This is not a bright comparison.

Alex Jones was a Sandy Hook denier, paid dearly for it and admitted he made it up.

ABC settled to get a peanuts lawsuit off its back in a semantics battle of rape vs. sexual abuse.

The guy who bragged about getting away with such things.

They're both right-wing shitstains.

Nope.  They both lied about somebody.  It’s just a matter of degree. I’m good with both punishments. You, of course are once again led about by your raging TDS and you can’t think straight. OMB got you again.

ABC wasn't punished, Disney grabbed some pocket change off the counter and threw at Trump to go away. That is so much cheaper and less personally costly than having to be deposed and having to lead off the news every night with a story about your news being in court against the president.  Had this gone to court, they win in a slam dunk.  Quote from the judge: 

“The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote. He added, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.”

Not in a million is George Stephanopoulos and ABC news found guilty of defamation---ie, he knowingly lied when the judge who oversaw the case said Trump raped her. I don't know what is leading you, but it's not clear thought or logic.

I'm not saying they would have been found liable, but I don't think it's cut and dry.  There is a report the George was told in advance REPEATEDLY by his producer not to use the R word and he did it anyways.  That points to the standard of "actual malice" which could cause ABC to be held liable.  Given that the media in general, and George in particular, are outraged that ABC settled I don't think it's as simple as ABC just tossing pocket change at Trump.  In general, the media don't like to admit they made a mistake.  They want to be thought of as beyond reproach and that their organization supports good "journalism."

ABC settled within a week of the judge ordering ABC to provide remaining discovery docs, and Snuffleupagus to be deposed.  It is fair to assume that they wanted to avoid one or both of those things.

Quote

Last week, with a trial date on the books for April, the judge said that ABC must hand over any remaining documents to Trump’s legal team right away. She also ordered both Stephanopoulos and Trump to be deposed in the coming days. The settlement means that won’t happen.

The media admits mistakes and makes retractions and updates all the time. They would lose more credibility if they didn't.  People get fired/resign all the time for making big mistakes or lies, so I'm not sure where you are getting that.  

Let's say he was warned (I see the NY POST and the Daily Mirror are reporting it), that might point to actual malice, but that's only one of the three legs of defamation.  It still doesn't prove that he knowingly lied, all he George would have to do is say the judge said it, or that it led to financial injury to Trump---IMO, it's about as cut and dry and beef jerky.  

ABC wanted this to go away and the outrage is because they settled, it is that simple. Iger looked at the bottom line of ALL OF DISNEY's businesses and decided that 15 million was a lot cheaper than getting into a pissing match with Trump and millions and millions of consumers.

Of course that's a big reason why they settled, discovery.  They looked at what happened to Sony when the North Korea leaked all their dirty laundry and were like screw that.  The case was an absolute loser and non-starter legally for Trump, but he cornered ABC and gets a small win.  

If people think this proves he would of won, ---look at the 90 million E.Jean got for the second defamation by Trump or how much Fox paid for defamation to Dominion(800M) and then tell me he won.

FYI, what they're awarded is NEVER what they actually get. A "cash" settlement is always negotiated thereafter.

He's just giving the left a taste of their own medicine. For the record, if he actually takes their license (or CBS's), I disapprove and would be shocked.

Almost every week, 60 Minutes, which is being sued for Billions of Dollars for the fraud they committed in the 2024 Presidential Election with their Interview of Failed Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris, mentions the name “TRUMP” in a derogatory and defamatory way, but this Weekend’s “BROADCAST” tops them all. They did not one, but TWO, major stories on “TRUMP,” one having to do with Ukraine, which I say is a War that would never have happened if the 2020 Election had not been RIGGED, in other words, if I were President and, the other story was having to do with Greenland, casting our Country, as led by me, falsely, inaccurately, and fraudulently. I am so honored to be suing 60 Minutes, CBS Fake News, and Paramount, over their fraudulent, beyond recognition, reporting. They did everything possible to illegally elect Kamala, including completely and corruptly changing major answers to Interview questions, but it just didn’t work for them. They are not a “News Show,” but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as “News,” and must be responsible for what they have done, and are doing. They should lose their license! Hopefully, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as headed by its Highly Respected Chairman, Brendan Carr, will impose the maximum fines and punishment, which is substantial, for their unlawful and illegal behavior. CBS is out of control, at levels never seen before, and they should pay a big price for this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
