NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—On Monday a spokesman for ABC News apologized for what he called “an unfortunate incident of freedom of the press.”
“Earlier this year, an employee exercised a right that is enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution,” the spokesman said. “We have spoken to him, and he won’t do it again.”
Doubling down on ABC’s apology, the spokesman said, “Our employee deeply regrets speaking ill of someone who calls other people ‘vermin.’”
ABC executives reportedly flew to Mar-a-Lago to grovel, but had to wait in line behind Joe and Mika.
But don't worry. Trumpie is polishing his jackboots for next month. And his plan to sue anyone who annoys him and thereby bury them in legal fees is becoming clear.
In summation: Fuck you, Mitch McConnell. Now and forever.
ABC settled because Disney, who owns them, could lose far more that $16 million if Fergus decides to go after them. A business decision. And the owners of the owners of the paper in Iowa he's suing are being considered for cabinet positions. The capitulation of the monied is Fergus' biggest strength.
