    NO! ABC should not layoff so many people. It’s not like they’re doing for money sake. My husband and I watch from morning and night. We should not be bullied, stand up for the rights of the people and democracy

      You libs are pathetic lol.

      1. Julia H

        We’re pathetic? The US economy has been #1 in the world for the last 2 years. We are now in a recession, 7 weeks in to your guy’s term – the guy who has had 6 bankruptcies, couldn’t keep 3 casinos profitable – you know the business model – the house always wins? LOL. If you can’t make money running a casino, let alone 3 casinos, then you see why he loves the quid pro quo so much.

        1. Sounds like you need to be on the Deport list… I imagine you love open borders and Kamala Harris too. Very likely Harris will be the front runner when Gavin Newsom is termed out in California. So, if you’re not already perhaps you should consider relocating in California.

          As for seven weeks, Biden had four years of wokeness and throwing money at Ukraine as well as open borders… I’ll take Trump seven weeks any day of the week. 👎

            If ABC news had actually been providing factual information instead of Trump and Republican hate, they would be thriving.

      2. Talking about yourself!?!

      3. Eli

        Agreed!! George S is the worst!!

      4. Han not solo

        Yes. They need to revamp the whole network. This is what you get when you’re not honest, take snippets of things and throw in your own context. Take news and don’t report facts and make it all opinions. News networks should never have opinions or be biased or just report snippets and cherry pick. It should all be just facts and let the viewer come to their own conclusion and opinion. Get rid of all biased media. Go back to non biased factual reporting and equal time for both sides

        We didn`t vote for the guy who is Musk`s lapdog . It`s going to hit you magas alot worse than those of us who don`t depend on tax dollars from the Blue states .

      6. CJA

        Just wait until they come for Fox.

        They want to blame CBS and NBC as well as President Trump, BUT the truth is NORMALLY IN THE PUDDING, but their ‘pudding’ has been their biased news reporting!!

      Stinking liberal garbage network. Muir and stephanapolas(sp)? are awful. They are not journalists and totally bias and not honest.

      1. Frank

        Is that you donny ? Does you boss Elon know you`re playing with his computer again ?

        1. Need someone like Walter Leland Cronkite Jr. (CBS) that was the news. The real news. No phony opinionated bias news.

    3. Deanna

      No big surprise. It’s what happens when you go woke and alienate half of America.

    You have no idea what you are talking about. This has nothing to do with President Trump’s settlement or policies. The award was to some extent, if not totally, covered by insurance. Btw, you should have put that in context. It was awarded to Trump because the ABC host slandered him.
    ABC is not alone in layoffs. CNN and MSNBC and parent Disney just went through worse, as is much of the media world. The fact is that it is a bad time for traditional media right now. In order to keep going, they need to cut expenses and that usually means staff. It has nothing whatsoever to do with who is in the White House. The layoffs began during the last administration. Apparently you wish it were due to Trump so that you could justify a leftist article like this.

    The networks should never have taken a political side. Even when viewed from the most charitable position, strongly aligning with one political ideology means that fully half the nation has no interest in watching. Want to have some people who editorialize in favor of liberalism? Fine. Have an equal number of others, just as appealing and passionate, who editorialize conservative. And when it comes to heard news, stick to absolute neutrality and avoid spin. The network that can honestly and sincerely do that will have double the market share.

    1. Han not solo

      Yes exactly. Like that rediculously biased show the view. Far far left women in an echo chamber complaining about the right constantly and even slandering people with false garbage. That show should be cut most of all

      1. Marcy

        Totally agree!

    February is Q1 for Disney. CBS already snapped up the fired talent from ABC. CBS will continue to grow in ratings because of it. This has nothing to do with the vlad’s bankrupt felonious boyfriend – Iger is changing up the staff, as he does often – from parks to entertainment to networks after the final quarter of Disney’s Fiscal year – i.e. January. This just happens to coincide with the first few months of a pres term. This is entirely routine for the Disney corp.

    1. Talent? Very questionable, debatable and opinionated as well as being very replaceable…🧐🫣🤔👎

    So some of the morning laughing hyenas are losing their jobs? I’m sure George S. is keeping his. I have switched to Newsmax and NewsNation.

    1. Bully for you!

  6. I prefer to get all my news from YouTube. I haven’t watched ABC, NBC, CNN, Fox, etc. in many years. ✌️☮️🥰🇺🇸

  7. Pat

    No matter how you look at it. There is no balance, and it will never be! People are losing their jobs when they should not! We are going in a rapidly downward pit of things that will take many, many years to undo! I anmm still trying to understand why they are getting paid the way they are!

    The commercials! on ABC in the 1960s were much much better & entertaining to watch than their programming today! & ck out their nightly lineup from any year in the 1960s – no college football, or news programs. & prime time started at 7:30 pm(7pm on sundays) with only 4! minutes of commercials per 1/2 hour!!
    Even worse, ABC REFUSES to EVER release the most important 2 programs they ever made – for kids – in reruns, let alone make new ones – the 4pm weekday ABC AFTER SCHOOL SPECIALS – & ROOM 222. What do they have on these days at 4pm & sat morninngs for kids? News, news, & more news!
    I used to like 20/20 when it was on for just an hour & it
    was like CBS’s 60 min. Now the whole fri nite is monopolized by a substandard 20/20 & game or junk reality shows.
    Back in the ’60s you didnt even need to go to the movie theater! with all the movies on the 3 networks, PLUS ABC’s excellent network made Movie of the Week.
    NBC had Disney’s Wonderful World of Color on sunday nights!

    All these layoffs at ABC.. I see Disney’s fingers 🤌, always laying people off. Are Disney and Trump ‘ best buds’ ?? Sure seem to think alike. Think the states can afford the drain of all the new now jobless needing food stamps and unemployment benefits. It will not affect Disney or Trump.

  10. GE BRAT

    In the words of Jeff immelt when he took overGE. We will have no spectators here.

    Businesses – and ABC IS a business – have rights, too. One of those rights is to do whatever they deem necessary for the good of their business. The public cannot dictate what they’re business does, and sounding off here is useless. If you REALLY want to send a message to ABC, there is a way to do that, and its relatively easy: STOP watching ABC. If enough people stop watching, businesses who advertise on ABC will stop spending their money there, and THAT, ultimately, is the message.

    Are you willing to stop watching ABC?

    Before you make your decision, consider this: You have NO IDEA what is going on behind the scenes. You don’t know the state of their finances. How do you know that they didn’t have to choose between laying off people and going off the air completely because their business is failing? You don’t know what is going on behind the scenes. Think of it this way: Imagine that, while reviewing your family budget, you decide that you need to cut back in some way. This cutback is completely necessary for the wellbeing of your family. Now imagine your neighbor hears about your cutback, knows NOTHING about your situation, then proceeds to talk trash about you because of your cutbacks. THAT is what you’re doing by judging ABC because of this. You are the nosy neighbor.

    How I WISH people more could think about things more logically!!!

    The show seems to be big on selling merchandise and products. I can get that online. Also the show use to be about the current events now it’s an entertainment showcase. I can see that online as well. I get the People’s website free. So I watch other channels. Bring back what you use to be.

    I liked the good old days when you knew the anchors news staff were regular george seem like the only regular anchors and tired of the endless chatter about deals and steals.
