  • CNN's Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter slammed ABC over its decision to reach a $15 million settlement with President-elect Donald Trump. The post CNN's Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter Torch ABC Over 'Disturbing' $15 Million Trump Settlement: 'Embarrassing' Way to 'Bend the Knee' first appeared on Mediaite.

The article discusses CNN's Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter's criticism of ABC News for settling a defamation lawsuit with former President Donald Trump for $15 million. Acosta described the settlement as "disturbing" and an "embarrassing way to bend the knee," suggesting that ABC News was essentially giving in to Trump's legal pressures. Stelter echoed these sentiments, highlighting the implications of such a settlement on media freedom and the potential chilling effect on journalism. The lawsuit stemmed from ABC's report that wrongly claimed Trump had directed people at Mar-a-Lago to move boxes of documents to hide them from the FBI, a claim that was later retracted by ABC. The settlement has raised concerns about the financial and reputational costs to media organizations when facing legal action from high-profile figures like Trump.
