We have previously discussed the case of former Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann who was repeatedly and falsely called a racist in an encounter with a Native American activist in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Various media organizations have apologized or settled cases with Sandmann for their unfair coverage, including CNN.
However, when Sandmann spoke at the Republic National Convention, CNN’s political analyst Joe Lockhart again attacked him personally after he criticized how the media got the story wrong. CNN’s Jeff Yang also attacked the teenager and even suggested that his speech proved that he was not innocent. …
What happened to Sandmann was a disgrace for the media and he had every right to speak publicly about his treatment by the [news] media.
Sandmann is a pro-life kid who wanted to demonstrate against abortion. He sought to play a meaningful role in his political system, which is what we all have encouraged. Indeed, CNN has aired many such calls for young people to have their voices heard. He was in Washington as part of the annual “March for Life.” This is one of those voices.
Sandmann spoke about his horrific experience in being labeled the aggressor in the confrontation when all he did was stand there as an activist pounded a drum in his face. Sandmann said this morning in an interview that he only learned at 3 am in the morning on the bus home that he was being labeled a racist who attacked or harassed this activist.

Actually, we’re not surprised at all!
“Liberal, female and minority: America’s new gun owners aren’t who you’d think,” CNN reports.

15-year-old locked and loaded
On Sunday afternoon 09-25-22, Madison police were dispatched to the 5700 block of Raymond Rd. for a report of a man being chased by another man with a firearm.
As officers began to flood the area, a suspect description was given by the 911 caller.
One officer indicated that the suspect may have been heading onto Russett Rd. Another officer, who was traveling on Russett Rd. from the opposite direction indicated that he saw a group of individuals, at least one of whom matched the suspect description from the gun call, who were running from the area.
The officers believed that these subjects were likely involved, due to the description and proximity, as well as the fact that the suspects immediately began to run upon seeing officers.
Immediately, two officers began pursuing one subject who they thought was likely the suspect. This foot chase lead through yards and courtyards of apartment complexes in the area, and ultimately was stopped when officers caught the suspect trying to hop a fence.
As officers took this suspect into custody, they located a loaded and chambered .40 caliber firearm on his person.
The subject was later revealed to be 15 years old, and the gun was determined to have been stolen previously in the City of Madison.
After investigation, it was learned that the 15 year old was not believed to be the original subject of the first weapons call, and that investigation is ongoing. The 15 year old was conveyed to the Juvenile Reception Center (JRC) on charges of Possession of a Dangerous Weapon by a Person Under 18, Possession of a Stolen Firearm, and Resisting Arrest.

Found this @ConservativeMomma: I dig her, dawg.
“The Left are the bullies. We all know this as we sit quietly watching Democrat Cities being torn apart by “peaceful” protestors. While we witness physical harm come to those who wear a MAGA hat. While we hear vile threats hurled at those who say “all lives matter.” While we are called hateful words because we respect our flag. We all see it.
Last night I watched Nick Sandmann give his side of the story. Tears swelled up in my eyes because I saw my son in him.
A good kid.
A kid of faith.
A kid attending the March for Life.
A kid.
Just a kid.
Sandmann was painted as a hateful racist by the media and Democrats across our nation. I had family and “friends,” spouting hateful words about this kid on their social media sites.
It literally breaks my heart at how this kid’s world was turned upside down because of a hat. A hat worn by ALL races, ethnicities and religions. A hat that symbolizes Freedom and the desire to KEEP Freedom, because over the course of the years we have seen our freedoms eroding.
God Bless Nick Sandmann, we need more like this young man.
More who will not be bullied.
Who believe in America, and the Freedom she still clings to.”
God bless Nick Sandmann, and all Conservatives who will not be bullied.
Full Disclosure: I sported my own red MAGA hat,… the one my other gave me last Christmas, … down in Chicago, … I got nothing but compliments and thumbs up.
Don’t let the thugbuggerist bullies get you down.

Good catch -Great quote. Once again, CNN comes off as a mean-spirited, spiteful bully. Which is what they and Joe Lockheart are in spades.

Well said Dog Man.
The laws need to change, to allow slander to more easily apply to so called journalists.
We don’t want to over burden or curtail Free speech, but as a protected class, journalists need to be held to higher standards.
They need to pay damages personally not by big corp.
They would be more circumspect if they paid for their scurrilous coverage out of their own pockets.
