WASHINGTON POST PUBLISHES EDITOR’S NOTE ON COVINGTON CONTROVERSY COVERAGEThe measure, according to the Courier Journal, would provide more recourse against people who spread personal information and make threats on the internet. Sandmann said during the hearing that the incident turned the family’s life upside down and affected his innocent son. Since the Covington controversy, the legal team representing the Sandmann family has sued the Washington Post for $250 million in compensatory and punitive damages for the paper’s coverage of the incident. Last week, the newspaper published an editor’s note admitting that subsequent information either contradicted or failed to confirm accounts relayed in its initial article. The editor’s note was slammed by Sandmann’s legal team, which accused the paper of trying to “whitewash” the encounter.
