There have been a lot of turning points, but to me this is one of the scariest... [View all]

It's alarming how quickly ABC folded under Trump's phony lawsuit. Plus, that's not all. He's going after a pollster, and suing over the way 60 Minutes edited an interview with Harris. Such lawsuits almost sound laughable, but they can do severe damage even if Trump doesn't expect to win them.

If he's doing this to the large media, what does that mean for independent sources and internet podcasts that have little resources to defend themselves? How long will it be before Trump starts to go after people who do podcasts he doesn't like? All it would take is a threat in many cases.

America needed ABC to stand up to Trump's "law fair" ( the term Magats use to dismiss and ignore legitimate legal action against Trump). I'm sure ABC could have won. If not, they could have at least defended themselves honorably. Instead, Trump and his Magats are taking it as proof that the media is always lying about him.

I fear that freedom of speech is about to suffer since ABC didn't stand up for itself.
