Word came down yesterday that CNN had reached a settlement in the lawsuit brought on by Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann.

Sandmann had sought $275 million from CNN and although the amount of the settlement was not revealed, we can assure you that it was nowhere close to that number.

Sandmann and his classmates had a encounter with an elderly Native American man while visiting Washington, D.C., on a school trip in January of last year.

“CNN brought down the full force of its corporate power, influence, and wealth on Nicholas by falsely attacking, vilifying, and bullying him despite the fact that he was a minor child,” reads the suit, which was filed in March 2019.

Sandmann and his family still have lawsuits pending against NBC Universal and the Washington Post over their coverage of the incident. The Sandmann family sought a combined $800 million in damages from CNN, the Post, and NBC Universal.

“This case will be tried not one minute earlier or later than when it is ready,” Sandmann’s attorney Lin Wood said of the remaining lawsuits.
