At the Mirror Awards ceremony, Bob Costas criticized the media’s approach to President Trump’s second term, highlighting lawsuits against large networks like ABC and Paramount. He harshly judged ABC for settling a defamation lawsuit, arguing they unnecessarily paid $15 million over a misstatement. Costas also took aim at Paramount's attempts to settle a dismissed lawsuit, emphasizing the lack of editorial independence in major news programs. His remarks reflect his broader concerns about the media's integrity and responsibility in reporting on prominent political figures.
All they should've said was, George misspoke. The president, that paragon of virtue, was only found guilty of sexual assault, not rape. So we stand corrected.
Costas condemned Paramount for its attempts to settle another Trump suit that legal experts have widely dismissed as frivolous. Trump rejected Paramount's offer of $15 million.
