| Washington Post Trying To Dismiss Lawsuit From Nick Sandmann | |
| 2019-04-11 | |
| [DAILYWIRE] In a move that should surprise absolutely no one, lawyers for The Washington Post have filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit from the family of Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann, who was smeared by the media as a racist after a clip of him standing silently while a Native American man beat a drum in his face was shared online. The Post "asserts its stories were accurate and did not impugn the reputation of Covington (Ky.) Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann," the news outlet wrote of its motion. The Post wrote in court documents that its articles "may not have been flattering of the Covington Catholic students" who were seen in the video "but they do not give rise to a defamation claim by Sandmann." "Indeed, the Post’s overall coverage ‐ including the articles that the Complaint fails to mention ‐ was not only accurate; it was ultimately favorable to him," the motion states. Sandmann is suing the Post for $250 million ‐ the amount Amazon founder Jeff Bezos paid for the news outlet in 2013 ‐ claiming the outlet defamed him in its coverage of the incident.
