ABC Gave Us The Middle Finger AGAIN...Let's Fight Back NOW

Written by Ben Meiselas

I’ll keep this short.

After entering into a pathetic $15 million settlement with Trump last week, ABC and George Stephanopoulos just announced moments ago that they entered into a new multi-year deal together. Seriously?!

The monetary terms of George Stephanopoulos’ contract renewal with ABC are not yet public, but he was previously making about $15 million a year. It seems likely he’s getting paid significantly more now. Also, if I had to bet, his new contract probably includes strong non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses prohibiting him from discussing the settlement with Trump.

-snip-

ABC is owned by Disney, and Disney reports to oligarch shareholders, including the Murdoch Family Trust. The oligarchs are fully on board with Trump’s Project 2025 agenda.

So, I guess NBC can take some satisfaction at that.

I used to like Stephanopoulos years ago, but boy did that ego take hold.
