Is his library going to be a giant bathroom full of boxes?

That’s exactly how I felt watching Meet the Press yesterday. Lindsay Graham spewing all kinds of crap…completely no fact checking by Welker!!! Ahhh!!!

And it makes me want to throw-up too. The timidity, cowardly easy thing for them to do. Why go to the WH PCs at all then? Don't enable a #dictator.

ABC got an F for fealty. It's the best grade you can get in Donald Trump's world. youtu.be/t-4wEB8a5I8?...

This is truly unacceptable. No deposition and yet they are willing to pay this hijacked form of journalistic thuggery.

😡😡😡

Sad. I haven’t been watching ABC and now have an additional reason not to watch ABC.

ABC deserves to go down. The big corporations have lost Main Streets Trust in any info they report. Let them become just another movie channel because that’s all they’re good for.

𝗗𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗢𝗕𝗘𝗬 𝗜𝗡 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘. 🤦‍♂️

They will louse in the end

He would take it anyway 2024 Election needs investigation 8yrs Election crimes w/ Russia

All of this is a great example of how little people understand how fascism takes over Fascism wins with joyous celebrations in the streets while institutions only let out a dying whisper, not with a big fight

So don’t tell the world that the Emperor is wearing no clothes?

We are in seriously deep trouble. Find your peace & do what you can.

No problem. I don't watch ABC news or any other for that matter. It's all 💩

And they say that we are not allowed to use the word fascism… well…. wait a while ….

Sickening

ABC is now a pledged major Donor to the Trump library. How does that not compromise the integrity of everything they report on from here on down the road?

Hydra is in play...

Fascist appeasing traitors.

another network off my list. soon won't be anything left on tv other than soap operas again...not that what's going on today isn't just as immoral and disgusting as they were.

They call it the Orban effect…democracy… now you see it…. Soon you don’t!

It’s feels as if Disney just wanted to push a legal bribe across the table.

If they don’t resist they will become even more meaningless than they already are. What is their purpose then? If people want unfiltered propaganda they can just watch Fox.

Politicians have abandoned you. Media has abandoned you. What do you have left but yourselves?

The only show that I watch on ABC is "The Conners". I have no problem dumping them, like I did WaPo.

Heard about that on NPR this morning on the way to the grocery. Realized I was still loudly cursing about it as I walked across the parking lot...

The US are on a path to dictatorship. Lies to scare people/Lies about ways to fix problems/Surrounded by self serving billionaires/Media control/ threats of imprisonment of political opponents etc…anybody else want to add to this?

Legacy media doesn't exist to inform or entertain citizens. It exists to sell douche-powder and dish-soap to consumers.

Trump burns through lawyers like Tic Tacs. They'll eventually wind up disbarred and sanctioned for frivolous and unsubstantiated filings. Don't fold!

From now on it’s Trump State Media (propaganda)

Damn with the media. We need to stop acting like they were ever our friends. They are done. Find good reporters but corporations aren’t here to help us.

It is a sad day in America. We just keep searching for the bottom, and it appears we are not there yet.

Just do your job and watch how you say stuff. Then I’m expecting too much.

ABC is owned by DISNEY. Was this a play for FAMILY VALUES?

we are in for a rough ride.

This only becomes a "best move" if they have any credibility or audience or advertisers left.

Dan Rather was fired for being critical of George W. Bush

Underneath this is also the structural question of profits and news divisions bottom lines in a streaming economy. That being that they are significantly dropping, not just ratings but a lack of cable carriage deals. So corps feel empowered to squeeze especially expensive talking heads

HE who controls the media.......?

A lready B egan C apitulating

So did ABC just leave Jimble Kimble hanging out to dry or will they insist that he leave the giant orange turd out of his opening monologues? What morons are advising them legally?

Hey Tom, great name btw, I was actually referring to Iger putting money first in its decision to settle with Trump.

Imagining all the shootouts that will occur as the deportations begin, and how the MSM won’t dare report on them because it might make Trump look bad. Everything’s going just GREAT in this shell of a democracy.💔

a dictator for a day ? he said but he is a liar so years of HELL my friends Trump will pay don't worry

Perfect callback.

#Trumpty would have to prove in a court of law that the statement effected him financially as well as proof that it destroyed his 'reputation.' He would have been unable to prove either. He just won the fucking most powerful position in the world. #ABC was looking for a way to give him a donation

Pussies all

BS.

We're on the event horizon of state media.

Stephanoupolos should resign. But these careerists have no principles but money and getting attention..

ABC only exists to generate profit. Being nice to Trump will help ABC generate profit. ABC will be nice to Trump. So many minds are incapable of understanding this, because the implications are too scary to consider. So instead people act surprised and shocked, to bypass anguish.

Screw the news networks...they are nothing but kiss butts

Feel free to boycott ABC.

So not surprised. Obeying in advance is just more fascist trait. There go the freedoms of the masses. You’re complicit if you voted MAGA or not at all.

If you watch ABC, NBC, CBS, or CNN you’re a moron.

I’m wondering what happened to FREE SPEECH & FREEDOM OF THE PRESS. Like my dad said, the 🍊 🤡 puts his pants on one leg at a time & sits on the toilet (or 💩 his diaper) like everybody else. Band together & start pushing back. Cowards have no stamina - everyone is giving this one way too much power.

