Comment on Brendan Carr Lobs More Empty Threats At ABC For Not Airing Trump’s Election Fraud Lies by That One Guy
That One Guy (profile) says: July 24, 2026 at 7:44 am Wonder if there's a phrase, maybe a whole poem about that... When it comes to ABC, that’s still been embarrassingly effective. The company agreed to pay Trump a $16 million bribe in 2024 to settle a baseless lawsuit the company easily could have won.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
That One Guy (profile) says: July 24, 2026 at 7:44 am Wonder if there's a phrase, maybe a whole poem about that... When it comes to ABC, that’s still been embarrassingly effective. The company agreed to pay Trump a $16 million bribe in 2024 to settle a baseless lawsuit the company easily could have won. And more recently, ABC shows like The View have shied away from hosting any political candidates at all for risk of upsetting Trump. Carr and the regime at large keep threatening them because it has a demonstrable history of working. They tried the route of appeasement early on and learned the hard way that grovelling subservience just gets them more threats and beatings, not less.
