From the O.C. Register:
In legal news, CNN recently settled what is being described as a multi-million dollar defamation lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High school student Nick Sandmann over its false and misleading coverage of a viral confrontation with a Native American elder that left viewers with the impression that the teenager and his pals were being racist provocateurs.
Turns out that Sandmann’s group had been taunted with racially charged, profane rants by the Black Hebrew Israelites.
...Thanks to Google and shoddy memories, Sandmann will forever be known as the racist kid who harassed a Native American elder, even though there’s absolutely no truth to it whatsoever.
What could push 'the most trusted name in news' to commit such eye-wateringly expensive folly, all in the name of a narrative?
It's a question worth asking. We invite you to have a look at this piece from a few years back, in the hope that you will find it enlightening.
