Gee, I don't know. Let's take a look here. Trump was found liable for sexual assault in a court of law. Stephanopoulos said he was found liable for rape. In a trial, I'd think ABC would have at
least as good a shot at winning as Elon Musk did when he groundlessly accused the Thai cave diver of being a pedophile. And the cave diver wasn't even a prominent public figure. In the US, public figures like Trump almost never prevail in these suits, as any actual attorney will tell you.
Meanwhile, Fox News was found to have acted with malice in airing allegations with “reckless disregard” for the truth, allegations that it knew to be false. Dominion presented volumes of internal emails and text messages in which Fox execs and talking heads acknowledged that the accusations against the company and its machines were untrue, even while the lies were actively being broadcast.
Yup, I guess you're right, those totally sound comparable to me. They both represent abject sycophancy of our supposedly-free press, all in the service of a thug with a brainwashed personality cult behind him. BSAB, amirite.
