George Stephanopoulos 'miserable' after ABC's $16M settlement with Trump as network insiders claim 'he's a dead man walking'
Daily Mail UK ^ | February 10, 2025 | Melissa Koenig

Longtime ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos is said to be 'miserable' at the network after it paid President Donald Trump a $16 million settlement over his remarks about the president.

Stephanopoulos erroneously claimed on-air that the president-elect was found 'liable for rape' - rather than the correct phrasing of sexual abuse - against writer E. Jean Carroll in March.

Trump sued Stephanopoulos and the network for defamation soon after the segment aired, accusing the anchor of making the statements with 'malice' and a disregard for the truth.

As part of the settlement, Stephanopoulos was forced to issue a public apology.

He has since isolated himself at the network, insiders told the New York Post, with some suggesting he may be out of a job by the summer.

'George seems miserable,' one source said.

'He's definitely gone. He's a dead man walking for sure.'

Others, though, said Stephanopoulos could remain at the network in a lower-profile way, possibly working on film and television projects.

Tragic. Maybe the impeached Bubba *Squirt can put him up at the *Crinton massage parlor in Arkansas.

So, the head of controlling, threatening and defaming any and all who dared tell the truth about Bill Clinton’s sexual assaults, aka Bimbo Eruptions, is feeling depressed.
A bigger asshat cannot be found in the enemedia.

George Stephanopoulos, the man with the 16 million dollar mouth.


Trump: "These are bad People."

President Trump is using them as a harvest of vast proportion.Rumors are that he is into CBS for 60 billion.

The grand kids are going to have very flush trust funds.

Kudos to President Trump and his family.Keep making them pay for misinforming the public and abusing the 1st amendment.

Steffi is a Democrat hack. He never should have gotten the job he holds.

If true. “It’s been a long time coming” for a hard-core democrat partisan.

However, ABC is horrible so he’ll probably just move somewhere behind the scenes.

Age 64 - his birthday was yesterday.

Quite possibly past his expiration date for elite Hard Left newscaster jobs.

He will not be missed.

He has worked hard to earn this status. I pray it would instead cause him to reflect and see that God is real and his soul can be saved. This is such a time for him as to become humble and finally have the chance to see Jesus before time runs out.

So many never get such a blessing, which i am sure he doe snot see it as, still it is indeed a blessing. Many end their time never having the chance to reflect as such.
