[quote:Anonymous Coward 77679633:MV80MDk5MDMzXzc0MzM2OTA2X0M5MThCQ0Ez] [quote:Geraldgar:MV80MDk5MDMzXzc0MzM2NDI1XzZBRkYxQ0M4] So looks like newspapers not only don't have to report real news but they are free to slander at will... Pretty obvious if it wasn't before this now that the media has been weaponized against the people. [/quote] This is what frightens me most of all. It's unreal. At this rate, enemy of the people like Trump preaches! This was the epitome of fake news, but somehow they are vindicated in a court of law?? Whaaat??? [/quote]
Original Message
A federal judge on Friday dismissed a multi-million dollar defamation lawsuit against The Washington Post over its coverage of an interaction between a Kentucky high school student and a Native American activist on the National Mall, which gained national attention after the video went viral.
Judge William O. Bertelsman dismissed the suit, stating that the Post's coverage was protected as free speech and rejecting Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann's argument that the newspaper implied inaccurately that Sandmann had behaved in a menacing or violent way. The Post had quoted the activist, a veteran named Nathan Phillips, who said Sandmann stood in his way to get to the Lincoln Memorial in the Jan 19 incident.
