Summary
CBS staff are outraged by reports that Paramount Global may settle Donald Trump’s lawsuit over a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris.
The lawsuit, widely dismissed as frivolous, has sparked newsroom backlash. “Trump’s lawsuit was a joke, but if we settle, we become the laughingstock,” a CBS correspondent said.
Critics fear Paramount is appeasing Trump to secure regulatory approval for its Skydance Media merger.
Bernie Sanders and others warn that caving to Trump undermines press independence and encourages further media intimidation.
It’s not bribes, it’s protection money. Orange wanker employs simple racket, even though he doesn’t say it. If you don’t comply to his BS claims now, he’d pay his gremlins to make your life miserable via lawsuits, public defamation, whatever, and he just now freed a thousand idiots army with a handful of them that radical that they can charlie-nebdoe your newsroom. We already had a brainlet cooking himself alive in his Tesla praising Trump. This mumbling tan-fucker got a lot of power for a lot of reasons but his own.
Them not agreeing to it just now is a bold, brave move really. And if they stand up to it, that’s even cooler. Every small lack of nod to the Cheetatilo is to be praised, and US needs billiones of these rn.
