ABC News has officially completed its transformation from a once-respected news outlet into just another echo chamber for political cowardice. In its decision to bend the knee to Donald Trump—whether by soft-pedaling interviews, platforming lies without adequate pushback, or treating a twice-impeached former president as just another normal candidate—it has set a chilling precedent. The message is loud and clear: if you wield enough political power and generate enough controversy, ABC will gladly offer you a sanitized spotlight.
This isn’t journalism—it’s capitulation. And it’s dangerous.
The network has traded hard truths for access, accountability for appeasement. Instead of challenging Trump’s endless stream of misinformation and authoritarian rhetoric, ABC chose to normalize it, inviting the rest of the media ecosystem to follow suit. In doing so, they’ve not only betrayed their audience but helped erode the already crumbling foundations of public trust in journalism.
What ABC has done is no different from what Fox News perfected: dressing up political propaganda as news. The only difference is that ABC used to pretend it was above that. Not anymore.
No one should trust ABC News. It’s not a bastion of truth—it’s a hollow brand name wearing the costume of journalism. And like Fox News, it now serves only to distract, distort, and deceive. If you care about facts, accountability, and democracy, look elsewhere.
