Haven’t yet seen that satirical flick? Better find it, watch it, and compare and contrast where we are at this moment in time.
At this time I would like to release that NBC and I have reached a settlement. The terms are confidential.

Unfortunately, such damages have become the cost of doing business for many in the media in the age of advocacy journalism where the narrative is more important than the news. …https://t.co/qUu2yB9YQr

…Having a MAGA-hatted, racist, pro-life high school student abusing an elderly Native American was a fact too good to check — even when it required as little as watching the unedited videotapes.

Jonathan Turley: “Our Pride is Showing”: NBC Settles With Nicholas Sandmann
Former Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann has reached another settlement with a major news organization over the widespread false reporting of his encounter with a Native American activist in front of the Lincoln Memorial on January 18, 2019. Sandmann previously settled with the Washington Post and CNN. He has now settled his $275 million defamation lawsuit against NBC…
Nick Sandmann has now set legal precedent for and jump-started the much needed ability of people to sue the media for slander and libel, something that has pretty much been ignored in the last several decades … and which led to our current ‘fake news’ media trainwreck. Sandmann has expressed his support for Kyle Rittenhouse, and has strongly suggested he and his lawyers seriously consider filing his own lawsuits with the media and others who lied about him and his recent case/trial. That said, I am not in favor of making Rittenhouse a ‘celebrity’. For me, I felt he was ‘not guilty’ as I looked at the circumstances and the evidence and the laws and agreed his was a strong and valid case of right of ‘self-defense’. To me the trial was indeed all about retaining and preserving that right. Now it is time for Rittenhouse to get on with his life the best way he can, and for future legal cases to use his case as legal precedent. His trial was that important for all of us.

I got a covid question. How come it seems more widespread now than ever even with vaccines? Why is FL no different than other states when they ignore it? Like whats benefit of freaking out when it appears freaking out is as effective as letting people make their own life choices?
