I think CNN turns things around in 2025.
But they definitely deserved this with all the material that came out around this hearing.

Now the trial moves to the punitive damages phase. That $5 Million figure is going to get a lot larger.

Ha! It’s a reference to the story but then again maybe you should call somebody 
Wonder how much he will get after the legal fees and the lawyers cut.
I have heard (obviously not proof) of cases where plaintiffs have been awarded couple of million but left with a few hundred thousand $$$ after the lawyers dip their beak.
Settlement phase.
We remain proud of our journalists and are 100% committed to strong, fearless and fair-minded reporting at CNN, though we will of course take what useful lessons we can from this case.
The lesson of fact checking before putting reports on air.
I actually considered going back to law school after I earned my CPA and CRFAC credentials as a law license would have given me even more earning potential. But law schools tend to limit the amount of time you can work while studying for your degree, so I chose not to take that route. At the time, I was working 60 - 70 hours a week anyway - so I had my hands full.
