| #17 settlement must be a fraction of $275m. Not $275m. |

| #11 *sheesh... his cut needs to be $3m at least. * the WaPo suit is asking $250m |

| #10 Lin Wood the lawyer will prob'y not settle for less than $10 million... his cut is likely one-third, and he probably expected to take at least $10m given all the time invested / opportunity cost. Also, several more suits are in play incl $25 vs WaPo, so Lin Wood will prob'y want to make sure the first settlement is a very high one. I'd guess more like $25-40m. |

| #9 From Instapundit: "'We just want this to go away so we can get back to mourning the death of Qassem Soleimani,’ one senior CNN executive was heard to say." |

| #8 Shoulda explained something else - not knowing the specific settlement details, the general reason Nick's settlement isn't taxable is this defamation settlement is / should be considered 'damages to personal reputation'. If someone sues for harm caused to one's career / livelihood, that's considered 'damage to professional reputation' and thus taxable, the concept being the award in this situation is considered in lieu of lost income because of said defamation. |

| #7 Saw THIS on Fox 19 website in Cincinnati. Though WKRP was entertaining back in the day. Heh. Lin Wood has WaPO, NBC Universal, Gannet, and Phillips in his targeting folder. |

| #5 #3 I want to see the terms and the $ amount; I hope it's at least $10 million, untaxed to Nick in this case. ^ This. There must be pain. That's all the flatworms of the left understand. |

| #2 Sandman has more money and is wiser than CNN; if you do not know exactly what is going on you should keep your mouth shut. Good for this young man. |

| #1 CNN is cutting staff and downsizing ops. Get the financial resources now to go after NBC et al, the bigger money. |
