Why Is ABC News Apologizing To Trump?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

31% : For many who oppose Trump, including those who often accuse him of lying, this sort of settlement is tough to swallow.
28% : A jury eventually found Trump liable for sexual assault, and defamation -- but not rape.
22% : The situation connects to the lawsuit that writer E. Jean Carroll had originally filed -- in which she claimed Trump once raped her in a Manhattan dressing room.
21% : It's being celebrated by many on the right as a win for Trump -- not just in terms of the direct result of the settlement -- but also because he's been so persistent in blasting "fake news" and rampant bias among the media.
16% : That was important to the lawsuit Trump eventually filed against ABC -- as the network and Stephanopoulos had reported on air that Trump had been found "liable for rape."
14% : Stephanopoulos has been a routine critic of Trump, and the president-elect has been consistent in identifying him as a member of the establishment "fake news" industry.
