YOU remember Nick Sandmann of Covington High School in the United States, right? He was the one who was wrongly accused by the hate-stream media of being very nasty indeed to a Native American.

When it became clear that this was a monstrous lie, he was then accused of committing a Facecrime, namely, smiling while white.

Nick Sandmann was threatened, his family was threatened and the school had to close down for a few days owing to death threats. This all occurred because the Fake News hacks at places such as CNN and MSNBC couldn’t wait to run with a story that was too good to be true – white, Catholic boy at pro-life march wearing a MAGA hat was mean to a Native American.

That was a disgusting lie that changed 16-year-old Nick Sandmann’s life. However, the Sandmann family didn’t take it lying down: they sued CNN for $800million, as well as the Washington Post and NBC Universal. On Tuesday CNN settled.

Oh what a sweet victory it was to read, on CNN, that ‘CNN settles lawsuit with Nick Sandmann stemming from viral video controversy’. ‘Controversy’, by the way, is CNN-speak for ‘We spread a fake news story about a 16-year-old boy and attempted to destroy his life because we are nasty, hate-filled bullies’.
