Couple of quick thoughts on the Covington Catholic school story: the MSM are busily retracting and apologizing like mad now that the full story is coming out. I think they're deathly afraid of the lawsuits because:

#1, it's private Catholic school and probably has plenty of funds to fight and WIN a lawsuit against these media clowns… but more importantly, just by suing them…

#2, in the course of a lawsuit, the plaintiff would be able to use the legal discovery process to get access to the internal emails of the people in the news agencies who pushed the story (and their editors), which might expose them as a pack of deceitful frauds (and God knows what else). Expose the Fake News for everyone to see, red-handed colluding to railroad a bunch of children (who then received death threats).
