Judge dismisses Nicholas Sandmann's $25M defamation lawsuit against Washington Post washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jul/…
William O. Bertelsman found that activist Nathan Phillips may have been wrong when he said he was “blocked” by the teen and not allowed to “retreat,” but that such statements represented @washingtonpost ‘s opinion which is protected by the First Amendment.
So, a federal judge says that @washingtonpost ‘s Covington reports, disguised as factual news, were actually WaPo’s opinions. Opinions aren’t news. Democracy certainly does die in darkness.
