Actually the number stated here is low, because the jury were discussing punitive damages when CNN reached a settlement with the plaintiff. CNN ordered to pay $5M for defaming Navy veteran after Biden's disastrous Afghanistan pullout
A Florida jury on Friday found CNN liable for defaming a Navy veteran who helped evacuate people from Afghanistan following President Biden’s disastrous exit from the country.
So while the jury was debating punitive damages, in addition to the $5 million in actual damages, CNN and Zachary Young reached a settlement.
Louis G. Adolfsen, a defamation lawyer and founding member of the Melito & Adolfsen PC law firm in Manhattan, speculated that the settlement could be for as high as $25 million considering Panama City is a “rural or semi-rural” area where the jury pool is likely hostile to CNN.
Hat tip to The Other McCain: GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!
If you’re going to make the liberal media pay for their wrongdoing, try to find yourself a jury in Panama City, Florida.
