Paramount is reportedly having conversations with President Donald Trump to settle a $10 billion lawsuit filed by the president against "60 Minutes" and CBS News.
Executives at Paramount predict that if they settle the lawsuit, Trump's administration won't stop the studio's upcoming merger with the media company Skydance, according to The New York Times.
Sources told the Times that Paramount’s controlling shareholder “strongly supports the effort to settle.”
Paramount owns CBS and if the lawsuit is settled, it will be added to a list of corporations that have recently settled with Trump such as Meta and ABC News.
Trump filed a lawsuit against CBS in October of last year, accusing the network of “deceptive doctoring” on a segment of then-Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump alleged the network used “news distortion” to favor the Democratic Party during the 2024 election, according to Yahoo New
The CBS edit of that Harris interview verged on criminal, imo.
$10 billion isn’t nearly enough.
I’d love to hear the settlement. They erred when they tried to strike at the king.
Maybe the $25 million those other jokers paid. First the numbers you hear attached to these high profile cases are completely random, pulled out of thin air by the lawyers. Second but related, if this matter were to go trial, Trump would need to prove damages. He won, so what are the damages?
I would call what CBS did “election interference”.
That settlement should include several groveling apologies. They can start with “I don’t really care, Margaret”.
The media is learning how much lies cost it isn’t the do as you please like it was when they could con the public with their BS lies and biased like for the communists.
It’s NOT about the money.
It’s about the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE.
UNEDITED interviews of any candidate should be made available online.
In an age of information and technology, there is NO reason full UNEDITED interviews cannot be easily accessible.
Networks should have the ability to edit their final product, but everyone should have the ability to ascertain for themselves if the editing was biased.
How CBS will look after Trump is done with them:
They can settle. Then pull their FCC license.
W.I.N.N.I.N.G.!💰💰💰💰
I did hear that the other night.
Don’t settle get the emails texts and editing notes and publish them in discovery
Trump is not willing to settle. Ur hosed
and clearly an illegal political contribution-in-kind.
“I’m going to build the greatest presidential library in history, and the fake news media is going to pay for it.”
Trump should only settle after we get to see emails from Harris campaign.
All in the interest of being transparent to the American people.
When he runs for President, he needs to have that on campaign literature.
They can settle. Then pull their FCC license.
CBS network doesn't have a license from the FCC. The TV stations, both owned/operated and affiliates, have the broadcast licenses.
