Federal judge denies New York Times, Rolling Stone, ABC, and CBS motion to dismiss Nick Sandmann's defamation lawsuit

The former Covington Catholic High School student eyes another payday

Four major media companies asked the court to dismiss defamation lawsuits filed by Nicholas Sandmann. On Thursday, a federal judge in Kentucky denied the dismissal motions by the New York Times, Rolling Stone, ABC, and CBS.

The media companies argued that their stories written about the former Covington Catholic High School student didn't amount to defamation. The district court judge rejected those arguments, greenlighting Sandmann's defamation suits to continue.

The basis of Sandmann's lawsuit against theTimes is that the paper published a news article that stated Sandmann "blocked" activist Nathan Phillips at the Lincoln Memorial on Jan. 18, 2019. The Times claimed that Sandmann "prevented Phillips' retreat while Nicholas and a mass of other young white boys surrounded, taunted, jeered and physically intimidated Phillips."

Sandmann's legal team contend that Phillips' statements were false and defamatory. Sandmann's attorneys argue that the media companies "failed to engage in 'basic journalistic due diligence,' which would have revealed Phillips' lack of credibility." Attorneys for Sandmann also point out that the media outlets ignored all the available footage from the incident, which showed the full context of the confrontation and disproved Phillips' claims.

In the motion to dismiss, the Times argued that its article was "a standard piece of investigative journalism" and therefore not libelous.

CBS argued that the "statements at issue cannot be libelous because the publications in full included statements more favorable to Sandmann's view of the events."

Senior Judge William O. Bertelsman of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky rejected the dismissal motions, saying that the media outlets should have vetted for accuracy before publishing the articles.

"Under Kentucky law, a writing is defamatory 'if it tends to (1) bring a person into public hatred, contempt or ridicule; (2) cause him to be shunned or avoided; or (3) injure him in his business or occupation.' The allegations of the Complaint fit this definition precisely," Bertelsman wrote. "Defendant published a statement by Phillips that was made after Sandmann had departed for home, a statement to which Sandmann had no opportunity to reply in real time. While Sandmann had such an opportunity later, and such evidence might be admissible to show lack of malice, it is not a defense to the defamatory meaning of Phillips' original statement itself."

Sandmann stated that the "news media caused him to be harassed by the public, causing him great emotional distress." His legal team alleges that the Times article "is now forever a part of the historical Internet record and will haunt and taint Nicholas for the remainder of his natural life and impugn his reputation for generations to come."

On Thursday, Sandmann's attorney Lin Wood wrote on Twitter: "CNN & Washington Post previously settled defamation cases filed against them by @N1ckSandmann. 2 down, 6 to go."

"In light of media propaganda we have been experiencing on an increasing basis since January of 2019, DISCOVERY in the remaining cases should be extremely revealing," Wood tweeted. "Motions to Dismiss @N1ckSandmann defamation lawsuits filed in KY federal court against NY Times, Rolling Stone, ABC, & CBS were just DENIED. NBC motion has previously been DENIED. Gannett motion was briefed on different time schedule & a DENIAL is expected in next few weeks."

Sandmann agreed to settlements for undisclosed amounts with CNN in January, and with the Washington Post in July, which were originally filed in February 2019 and were seeking $250 million.

Sandmann, who is now a college freshman, recently began working for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) re-election campaign. In August, Sandmann delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention.

Days after computer theft from Philly elections warehouse, reporter strolls inside, walks by rows of voting machines — with no one else around

The reporter said he roamed the warehouse unattended for several minutes before being asked to leave

After a report in a major newspaper of stolen computer equipment from a major U.S. city's elections warehouse, one may be inclined to conclude that the premises would be buttoned up a bit afterward.

But apparently that wasn't the case at Philadelphia's elections warehouse — at least not on Thursday when WHYY-TV reporter Max Marin said he was able to enter the facility with no problem, walk past rows of voting machines, and just hang out all by his lonesome for several minutes while recording the breach on his cellphone:

A laptop and USB devices were stolen sometime this week from the Philadelphia’s elections storage warehouse. I wen… https://t.co/TZz3TaG11b

— Max M. Marin (@Max M. Marin)1601569693.0

Marin wrote that he "strolled past hundreds of voting machines, various boxes, and other unidentified equipment without seeing other people."

"Eventually" he "stumbled upon a staffer in an office, who said press was not allowed in the building and escorted the reporter to the door, locking it behind him. The staffer declined to answer questions about security, or answer why it was so easy to enter. No security cameras were immediately visible, either inside or outside the building," Marin added.

He also noted in his report that upon leaving the warehouse, a guard was visible at the other side of the building and more staffers arrived at the facility later, with one taking up a station outside the door.

What's the background?

