...IMHO we should investigate what account in their book keeping department this was charged off to. If it's a crime for Trump to charge a payoff to shut up a hooker then it would be a crime for these folks to charge this off to anything other than their blatant character assassination account.

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:

Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) ~ Holy crap, Trump keeps winning. @abcnews apologizes to Trump and pays him $15 million to settle his defamation case.

Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) ~ ABC News has to pay President Trump $15M and $1M in attorney fees as a settlement to the defamation lawsuit he brought after George Stephanopoulos lied by saying that Trump was "found liable for rape."

@ABC and George Stephanopoulos also must apologize as part of the settlement.

Their apology ... ⬇️

"ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC’s This Week on March 10, 2024."

I’m glad we’re starting to hold the legacy media accountable when they lie with malice.

Not much of an "apology," BUT you know even this admission is tearing up Stephie Stephanopoulos' insides ... 'cuz everybody knows that Trump has Stephie's teeny-tiny lil' malformed testicles in a vice. Heh heh heh heh heh. 

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

ric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) ~ 🚨 #BREAKING: ABC must pay Trump $15 million, settles out of defamation lawsuit and will publicly apologize to Trump - Fox.

Top anchor George Stephanopoulos had claimed Trump was "liable for r*aping" E. Jean Carroll, prompting Trump to bring the lawsuit. That statement was false.

ABC will also pay $1M to Trump for attorney fees.

"ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC’s This Week on March 10, 2024."

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.

Kiss My Grits (@FLDawg80) ~ The statement of regret should be read aloud by George live on GMA vs. just being an Editor’s note in an online article.

Alexandre Lores (@alexandre_lores) ~ Great to see fake news being held accountable!

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