CNN being found liable for malicious defamation might have put the fear of God into MSNBC. In a filing obtained by NewsBusters, NBCUniversal and plaintiff Dr. Mahendra Amin had entered into settlement negotiations on Thursday. Although, they’re still working on the language.

“The parties have agreed to and signed a term sheet to settle this lawsuit,” the Joint Notice of Settlement to the Court read. “The parties have agreed that, upon completion of the settlement agreement, the parties will stipulate to the dismissal of this lawsuit with prejudice[.]”

Adding: “The parties are diligently working to finalize the language of the settlement agreement. The parties expect to effectuate the settlement within the next several weeks. The parties attest that they will continue to work diligently and will keep the Court abreast of developments.”

In a reply filing, Judge Lisa Godbey Wood cancelled the upcoming trial:

In light of the parties’ Joint Notice of Settlement, the Court CANCELS the jury trial scheduled for April 22, 2025. The parties are ORDERED to file either a stipulation of dismissal or a status report informing the Court of their settlement progress on or before April 18, 2025. This case remains STAYED.

So far, there was no word on the settlement amount. As has been typical in such settlements, it likely won’t be made public.

As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC was staring down the barrel of a $30 million defamation trial after they allegedly spread lies about a Georgia doctor they labeled “the uterus collector,” accusing him of performing medically unnecessary hysterectomies for ICE.

There was also evidence that the hosts who ran with the report had their own reservations behind the scenes. Chris Hayes said the quiet part out loud in a message stating that, “the reason it went viral” was because it “conjured the worst kind of like Third Reich, . . .  sort of . . . Jim Crow, Mississippi Hospital history.”

This settlement was the latest in a wave of cases and legal actions attempting to hold the liberal media to account for their dangerous reporting.

President Trump still has an ongoing case against CBS News for their “deceitful” 60 Minutes report, with rumors swirling that network president Shari Redstone was pushing for a settlement.
