They all will have to be more careful which would not be a bad thing. With that being the case it leaves open the big possibility of a settlement so there isn't a court precedent.

I believe he will be able to make a case for harm but the threats will play very little into it. Maybe a bit. Everyone that get in the news gets them from goof balls sitting in a basement somewhere. He may be able to make the case that it's not an everyday thing for him but I doubt it ever gets that far.

CNN will settle.

Yeah but if they do discover some very damaging stuff in discovery, CNN will wave a lot of money at the family. Who is going to turn down 8, possibly 9 figures just to prove a point (and possibly end up with nil)?

We have a number of posters here both left and right that are absolutely incapable of reasoned thought and discussion on a political topic. You'd have better luck talking about Israel with members of ISIS and some ultraorthodox jews.
thanks for the advice...……..I guess i'm just stubborn that way...…..I never use ignore...…….

Always a possibility, certainly we can agree that would alone be their decision and I'm not going to guess.

One thing to note, there are a lot of other suits, so that would diversify that risk as they're not just suing CNN.

It really makes this forum more palatable. Really cuts out a lot of garbage. Don't know what you're missing.

A lawyer representing Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann said in a new Fox News interview that Sandmann plans to sue CNN for at least $250 million.

L. Lin Wood, the attorney, said in an interview with Fox News host Mark Levin airing Sunday that they will file the suit early next week, on Monday or Tuesday.

Would a lawyer that thinks he has a real case announce that he is going to do something ---- or just do it?
