ABC News employees are voicing their disapproval of the network’s defamation settlement with President-Elect Donald Trump. The news network settled the $40 million lawsuit with Trump for $15 million. The payout was for George Stephanopoulos repeatedly stating on air Trump was liable for rape when it wasn’t true.
Yashar Ali (@yashar) ~ ABC News talent and staff I’ve been talking to over the past few hours are stunned and furious about this settlement.
Their anger primarily stems from the fact that they have faced repeated budget and compensation cuts in recent years, experienced layoffs, and yet the network — even if insurance paid it — has paid this huge sum of money to settle this matter.
"ABC News talent" - EXCUSE ME???!!! What talent? Heck, they aren't even talented liars - just obvious ones.
So, ABC employees are pissed, eh?
