President Donald Trump crowed over the settlement in his lawsuit against “60 Minutes,” CBS, and Paramount on Tuesday — which stemmed from a selectively edited interview of former Vice President Kamala Harris — calling it a “BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN!”
Trump first shared the news in a post on his Truth Social platform, where he also took aim at ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos over their recent payout in a similar lawsuit.
“BREAKING NEWS! We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our Historic Lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount,” Trump posted. “Just like ABC and George Slopadopoulos, CBS and its Corporate Owners knew that they defrauded the American People, and were desperate to settle.”
“Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes have today paid $16 Million Dollars in settlement, and we also anticipate receiving $20 Million Dollars more from the new Owners, in Advertising, PSAs, or similar Programming, for a total of over $36 Million Dollars,” he added. “This is another in a long line of VICTORIES over the Fake News Media, who we are holding to account for their widespread fraud and deceit.”
Trump went on to list a number of other media outlets that were on his radar — against some of whom he has already threatened to take action. “The Wall Street Journal, The Failing New York Times, The Washington Post, MSDNC, CNN, and all other Mainstream Media Liars, are ON NOTICE that the days of them being allowed to deceive the American People are OVER.

Hit ‘em where it hurts. WSJ is next.
Ha haaaaaas! Suck it, Colbert!
>> WSJ is next.
Hope so. Any more, they’re as progressive as WaPo or NYT. Bankrupt them all.
Crows?
They like to use loaded terms.
Anyhow, why not crow.
Think about it. It’s very serious.
Major news networks deliberately collaborating in fabrications with one party’s campaign to influence a presidential election.
“Hope so. Any more, they’re as progressive as WaPo or NYT. Bankrupt them all.”
They both take Chinese money.
He’s crowing. What a weird expression no one uses
He won. On our behalf. We need news not fake news. Late night tv-bedtime story hour for adults, not hate and midnight vaccine push
Crews. Pshaw.
Yeah. He won.
More for PDJT’s Presidential Library. CBS, ABC.
The WSJ’s contribution will be humongous.
Maybe CBS can send Colbert over to wash Trump’s car and do the windows at Mar a largo to reduce the amount by a few dollars. I’d love to see that scumbag doing some real work.
There were 3 other talk shows that were cancelled by cbs yet no outcry from the democrats about it as they were canceled because they were costing too much just like the Colbert show.
“Late Late Show” in 2023. James Corden host. 8 seasons.
CBS Canceled ‘After Midnight’ which replaced Late Late Show, host Taylor Tomlinson. Last show in June after just 3 seasons.
CBS canceled the daytime talk show “The Talk” December 20, 2024. The reasons cited for its cancellation included years of declining ratings. Lasted 15 seasons.
4 shows cancelled by CBS due to high cost and low ratings.
It's a start.
