Kentucky High Schooler Suing CNN For $275M Wants NBC, AP, Bill Maher Next

“Certainly we’re looking very closely at NBC, we’re looking very closely at AP, we’re looking very closely at HBO for the conduct of Bill Maher, and we’re looking at some of the people like Kathy Griffin who sent out these horrible tweets,” Todd McMurtry told Fox News Channel’s The Story with Martha MacCallum tonight.

The remarks come after the Covington Catholic high school student hit CNN on Tuesday with a $275 million defamation suit – just as McMurtry told FNC he would do after suing the Post for $250 million a month ago.

Flying a red state flag in the recent filing, McMurtry also invoked the President of the United States against one of his favorite targets, the Jeff Zucker-led cable newser.

“Contrary to its ‘Facts First’ public relations ploy, CNN ignored the facts and put its anti-Trump agenda first in waging a 7-day media campaign of false, vicious attacks against Nicholas, a young boy who was guilty of little more than wearing a souvenir Make America Great Again cap while on a high school field trip to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the 58-page complaint declared.

Busy shitheads hoping for a settlement. Bill Maher already beat Trump in a similar lawsuit.

Just for being a complete and utter waste of oxygen.

I hope the courts throw these frivolous claims out.

He may be an entitled little prick, but all these lawsuits are being nrought by ADULTS on his behalf. He may want to just go on with his privileged little life, but they won't let him.
