CNN is next on the lawsuit list for media-slandered Covington high schooler — and the amount is eye-watering

By Jon Dougherty

Attorneys for Nick Sandmann, the Covington, Ky., Catholic high schooler whose reputation was wrongly savaged by the mainstream media in January, promised a day of reckoning for the various outlets responsible.

That day has already come forÂ The Washington Post. Attorneys filed a $250 million suit against the paper last month, alleging the paper â€œwrongfully targeted and bullied Nicholas because he was the white, Catholic student wearing a red â€˜Make America Great Againâ€™ souvenir cap on a school field trip to the January 18 March for Life in Washington, D.C.â€

Next up:Â CNN, according to an interview with L. Lin Wood, Sandmann’s primary attorney, which will air on Mark Levin’sÂ Fox News program Sunday.

During the interview, Wood characterized CNN’s coverage of the Covington controversy in general, and on Sandmann in particular, as “more vicious in its direct attacks on Nicholas than the Washington Post.”

“Now you say you’ve seen the tape, if you took the time to look at the full context of what happened that day, Nicholas Sandmann did absolutely nothing wrong. He was as I’ve said to others, he was the only adult in the room,” Wood noted. “But you have a situation where CNN couldn’t resist the idea that here’s a guy with a young boy, that make America great again cap on. So they go after him.”

“They were vicious. It was false. CNN will be sued next week and the dollar figure in the CNN case may be higher than it was in the Washington Post,” Wood said, adding that he planned to file the suit March 11.

“I’ve got some young smart lawyers that are working hard as we speak. Double-checking and listen, when we file complaints, we’ve investigated it because we want to get it right. Maybe CNN can learn from that,” he added.
