Erik Wemple, media critic for the Washington Post, harshly criticized ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos for agreeing to pay President-elect Donald Trump over $15 million to settle a defamation lawsuit. Wemple argued that ABC could have won the case and condemned the network for capitulating to Trump's demands.
Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple slammed ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos for agreeing to pay President-elect Donald Trump over $15 million in a legal settlement, arguing they could have beaten his lawsuit. Wemple’s latest column for the outlet blasted the network and anchor for capitulating to Trump after he filed a lawsuit against them in response to Stephanopoulos stating on-air earlier this year that Trump was found 'liable for rape' in a civil case.
That would be the $15 million that ABC News agreed to pay,' the writer wrote. Wemple went on to note how much a victory this settlement is for Trump and his supporters, saying, 'ABC News, a founding member of the mainstream media, will also serve as a founding member of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library, or some such. That’s how big a chest-beating, lectern-pounding, crowd-pleasing victory the president-elect scored on an otherwise sleepy December weekend.