The Philadelphia Inquirer noted earlier this week that the items stolen were a laptop belonging to an on-site employee for the company that supplies the voting machines and several memory sticks used to program the machines. The paper said the theft sparked a "scramble to investigate and to ensure the machines had not been compromised."

City officials privately expressed concern that President Donald Trump and his allies might use news of the theft to cast doubt on the integrity of the city's elections "in light of false claims and conspiracy theories he cited during Tuesday's presidential debate," the Inquirer reported.

The paper added that officials "initially refused to confirm the theft or that an investigation had been opened. They only did so after The Inquirer informed them it would be reporting the incident based on sources who were not authorized to publicly discuss it."

Far-left Mayor Jim Kenney weighed in, telling the paper in a statement: "I have immediately committed to making necessary police resources available to investigate this incident and find the perpetrators. I have also committed to the city commissioners additional resources to provide enhanced security at the warehouse going forward. This matter should not deter Philadelphians from voting, nor from having confidence in the security of this election."

Yet the WHYY reporter still got inside

In the wake of Marin's report of lax security at the warehouse, he said Deputy Commissioner Nick Custodio told him a security guard should have been stationed outside the door he walked through — but didn't know if the guard was supposed to be there 24 hours or only during operating hours.

Custodio works for the Office of City Commissioners, which oversees elections in Philadelphia, and told WHYY he would address the situation.

In response to the theft and Marin's breach of the warehouse, city spokesperson Mike Dunn told the station new safeguards would include:

Greatly increasing the number of security personnel stationed at the site (24/7);

Adding a round-the-clock police presence;

Instituting a strict logging procedure for anyone entering and exiting the buildings;

Enforcing strict adherence to the current policy.

Russian authorities stage rabbi’s death in undercover terror sting operation

Moscow says it nabbed 2 suspects who are leaders of extremist group known as ‘Citizens of the USSR,’ which began targeting and threatening Jewish community of Krasnodar last year

JTA — Authorities in Russia staged the death of a rabbi as part of a sting operation that ended with the arrest of two alleged terrorists who are said to have ordered to have him killed.

The operation has been ongoing since last year, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs revealed last week. The ministry neither named the suspects, who were identified only as being 60 and 70, nor indicated when they had been arrested.

The suspects are leaders of an extremist group known as Citizens of the USSR, which does not recognize the dissolution of the Soviet Union, according to the ministry.

Last year, members of that movement began targeting and threatening the Jewish community of Krasnodar, a city in southern Russia, the ministry said. Murder was among the threats.

An undercover counterterrorism agent approached the suspects and offered to kill Rabbi Aryeh Leib Tkatch, chairman of the Jewish Community of Krasnodar, if they accepted him into their ranks as a senior member. The suspects agreed and a police makeup artist worked with Tkatch on a photoshoot in which his death was staged.

The agent presented the photos to the suspects as proof he had done their bidding. They were arrested after giving the agent certificates accepting him into their ranks as a field commander, the ministry’s report said.

Under communism, open religious worship, especially by Jews, was largely prohibited. The collapse of communism led to a revival of Jewish life in Russia with support from the government of President Vladimir Putin.

WTF is this?

Federal Government considers amnesty for illegal workers amid coronavirus-caused shortage

The Australian Government could introduce an amnesty for illegal workers to come forward without fear of being deported, with Agriculture Minister David Littleproud saying a decision on the idea could be made within weeks.

Key points:

The Government has faced calls for an amnesty for years

The Victorian Farmers Federation says the change would make good business sense

Australian farms are facing a labour shortage due to COVID-19 border closures

Mr Littleproud said the Government had discussed an amnesty for foreigners that do not have work permits, as a potential initiative to help address a farm worker shortage.

"There's been ongoing [discussions], in fact the Immigration Minister, the Home Affairs Minister, myself and even the Workforce Minister have been working through these issues, and that takes time to make sure we've got the right intelligence," he said.

"We'll go back and make sure in the coming weeks that we make a decision around this, it is something that is being looked at."

The Victorian Farmers Federation first called for an amnesty to flush out illegal workers from the horticulture industry in 2017, acknowledging the sector had a problem with unpermitted labour.

But it was in July, months after Australia closed its borders to international travellers, that Victorian Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes asked the Commonwealth to consider an amnesty ahead of the forthcoming harvest.

Western Australia's Agriculture Minister Alannah MacTiernan has supported the idea.

Mr Littleproud said an amnesty was a complex idea that could not be rushed into.

"The states just need to cool their jets and understand that we're playing in a bigger sandpit that needs to be understood before we make any decision around that," Mr Littleproud said.

"We'll look at this through a security lens, but we'll also look at this through a workforce lens and make sure we also try and address the exploitation of workers in this country."

Mr Littleproud said he did not believe Australian agriculture stood out as a sector with excessive illegal workers.
