MSNBC Rips ABC-Trump Defamation Case Settlement, Says Comment for Which ABC Paid Trump $15 Million ‘Seems to Hold Up’

Vance: “The press is in a difficult position. Everyone understands that. That doesn’t change the obligation to be straightforward and objective when it comes to Donald Trump.”
Sanders-TOWNSEND: “I would just say, I mean, this feels like it has a real chilling effect. Like, I mean, shout-out to the standards department, okay? Standards is always making sure that we are keeping the bar high and substantive and accurate. But what George Stephanopoulos said in that interview, I mean, it seems to hold up, what the judge said after the fact. And now his news organization and himself, George Stephanopoulos himself is paying $1 million of his own money to the lawyers, and ABC $15 million. It’s insane.”
