“This-—is CNN.”

That always made my skin crawl.
They got it from 60 minutes, it was the schtick for those communists.

It was a good station when Ted Turner started it.
The merger decision should be left to FCC staffers who are not Trump people.
Vindictiveness was a major reason why the Democrats lost in 2024.
Even my leftist friend Don in DC felt CNN overdid the Trump bashing.
In New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, the Supreme Court gave the media a license to lie, when dealing with public figures. The media very is concerned that the Supreme Court, as presently constituted, is willing to revisit that gift, and is willing to settle cases they should win -- given the present state of the law -- to keep the Supreme Court from having opportunity to do so.
If you want to see full-on panic from SeeBS, look up Scott Pelle’s graduation address at Wake Forest today.
Completely unhinged...
Is it really necessary to be a wise guy?
I’ve been a member of the bar for over 30 years. You could get the biggest prostitutes of an expert witness to testify that such is his conclusion, but I have a hard time envisioning a judge even letting that evidence go to a jury. The connection between the CBS interview, potential swing in the vote, and the additional advertising costs is simply too speculative for Trump to carry his burden of proof as to that claimed item of monetary damage. I agree such “might” have been the case, but “might is not sufficient to carry the burden of proof. “Probably” encapsulates the preponderance of the evidence standard
I watch absolutely nothing on CBS any more except the occasional weekend golf tournament. None of the big 3 networks deserve to have ANY viewers of their filthy political lies and propaganda. They have become an enemy of the American people and the American way, and they’ll be the last to ever get it.
Basically they were making advertisers do kickbacks and over charging other advertisers by deceptive practices for years.
They were corrupt.
