Politcal Memes, etc

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

As you know, 95% of the numbers are not readily available.

In the end, Sandmann is rumoured to have received the full $275 million from CNN.

I was not aware that a judge later tossed the Nunes settlement.

Perhaps a judge may yet toss the Dominion/FOX settlement. :)

Would you be so kind as to post your copy-n-paste sources?

Anyway, we have no way of ever knowing the totals paid out by CNN/FOX in settlements.

But you are free to believe whatever you choose.

Leftster. :wink:

There used to be a word that defined people who leanedleft or right. That word has been lost, due in no small part to divisive media and government labelling.

Centrist.

Ring any bells?

They are generally the most rational thinkers in the room. Solution seeking, bridge building, oriented rather than problem fixated dividers.

Hey no worries, admitting a mistake can be hard for some...

As for where I got the info, try G O O G L E....:)

And if Sandman settled for $275 million, it wouldn't be a settlement would it?...But give you kudos for guessing right at the very max...

And the judge tossing out the legal action brought forward by Nunes wouldn't be a settlement would it?...

Never seen you so rattled...

Gretchen Carlson v. Fox News: Settled for $20 million in 2016.

Julie Roginsky v. Fox News: Settled out of court in 2018.

Allegations of Racial Discrimination: Multiple settlements and legal actions over the years.

Smartmatic v. Fox News: Filed in February 2021, similar to Dominion's case, but no settlement reported yet.

Tucker Carlson v. Sarah Palin: Dismissed in 2022.

Liz Mair v. Fox News: Filed in 2016, settled out of court.

Andrea Tantaros v. Fox News: Filed in 2016, settled out of court in 2018.

Julie Roginsky v. Fox News: Filed in 2017, settled out of court in 2018.

Allegations of Sexual Harassment: Multiple settlements and legal actions over the years.

Allegations of Racial Discrimination: Multiple settlements and legal actions over the years.

Allegations of Gender Discrimination: Multiple settlements and legal actions over the years.

Allegations of Workplace Harassment: Multiple settlements and legal actions over the years.

Well it's widely believed that Sandmann got the full $275M from CNN in the end.

Don't believe me, try G O O G L E....:)

BTW, I did enter a portion of your first copy-n-paste into google... zero results.

(that's why I asked)

I took your advice and searched it and NOWHERE did I find anything that suggested he received a $275 million dollar settlement on a $275 million lawsuit...

I did learn what the lawsuit was about, and anyone who thinks he settled for $275 million is bonkers...

This was some of the information I did find upon googling the case and apologies in advance for this lawyers language....:)
As a lawyer, with 27 years experience, I can tell you definitively that he never was awarded "hundreds of millions of dollars" he suffered no substantial, compensatory, damages, and punitive damages, if any, cannot be completely unmoored from compensatory damages. So if he's lucky, he received mid six figures. Anyone who believes that he received hundreds of millions of dollars is stupid as fuck.

^ Yet another unattributed quote. Image

For all we know, you just quoted Chef Boi RD in full troll mode at lawyersRus.

("stupid as fuck" gives him away) :wink:

Also, not sure why you're receiving different results from google than I.

This is going nowhere, enough of this nonsense, let's get down to brass tacks...
