Paramount reportedly wants to settle Trump's CBS News suit
[BREAKINGTHENEWS.NET] Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS News, is said to be exploring options to resolve a lawsuit filed by former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
in response to the network's interview with Vice President Kamala Harris
What can be, unburdened by what has been
, sources revealed to The Wall Street Journal on Friday.

The move comes as the company seems keen to make concessions in an effort to gain approval from the Trump administration for its proposed merger with Skydance Media, insiders noted.

In November, Trump sued CBS News, seeking $10 billion in damages over its "60 minutes" interview with the vice president. The lawsuit alleges that the network engaged in "partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion."

#2 They all guilty as hell and they know it. These are all PR moves to make it appear they have made concessions, so if there is real pursuit into the matter they scream persecution.

#3 If CBS was to fire everyone who works in the network's news division it would be a good start.

#5 It’s a novel legal theory. That generally only works for the Dems in NY and GA. See if the suit can make it to discovery. That would end 60 Minutes.

#6 #3 Probably could get a reasonable deal simply to rebroadcast NewsMax. Think of all the office space that would free up, let alone reduce the load in HR.
