zftcg Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I’ll take “Willfully Misleading Headlines” for $400, Alex ... Also, isn’t they’re already a thread on this? (Just so we’re clear, I meant that the Examiner’s headline was misleading, not Groot’s thread title.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthycat Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I hope it sends a huge message to media to not continue the trend of misleading reporting like that - I hope he got hundreds of millions from that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zftcg Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 11 hours ago, Zow said: Hundreds of millions?? Like I said, misleading headline. The $275M number was something his lawyers threw out there to get media attention. They knew they would never get anything close to that. And the Examiner's headline stating that CNN "settled a $275M lawsuit" implies that was what they settled for. Whatever the number is, my guess is that it's closer to court costs than it is $275M. In fact, I'll tell you what: if it turns out he actually got that much, I will personally pay everyone reading this post the same amount* * Offer not valid to residents of Florida, Arizona and Planet Earth.

Well, its enough that his lawyers said 'yeah, we will take that haul' and didn't let the kid Kramer them. I'd say it's quite a large chunk of $.

I don't have any idea what came out in initial disclosures, discovery, etc. and haven't really followed the pleadings. But I'd be surprised if he received a lot of money. Here's the opinion when WaPo filed its Motion to Dismiss. It isn't the sort of opinion that would make me call my client and celebrate. By the same token, it's a different case and CNN's was denied.
