I love how someone finally is taking on your heros at WaPo for their on-going journalistic malpractice. What they and others did to those kids - while you were probably cheering them on - was just sad.

Wow. You are one sad, angry loser. But you’re in HR, so of course. Everyone hates you at work, you know. They laugh behind your back, sometimes in your face.

WaPo did nothing wrong, this lawsuit is a joke, and will be dismissed.

Meanwhile, you have, as always, deflected, instead of answering my questions. So, I’ll just assume, then, that you fully understand that Donny is a lying con man, and that you are in his thrall because Limblow sings his praises, and you’re too stupid to resist his siren call. Stevie Miller, despite being a sick, hateful, racist sociopath, is your hero. Do I have everything about right?

Whatever floats your leaky little boat, Chicklet. Which, as I've observed and as exemplified by the above, is pretty much spending your time dredging up and spewing crap like the post above.

Well, this from WaPo:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/techn...=.e9e778165d37

At 5 p.m. on Saturday, still unaware of the moments preceding the viral video, The Post published its first story on what would become a days-long national argument about racism, the media and masculinity. The headline: “‘It was getting ugly’: Native American drummer speaks on his encounter with MAGA-hat-wearing teens.” The article quoted Phillips, saying he felt threatened by the teens. It also included a statement from the Catholic Diocese of Covington condemning the actions of the students seen in the video, in which they appeared to mock and taunt the Native American activist.

In other words, WaPo had half a story, but they felt like they had a pretty good narrative about Maga-hat-wearing kids taunting a Native American. So, they ran with that and threw a bunch of high school kids under the bus, and threw a bunch of gas on the fire of a social media shit storm.

Of course, in this story covering their own slip-shod reporting, they attempt to support their own actions. It was the "Trump internet" that "pounced" on their shitty reporting, and how DARE they do that. But WaPo wouldn't bother framing their own actions to rush a narrative out the door with half the facts as "pouncing" to try and stay ahead of the Twitter-verse or the NYT.

In just a few hours on Saturday, the story took off with comet-like speed, propelled in equal measures by social-media outrage and by news reporting that drafted on its wake. In a now all-too-familiar process, people chose sides, and each side fed off the other, with mainstream news accounts pushing the whole slush pile along.

But WaPo would never accuse themselves of "choosing sides", even as they couldn't wait to frame the story as a bunch of MAGA hat wearing kids ganging up on a poor Native American guy.

And, of course, even knowing they published half the story, they still try to get in a dig at the teenage kid at the end of this story:

Amid speculation that the boys might get an invitation to visit the White House, Savannah Guthrie announced that Sandmann would be interviewed Wednesday on the “Today Show.” Guthrie posted a photo of the two of them on Twitter, sitting in front of the cameras. Sandmann was smiling.

What a load of crap, like the kid was just waiting around the streets of DC waiting for something like this to happen to him, and now he's got his 5 minutes of fame.

Case dismissed? Doubt it. Go to trial? Doubt it. WaPo paying out some settlement money? Absolutely.

This lawsuit is going nowhere. You have to be a certified MAGAMoron to believe otherwise. All the Post did was to accurately quote Phillips and the Catholic Diocese of Covington, followed up shortly thereafter with a thorough discussion of the genesis of this viral story (your link) stating “This was a complex encounter involving many people with sharply different perspectives — we reported what we could verify by talking to participants and witnesses and examining the available video. As is often the case, reporting over time allows a more complete picture to emerge.” There was no malicious intent or willful disregard for the truth in their reporting.

In short, this kid self-identified as a bigoted moron via his MAGA hat and is now concerned about defamation of his character??? Please. His stupid hat defamed him far worse than the good-faith reporting in the Post. Meanwhile, your Dear Leader has now lied to you over 8,000 times.

For those of you predicting that this lawsuit will "go nowhere", or that its "a joke and will be dismissed", your favorite news rag took an apparent defensive step yesterday...only a month and a half after the original story was published and the damage was already done.

Would this - decidedly minimal - editors note have been published without the specter of a $250MM lawsuit? Doubtful.

Unlike the wingnut garbage you read which never print corrections. And no, this lawsuit is still going nowhere.
