Last Tuesday (January 7), it was announced that Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann would settle his lawsuit with the Jeffrey Zucker-led CNN for an undisclosed amount after they tried to ruin his life last year. 

Luckily for CNN, they’ve all but ignored this on-air (save 29 seconds from Brian Stelter on Reliable Sources) and had help with blackouts from ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and NBC.

In contrast, the Fox News Channel spent 12 minutes and 56 seconds on the settlement. The segments began on Thursday and continued through Sunday (likely delayed due to the tsunami of breaking news surrounding Iran).
