COVINGTON, Ky. (FOX19) – CNN agreed Tuesday to settle a lawsuit with Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann.
The amount of the settlement was not made public during a hearing at the federal courthouse in Covington, Kentucky.
Sandmann’s lawsuit sought $800 million from CNN, the Washington Post and NBC Universal.
Go here to read the rest. When moral sanity comes again to this fair land of freedom, let it be known that one of the first effective push backs against the political correct madness was by a bunch of unjustly maligned Catholic school kids and their parents. Bravo! Go here to read about the online lynch mob that sought, on no evidence, to ruin the lives of these kids.
I hope he got at least eight figures.
I hope we find out the amount, and it’s a big amount, otherwise it won’t discourage the rest of the jackals.
I had forgotten just how horribly they were treated by the Catholic Left. I knew it, just had forgotten how bad. Glad to see justice, at least in one baby step, is being done.
Orwell nailed it years ago.
Isn’t that the truth!
God bless the young man.
It would take me awhile to find but I remember seeing once an image that looked like it was clipped from that dark side of the internet: 4chan.
IIRC, it was going over Kavanaugh and the Covington kids and talking about how all the arrayed misfortune aimed at them seemed to be going awry with the conclusion, “Could it be that God exists and is on their side?”
I don’t know if anybody was converted by this stray thought, but it did make think of those boys as the modern day Shadrach & friends, tossed into the modern flames, but protected still. I pray that may the Lord be with them and that His vengeance bring wisdom back to our society.
First order of business: establishing scholarships at the most “elite” schools of journalism to correct the course of a discipline that’s lost its collective mind.
The list of entities he sued included 3 dioceses in Kentucky. I hope at the very least he gets public apologies from them, but humility is not a virtue within our current hierarchy.
It was outrageous for the bishops with their knee jerk reactions to publicly accuse the young men of sinful behavior. Especially when the Covington Catholic H.S. adolescent males had just participated in the nation’s largest assembly that affirms the right to life. Can’t help but think the bishops’ condemnations fueled the media attacks.
Will their Excellencies publicly apologize by to the young men they have maligned? Only if the bishops are faced with shelling out some dough.
