There are already claims that Sandman’s suit is a Threat to the 1st Amendment. The MSM has long assumed that there can be NO liability for anything they “report.”

Sandmann is a private citizen and a minor. Pay up you jerks! All of you.

” Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas just wrote a concurring opinion in which he suggested that NYT v. Sullivan, a landmark First Amendment ruling involving defamation cases, should be revisited:”

Thomas is right. Sullivan requires that, in order to beat the press, the accuser has to prove malice in intent. That’s an ambiguous standard, at best.

Can Sandmann et al prove malice? I’ve no doubt there was malice in the hearts and minds of his accusers, but don’t know how you can prove it.

Go Sandmann. Twist it until they squeal.

The liberal media has been feeding unrest to the mob, not caring how much violence it results in, while every act of violence by the left goes unreported by them. Then they targeted a completely innocent minor, called him a racist and a bully, then gave his name and picture out to their whipped up mob.

Until the media propagandists suffer real consequences for spewing obnoxious falsehoods there will be no end to their fake “narrative(s)”.

What, the networks are claiming their first amendment rights include airing deceptive reports with the intent of imflaming public opinion?

The phrase "Yelling fire in a crowded theatre" comes to mind...

Can Nick Sandmann Save the First Amendment?

Can Nick Sandmann. Does that mean to fire him?
Fire Nick Sandmann and save the First Amendment?

Who is Nick Sandmann anyway? Is he another 12 year old reporter?

I must say these recent two examples were a real good one - two
punch against the media And their blatant deceit and disregard for the truth

Covington was ridiculous

But honestly this Smollett Molette thing that’s been going on now for weeks and just completely occupying the media- that totally blowing up at them is beyond hilarious. Stunningly incredibly funny. What can they say ?

How can they possibly blame Donald J Trump our great President for this

The modern-day news media has, to a large extent, become the propaganda arm of the Democrat/Progressive Party.

I’ve asserted since the day of the event that the inevitable lawsuits will make that day a turning point in how the press operates.

The reporters in place won’t change, but their bosses might just change the reporters in place if enough owner’s capital is put at risk by the present propagandistic reporting. $250 million would be a good start, and I have a feeling a Kentucky jury just might agree.
