Even Che Guevara shirt-wearing Redditors were commenting the next day that what the MSM was portraying was off the mark. The fact of the matter is the entities being sued did not practice even a smidgen of journalistic integrity and attempt to characterize the situation in its actual light. It was an intentional smear that they're paying dearly for and profoundly reinforces the accusations that they are biased organizations.

That was the next day. MSM had already gone bonkers before that.

I wish it would have gone to court.  Settling still makes the FAKE news media look bad, but not as bad as a court judgement against them.

What happened was someone posted the photo, I believe on Twitter, with text explaining that the kid in the red hat had shouted "build the wall" at the native American.
That just wasn't true.
But if it was true, it would have been outrageous. 
and the idea of it got stuck in these editor's minds as they decided to retweet the post.
