CBS is considering settling a $10 billion lawsuit brought by Trump over its deceptively edited ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.
CBS executives are reportedly worried ongoing litigation with President Trump will interfere with a merger with Skydance.
“Paramount, owner of CBS, its namesake studio and several cable channels, has a major piece of business in front of the new administration: its planned merger with Skydance Media,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “It’s become clear to executives at both companies that Trump’s dissatisfaction with CBS News will make the review tougher than they anticipated, and that they’ll likely need to offer concessions to win approval, people familiar with the situation said.”
In October President Trump sued CBS News for $10 billion for deceptively editing its ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.

A $10 Billion Dollar lawsuit? Damn!
He’s gonna want all the New Yawk Yankees souvenirs including World Series rings too!
I’m not interested in the money so much as I want a public admission that they intentionally edited and reedited Harris’s video in order to promote her election campaign. Since that is unlikely to happen, I would take a public colonoscopy of a discovery process. I want every email and the full set of various versions of her interview from raw footage, to the commercial to the changed final broadcast.
Make that settlement equal to the total sum cost of all of the Lawfare defences.
Plus a Billion.
‘60 Liberal Minutes’
IF they are considering settling they are afraid that they will lose.
If I were Trump, my settlement would be: “I own the company” Stock worth 51% of CBS
I love this! First ABC had to pay $16 Million to settle a defemation suite, then just today CNN was found liable for defamation re: the Navy Vet, and now this. Life is good.
NOT tired if it! 👍🕺
I’d still want to see some of their people frog marched into prison for this blatant and illegal campaign contribution.
It looks like to me that CBS is “sucking air.” A term from the sixties when one wants to breath but there is no air.
“You are sucking air and dead.”
Thank God good people have different ways to express their views so they’re not distorted by 60 minutes, the view etc. Nuts to the MSM.
Do you suppose Trump will hold out for the entire $10 billion?
Yes, but I’m not tired of winning! I love it!
Maybe they are afraid of what will come out during discovery
Election meddling. lock ‘em up.
But somewhere along the way the show abandoned all pretense of it being about "the story" and it became about "the narrative". It became driven by agenda as much as any other division of CBS.
Thats when 60 Minutes lost me, and I had been a loyal viewer.
Dear CBS - Settle for 10 Billion. Remember that you don’t have a right to broadcast. It can be - CANCELLED! Understand now?
They took a real good look at his official inauguration photo, didn’t they...
