I am betting between NBC and CNN( for publishing his social security number on tv) he will be looking at 100 million with a payout of 5-10 million.
The 5-10 million should be predicated on both NBC and CNN staffs being fired. Funny thing is, both networks have done this enough to justify the lawsuits.
No, no, firing them would be NBC and CNN putting this episode behind them. Leave them on staff so that FOX, FR et al, can have pinatas to bash on a continuing basis. It would be the gift that keeps on giving.
Channel 8 out of Dallas libeled the DA of McClennan County back in the 80s. The jury awarded him something like $20,000,000 with the stipulation that if they appealed and lost, they would also be liable for for daily interest while the case was on appeal. They wrote him a check immediately.
