ABC lied and told their viewers that trump was a convicted rapist. Trump sued them for libel and won.Neo-Nazi socialists are literally imploding at the negative news and claim they they deserve to lie about Trump, while repeating overused buzzwords and think-tank catchphrases about "democracy dying" https://www.newsweek.com/trump-abc-news-lawsuit-settlement-reaction-2000995ABC Faces Anger After $15M Trump Settlement: 'Democracy Dies'ABC News is facing backlash from both Democrats and Republicans following its $15-million settlement with Donald Trump.In a settlement announced on Saturday, ABC News agreed to pay $15 million toward Donald Trump's presidential library and issue a public apology in order to settle a defamation lawsuit over inaccurate statements made by anchor George Stephanopoulos during a broadcast earlier this year.The settlement describes the funding as a "charitable contribution" from the broadcaster. Additionally, the network will pay $1 million in legal fees to Trump's attorneys.Trump filed the defamation suit after Stephanopoulos claimed during a March 10 segment of ABC News' This Week while interviewing Representative Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, that Trump had been "found liable for rape" in connection to writer E. Jean Carroll's lawsuits. Neither verdict involved a finding of rape as defined under New York law.Following the settlement, which came just days after U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisette Reid ordered the president-elect and Stephanopoulos to submit to four-hour depositions, ABC News is facing backlash from both sides of the aisle.
"People are not going to forget what ABC did," the Republicans Against Trump X, formerly Twitter, account said.Conservative political scientist Norman Jay Ornstein added: "Add ABC to the basket of cowards in our media."Democratic attorney Marc Elias wrote: "Knee bent. Ring kissed. Another legacy news outlet chooses obedience."Reporter Oliver Willis also chimed in, writing on Threads: "This is actually how democracy dies."Tech reporter Matt Novak said: "Not good for the rest of us when you do this s***, ABC.""But that's probably half the point from management's perspective," he added Saturday.Legal experts also criticized the broadcaster for settling the lawsuit before depositions were due to take place.Former prosecutor Joyce Vance said: "I'm old enough to remember—and to have worked on—cases where newspapers vigorously defended themselves against defamation cases instead of folding before the defendant was even deposed.""That, by the way, includes defamation cases brought by candidates for the presidency," she then added.Legal analyst Allison Gill, known online as Mueller, She Wrote, said: "This is so gross.""And it keeps happening. Why not depose him?" she asked. "The case wouldn't cost more than $15M and ABC would have won if they bothered fighting."The analyst then added, "I don't get it."Human rights lawyer Qasim Rashid said: "This is the cowardice of legacy media out to make profit, rather than uphold principle. The ongoing failure of legacy media is a stark reminder that independent and independently funded voices are now more critical than ever before."

>>1368632Calling it in advance; ABC goes on air and points out Trump was actually liable for sexual abuse, not rape. And then go into detail about what the court found him guilty of doing.
>>1368635They're going to write an online article retracting the original story, apologize, pay trump a million dollars in legal fees and 14 million to a charity of Trump's choice.And they're going to run away from the liability monster they created as fast as they can.
