George Stephanopoulos isn’t going anywhere.
Despite heat over ABC’s $16M settlement with Trump, the Good Morning America anchor has signed a new multi-year deal.
The settlement stemmed from Stephanopoulos’s on-air misstatement about Trump’s civil liability in the E. Jean Carroll case.
Journalists at ABC reportedly felt disheartened over the network’s decision to settle and apologize, calling it a preview of challenges to come under Trump’s presidency.
With ‘GMA’ trailing in ratings, ABC clearly wanted to hold on to their veteran anchor.
