The corporate media just can’t stop covering themselves in journalistic glory. Recently Leslie Stahl said she fears that the media is hobbled and nearly dead but doesn’t realize why that demise will be completely self-inflicted. Today brings with it yet another example.

Not long ago it was looking like ABC News, George Stephanopoulos and Donald Trump would be heading to court and facing off over the President Elect’s defamation lawsuit. 

Not anymore:

Another big L for the fake news media! They never seem to learn any lessons though.

More from Fox News:

The settlement was publicly filed on Saturday, revealing that the two parties have come to an agreement and avoided a costly trial. According to the settlement, ABC News will pay $15 million as a charitable contribution to a “Presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for Plaintiff, as Presidents of the United States of America have established in the past.” Additionally, the network will pay $1 million in Trump’s attorney fees. 

Stephanopoulos and ABC News will issue statements of “regret” as an editor’s note at the bottom of a March 10, 2024, online article, about comments made earlier this year that prompted Trump to file a defamation lawsuit.

This happened during an interview on ABC with Rep. Nancy Mace when host George Stephanopoulos used the word “rape” up to ten times to allege what Trump had been found liable for (you can watch the video in our previous story), and the President Elect’s lawyers were on top of it after that. 

The apology should have to be read at the top of every ABC News program on a weekday.

Other public figures who have been defamed by the media usually don’t get a favorable result like this one.
