawn that say "hate has no home here", yet supports the publication of lies about a Catholic high school student while ignoring the behavior of the "adults" in the Black Israelites and Native American groups.

+1
And, people are against the kid getting a settlement. Amazing what the media tried to do to him. Do they have no conscience at all? Phillips' story fit the narrative and in the video, Joy Behar said honestly why they did it: "Because we want to get rid of Trump."
So, let's try to ruin the life of a 17 year old. Very, very sad.
The real disgust for me comes from how grown adults in mainstream tried to destroy this kid as well as his peers. I hope he gets millions and millions from them and becomes an anti-mainstream activist.[/quote]
Thanks to incredibly biased media like this, he will be.

No. I don’t know it. And you don’t either.
Watch the video. It explains everything. It shows the events the media conveniently left out.
