Jean Carroll in sexual abuse and defamation lawsuits against Trump, said large media companies “should not succumb to unconstitutional threats or blackmail.” She added, “ABC was the network to run the series Schoolhouse Rock more than fifty years ago. Its leadership should pay attention to the important lessons it taught.”
