BREAKING: Trump Sues CBS News for Gigantic Sum Over '60 Minutes' Fiasco
Red State ^ | October 31,2024 | Bob Hoge

It was the journalism fail heard around the world. CBS News’ long-running show “60 Minutes” interviewed Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris in early October—but presented two different versions of her answering a question about Israel. Clearly, one of those answers had to be deceptively edited.

Now Donald Trump is taking action—and suing the network for a staggering $10 billion dollars in damages, “stating the network practiced ‘deceptive conduct’ for the purpose of election interference in its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris."

The lawsuit, filed Thursday, states that the network engaged in election and voter interference:

Trump wants to force the parent company to sell CBS to him to satisfy the judgment against the network.

Regardless of how this lawsuit turns out, CBS has lost significant credibility, to the point where it’s unclear whether they can ever get it back or be trusted by the public again. They’ve also delivered another blow to the American people’s trust in the media as a whole. Most Americans think the media is lying to them most of the time, and this bizarre episode just confirms their fears.


article conclusion

Trump is so mean /s

They already did that over 50 years ago when Cronkite lied about Tet and people still watch them.

I hope Trump wins this and the Presidency.

I disagree. Democrat voters don’t believe the media is lying to them. It tells them what they want to hear which is comforting lies that don’t challenge their ignorance on almost every issue or their emotionally derived fantasy worlds in which they live.

People are stupid. They will believe any lie if they want it to be true or if they are afraid it is true.

Where is the lawsuit filed? NY? If so, his chance of winning anything is pretty remote. On the other hand discovery might be entertaining.