Fuck ABC!

This was an investment in access. Their mistake was choosing access over honesty.

MSM has f#%ked up so badly they’ve not yet realized we the people pay their salaries and we can take it away 🤬

These next four year are going to be very, very long.

COWARDS TRUMP TREATED LAWYERS LIKE DIRT SO WHAT DO THOSE COWARDS EXPECT? LOVE?TRUMP LOVES ONLY HIMSELF UNCOUTH LIAR CRIMINAL ALL THOSE COWARDS ARE PREPARED TO BE TREATED LIKE SERVANTS OF THE PRESIDENT NOT GOD!+ A CRIMINAL TRUMP SHOULD WORK FOR USA IS NOT A PERSONEL BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY HE FORGOT?

All Media Must Bow to the Dictator

I couldn’t be more disappointed in this situation. This and more to come.

What ABC should have said: "We apologize for saying that the jury found Trump liable for rape. In truth, it only found him liable for sexual abuse, not for rape as defined by NY law. We regret the error."

And local outlets can’t even finance the lawyer for the first suit he filed, let alone the endless appeals.

That orange taint does not come off. Memory can be long with the honorable

So wrong! 😡

Maybe don’t report on Trump at all, be really safe.

It makes me FURIOUS! ABC would have WON that suit. The JUDGE said he graped her! The stupid law in NY says that "rape" can only be by a peen. ALL OTHER assaults are classified as "SEXUAL ASSAULT" - but it's the SAME THING! NY needs to change the law!

So many people already do .

All those bending their knee will be remembered as weak, powerless cowards.

say goodbye America

ABC is as yellow as any network can get. You will never make your way back from this, we will not forget! Trump won’t be here forever!

O tempora, o mores...

ABC settling is both an immoral & cowardly act of corporate accounting.... Donald Trump may have not used his penis to rape E. Jean Carroll , But he certainly did rape her!

Pansies. They're also now saying we can't trust them in what they say because they now bow to Trump.

Trump well on his way to literally having a completely state run media all in the palms of his perp hands.

And that is exactly how the POS gains power over the media. I am outraged

Pathetic

Because Trump has an incredible record of winning lawsuits?

I've turned the TV off. It stays off.

And the other networks should do the same because...?

Trump has counted on 'just comply with him' his entire life.

Cowardly bootlickers🖕

The los of democtracy is as simple as ABC

This really sucks!! #ShameABC So, media companies, Don’t Be Cowards!!

Yet another example of how corporate news is not at all compatible with democracy.

Absolutely and he will use that to his advantage. Rights and benefits will be taken away from us and the media won’t even dare to reports negatively on it.

It's pretty stunning what ABC did. The suit by Trump was weak. ABC decided since he's going to be POTUS - pay him off - and its the cost of doing business. That may be true - but good luck Faust. I don't think the angels will intervene on this one.

Bullies feed on fear.

What shows could we best boycott on ABC ?

George deleted his twitter maga account- George should consider coming to Blue Sky

Cowards

Just in. Stephanopolus deleted his Twitter, recently known as X, account. m.youtube.com/watch?v=bSKu...

Shame on this cowardice.

Sad sad sad

Good thing they were never an ally to begin with. They can be erased along with Trump and friends.

I wonder how many of ABC's lawyers will resign this week because they were hired to be sharks and were defanged over a suit they could win with one hand tied behind their backs.

Its a sad state of affairs that the conference room boys at ABC, NBC and CBS just dont care about their "credibility " apparently. Its an ugly sign that reich wing media such as FOX, OAN, RSBN, Newsmax, Sinclair etc. now control American messaging imo.

Hitler lives

I haven’t watched ABC since the late Frank Reynolds died and this just adds to why they are more and more irrelevant.

Corporate media has become a tool to end democracy.

✔️

They don’t call it 🐭 Mouseschwitz for nothing 😡

I see others cower and capitulate to the fascist demagogue, but I am committed to doing everything I can to keep Putin's saboteur out of the White House and to save our Democracy. If we do not stop Trump he will stop us. Join me. Read share, and support the plan. www.dailykos.com/stories/2024...

That's not 🚫 journalism is it?!

I’ve stopped watching them all . Is sickening .

Repeat a million times - Trump WAS held liable for rape.

If Stephanopoulos wanted to make a statement on behalf of his work and journalism. He’d resign in protest! Silence is complicity!

Nothing new the billionaires who own MSM are always complying to Trump.

ABC is shit.

lol. billion dollar companies are afraid of lawsuits knowing its in their favor... make this make sense. #cowards

Trumps butt licker😜😝😜😝 ABC

The most unAmerican president ever and a cowardly press, WHAT COILD GO WRONG?

What the hell!?! MSM never pushed him on any issue. They were so soft on him! They helped him get elected twice! So business as usual.

I guess when the entertainment division took over the News they forgot the real role of news in a Free Society.

Vote with your remote, if you disagree.

Autocorrect got me. That said Buncha until I hit enter. I really would like an edit button.

When your government is run like a corporation and you only have one message to advertise, you only need one Network to advertise it. Your government is controlled by the Corporations.
