Bottom line: huge corporations and super rich people owning major news outlets is problematic. They are kowtowing to avoid trouble with the incoming administration.
Just another reason why corporate media is a shame run by conmen and hucksters. They spent the better part of 4 years talking about what threat to democracy Trump is, now that he's won, it's all smiles and cashed checks. Everyone's just poised to line their pockets at this point. Oh well.
I have worked in the animation industry as an artist for 30 years. I am not a fan of Disney and I don't like the way they always micro-manage everything to death. I have grown to despise them and their "properties". All their films are the same. Now I have another reason to boycott them.
I can only guess, but I think they are afraid of losing their broadcasting license - and we know that Trump can't stand criticism and will go after the free press to control what news they bring. We should NOT put up with it and fight him.
Robert, you're smart enough to see a bribe made in public. This was just an easy way to bribe trump and laundered it at the same time. They could've won with the attorneys they have on staff but wanted to give trump a bribe
I’m inclined to believe the strategy here is to get a libel case in front of the Supreme Court in hopes it will water down or throw out the Timed v. Sullivan decision.
Appeasement to fascism did not work in the 1930s, and we believe it will not work against Trump/MAGA. The Biden-Harris Admin must act now to save democracy. They must not hand 'the most lethal fighting force in human history' to fascists.
They were splitting hairs with the language. It was still unwanted sexual contact. Why not an apology? Dont think $15 mil settlement is just. I guess he needs the $$ to pay off his own defamation judgements.
It’s the same big money corporate club that expects tax favor every time a republican, and of course 4T7, gets a term as top dawg … and funnels funds back to the citizens united slush fund, to keep the machine chugging along. That’s a stink that unfortunately won’t go away. Protection money indeed.
Bob Iger is now a destructive leader. He has, like here, failed to serve any of the stakeholders he is responsible for serving. He has failed stockholders, employees, vendors, and the audience.
It's really difficult for me to believe that with all of the people out there who have played this game for so long that one of them can't find a way to shut this mother f***** down permanently
er "While Obama was POTUS #44 and into FF#45, ABC (Owned by Disney/ Sinclair Broadcasting) allowed Neils Boar follow World News Opinion "facts" barrage of straw men, gaslighting, projection, and falsehoods.
ABC, CBS, NBC, are all Corporate shills dispensing propaganda to manufacture consent.
I'm thoroughly confused now.
Who was the client in this case exactly; George Stefenopolis or ABC ?
I ask because it was the client that kissed Don's ring, not the lawyers.
I've heard that George was the client, and now I'm being told it was ABC?
Show the case filing, please.
Isn't it simply matter of costs? What do people think it would cost ABC to fight unwinnable cases against limitless resources? The whole system is cooked. Why bother fighting because no one will ever win against Trump in court again. It would be like burning money.
It’s shakedown as policy. These positions are about bullying people into shutting up and paying up so they are left alone, whether media orgs or chicken processors. The problem is, Trump can just keep coming back for more.
When Adolf Hitler became Chancellor the corporate leaders, political powerhouses, and media titans all fawned over him. They helped him achieve his goals…until Allied forces started killing them. This is the same situation.
1/ Media outlets like ABC have a responsibility to uphold the truth, regardless of the political or legal pressures they face. By caving to Trump, ABC not only compromises its own journalistic standards but also sets a dangerous precedent.
2/ This isn't just about one lawsuit; it's about the broader erosion of media independence in the face of authoritarian tactics. When media giants fear the repercussions of reporting facts, we all lose.
3/ We need a free press to hold power accountable, not one that's intimidated into silence or compliance. The implications here are indeed vast, touching on the very health of our democratic institutions.
Disney was founded by a nazi. Why is it surprising that they’d capitulate to one? Not to mention what a scumbag Bob Iger was during the writers and actors strikes.
ACT NOW!
Demand that Congress upholds its Constitutional duty. trump remains disqualified from the presidency under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Congress must block his certification unless 2/3 of both houses grant him amnesty from his current disability to serve.

But who thought it was a good idea to make Trump look like one of his young, fit, virile trading card figures, instead of real-life Trump?
Such depiction will only encourage his cult, who could care less about the comparison to Hitler, as long as Dear Leader looks hot 🙄
And please spread the word!
