Disney settles with the orange menace

This story was a little hard to follow, due to bad reporting, no real fact checking, and some politically motivated story lines. 

But from what I gather, ABC (owned by Disney of course) made a settlement with the orange menace that paid him some money and admitted that they had misreported some information about the man. 

What's confusing is *what* that report was and *how* it was wrong. 

But what I took away from it was that Bob Iger is trying to play nice with T-rump so he won't continue to attack the company for spurious reasons (like he did during his other term in office).  It seems to have been a calculated move to kowtow to him, as seemingly every other company is doing. 

It's all very bizarre. 

But don't sleep on the fact that the person tabbed to run the FCC has already made known that he won't tolerate disparaging dear leader, and has an eye on this settlement as showing how "the media" needs to be further held accountable for actually reporting on anything. 

Freedom of the press and truth can suck it.
