Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / Media PANICS Over ABC News TRUMP Settlement
Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: So Stephanie Rule warns that the ABC defamation settlement has
- 0:08Speaker 1: shown the media that now they need to be accurate
- 0:12Speaker 1: when reporting news about Trump. From Eric Abonante, let's get
- 0:17Speaker 1: a look into the mind of the modern teleprompter reader.
- 0:21Speaker 2: To a company like Disney, fifteen million dollars is not
- 0:23Speaker 2: a lot of money. They're insured for it. There's a
- 0:26Speaker 2: very very good it's a company that's worth two hundred billions.
- 0:29Speaker 3: And there's a very good chance they could say, in
- 0:31Speaker 3: this complete rage fueled environment, we don't want to have
- 0:35Speaker 3: to face day in and day out of even random
- 0:38Speaker 3: emails being disposed, even if they say nothing much to it.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Just embarrassing emails, day to day emails that any of
- 0:43Speaker 2: us could have. Emails at Disney going back.
- 0:46Speaker 1: And just discovery, you're just like to day to day
- 0:51Speaker 1: ones that could be embarrassing. Definitely, not stuff that shows
- 0:54Speaker 1: that they're obviously biased in creating a narrative. Definitely, not
- 0:59Speaker 1: of that today.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Emails that any of us could have, if you mean
- 1:02Speaker 3: emails at Disney going back and forth discussing.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Donald Trump, probably our operation for the interview yet or not?
- 1:08Speaker 2: Who knows what they or not or not?
- 1:11Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, emails discussing Donald Trump in preparation for
- 1:15Speaker 1: the interview or not or not? She says, oh or not.
- 1:19Speaker 1: God Jesus, could it be any more transparent? These people
- 1:22Speaker 1: call them so journalists too shocking lack of curiosity. It's
- 1:27Speaker 1: so interesting. It could be emails discussing, you know, Donald
- 1:30Speaker 1: Trump interview or not or not? Oh no, definitely not. No,
- 1:34Speaker 1: just day to day staff, that's all. No, we don't know.
- 1:37Speaker 1: We don't do any planning, We don't do any narrative
- 1:40Speaker 1: control at all. I mean, it's just hilarious, right, it's hilarious. Yeah,
- 1:45Speaker 1: there's definitely nothing in those internal communications that might be
- 1:50Speaker 1: that would be revealed by discovery in the case that
- 1:53Speaker 1: would show that ABC News had a narrative and we're
- 1:57Speaker 1: dishonest and we're lying to the public. Definitely nothing. I
- 2:01Speaker 1: find it hilarious there she's so like or not or not.
- 2:07Speaker 1: It's like she's panic egg.
- 2:09Speaker 3: It's easy to say the company could say we need
- 2:11Speaker 3: to move forward, we need to get into twenty twenty
- 2:14Speaker 3: five and move on. However, for the media environment, for
- 2:19Speaker 3: the rest of the world, when they see a settlement
- 2:21Speaker 3: like this, there is a chilling effect, right because what
- 2:23Speaker 3: happens immediately after. Well, you see Donald Trump say I'm
- 2:27Speaker 3: going to sue the Des Moines Register.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Well, there's a chilling effect because you know they had
- 2:31Speaker 1: to pay, and then you know people might say, oh,
- 2:35Speaker 1: they lied. Oh they're being held responsible for lying, knowingly lying,
- 2:42Speaker 1: knowingly lying over and over again. Huh. That's got a
- 2:45Speaker 1: chilling effect. It's a chilling effect because they might realize that, hey,
- 2:48Speaker 1: we have to tell the truth. Huh, there might be
- 2:51Speaker 1: consequences for blatantly lying. Interesting, so interesting.
- 2:56Speaker 3: I'm going to sue the polster who put out a
- 3:00Speaker 3: just before the election that said women in Iowa are
- 3:03Speaker 3: going to vote for Kamala Harris. Listen, she and the
- 3:05Speaker 3: De Boine Register were already proven wrong, and they already
- 3:09Speaker 3: submitted all of their data, and they're saying, listen, we
- 3:12Speaker 3: will fight Donald Trump. We will protect our First Amendment right,
- 3:15Speaker 3: but who knows how deep their pockets are, And we
- 3:18Speaker 3: can all say, listen, a judge is going to throw
- 3:20Speaker 3: this out. By the time you get to a judge,
- 3:23Speaker 3: tens of thousands of dollars.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Are spent in legal fees.
- 3:27Speaker 3: So if you're a local news organization, right and you're
- 3:31Speaker 3: saying I want to accurately cover this administration, like all
- 3:35Speaker 3: of us are going to it's a scary time. So
- 3:37Speaker 3: for all of us, this is a warning you better
- 3:39Speaker 3: have your teas crossed, you better have your eyes dotted,
- 3:41Speaker 3: which I actually think is a positive because we need
- 3:44Speaker 3: to do that.
- 3:45Speaker 2: But yeah, there's definitely a chilling effect to a company.
- 3:48Speaker 1: So now they're worried about law fair. They didn't seem
- 3:51Speaker 1: that worried when they're going after Steve Bann and Base Rogers,
- 3:54Speaker 1: don't every single person apparently who's ever had a cup
- 3:57Speaker 1: of coffee with Trump didn't seem very concerned with it.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Then suddenly now they're concerned with lawfair, the effects of lawfair,
- 4:04Speaker 1: about the you know, the processes of the punishment. Now
- 4:07Speaker 1: they're worried about that. Now she's worried about that. It
- 4:10Speaker 1: sounds to me like she just wants to keep lying
- 4:13Speaker 1: with no consequences. That's what it sounds like. It's not fair.
- 4:18Speaker 1: It's not fair. But we don't like Trump, as he says, Yeah,
- 4:22Speaker 1: but you should make sure you know for sure what
- 4:24Speaker 1: you're saying on National TV is actually true. I mean
- 4:26Speaker 1: you've seen it on the view, right, would they you
- 4:29Speaker 1: know they're forced to you know, actually clarify their statements
- 4:34Speaker 1: about Trump. You know, it goes to a commercial break,
- 4:36Speaker 1: they come back, and it's like, I just have to
- 4:38Speaker 1: say that everything I said about Trump there was bullshit
- 4:40Speaker 1: for legal reasons. Just unbelievable. This is a beautiful or
- 4:45Speaker 1: hilarious look into the psychology of the modern teleprompter reader,
- 4:50Speaker 1: the modern you know, narrative repeater. Anyway, that's all I'm
- 4:55Speaker 1: going to say about that. Please like, share, and subscribe.
