$250 million? I don't know how Bezos will ever afford that now that isn't getting $3 billion from AOC.

Considering he is going to be the "Covington Kid" in every job interview for the rest of his life, I think it might not be enough...

I don't know how true this is. The public has a very short memory, and I believe that he has pretty much been cleared in the public eye. Even though it was only a couple weeks ago I can't remember his name.

I'm not trying to justify the Post and the slander done to him, I'm not even denying that he deserves some recompense. Just that $259Mill is ridiculous amount of money, and that the damages aren't that much.

I can’t imagine what Kathy Griffin is thinking now. AOC isn’t worried because she doesn’t think, is broke and besides Bernie will protect her. Jim Carey, lol.

In the suit they mentioned how many times the falsehood was retweeted, so these former B stars, think Allysa Mallano, who still have some money and who have millions of Twitter followers, are in serious trouble.

The penalty has to be enough that it hurts. Otherwise, it's just part of the price of doing business and isn't much of a deterrent.

Just try not to smile when reading the article

CNN to be sued for $250 million by Covington High School for their false reports on the Covington High School students behavior during the March for Life.

I guess fake news has a price.

I hope Covington H.S. wins the suit. :rules: Maybe THEN the leftist media will think twice before printing fake news.

I doubt it, they may settle, but require a gag order, on any details released. So they can simply go back to business as usual. $250 million sounds like a lot of money, but CNN probably pays more than that in legal fees every year. You can bet no left wing MSM outlet will even mention the lawsuit, much less, how much was paid.JMHO

Well, hang on there pilgrim. $250 million for Nicholas Sandmann's libel suit against the Washington Post and an additional $250 million law suit against CNN must raise a red flag to anybody who's following this in the 'progressive, populist, communist, liberal' movement. That's 1/2 a BILLION dollars we are talking about. That's bound to raise attention. ;-)
