Provided how ABC News and its ‘reporters' have actually dealt with the President for many years, there wasn't much compassion amongst Trump fans.
Posters state they have nobody to blame however themselves.
Possibly they might attempt reporting news rather of libeling individuals with a little army of legal representatives on retainer …
Hahaha, j/k, those foolish bastards will never ever find out.

Morons.

You're. ABC ought to have litigated and lost 200 million to Trump. That would have been the far much better alternative.
Or, you understand, they might select not to malign a guy with an army of legal representatives in retainer.

ABC News's spending plan is decreasing due to the fact that it's on life assistance (like all network news).

Network news is dead. They're fortunate they have tasks even today. It's concerning an end. They're going to have far larger things to grumble about in the extremely future when Disney, (like @wbd, is doing to @CNN and @comcast is doing to @MSNBC,) does to @ABC.
