Only in America can you tell the truth and be sued for it. Meanwhile that large orange hitler can lie his butt off about everyone, including entire demographics...and walk scott free.
He is a criminal, but an elite...so I guess in the US it is okay? Man, I hope we survive this.
Trump just needs to sue each S&P 500 company for $1 billion dollars. When they all settle despite the cases being a joke he can become the richest person in the world.
CBS, I am disappointed you will even consider settling. I will cancel my subscription to Paramount if this goes through. Trump will continue to bully businesses, organizations, and everyone else until we start standing up to him. If we don’t start standing up to him, our demise will be on us.
I’m thinking because he would cost them $ no matter how they slice it so it’s easier to just settle. Did you see how his little minions were kissing his ass at the presser today?
Soon the billionaires are going to own everything.
We need laws protecting the people's resources.
I call for a separation of government and billionaires 🇺🇸🗽
ThIs would be even more deleterious to CBS News' reputation than the ABC settlement. It would be the full sacrifice of an institution at the altar of totalitarianism in order to maximize shareholder value and... oh, okay, checks out
“Maximize Shareholder Value “, How’s that? Larry Ellison and his son bribing Chump so they can line their own pockets is “Maximizing Shareholder Value”
Dude. I got a bridge to sell you.
I mean. I see your point (and I agree) about oligarchs and their general attitudes towards minority shareholders, but my comment was directed at the Redstones (who are majority shareholders, thus...) not Ellison
I get it, but the final say on throwing away CBS News' whole brand history is currently in her hands, not his. Ellison is offering $19 a share, PARA is currently trading at $11. (Also guessing Colbert will get tossed within days of that transaction closing, or most likely prior to it)
Major media outlets have been conceeding to him for years. The fact that so few called him out on his B.S. back when there was still a chance to keep him out of office the first time. SMH.
Blatant open bribery for all the world to see and nobody says a word! Where's Congress and the courts? They're bought and paid for as well. America is no longer a functioning democracy.
How do you figure on that one? As a long-time subscriber, I consistently saw editorials + op eds aiming for the opposite. Could several of their headlines been more pointed? Sure. But I stand by the integrity of The NYT.
Ehhh, why not. I mean, coincidentally it was CBS Corp that caved to Big Tobacco in 1995 - never mind tortious interference, there was probable criminal activity that most likely would have rendered the confidentiality agreement null. But profit was at stake so no chances taken…
Here Hitler has accepted the apologies offered by Das Spiegel for reporting that his policies are unfairly penalising Jews and other minorities.
The editors of all papers have promised to be more careful in future, and run all articles by the new GoodSpeak dept.
Unbelievable … this is an abomination and a gift to this cheating liar. 60 Minutes did nothing wrong but he is butt hurt they called him out (respectfully) on his actual unlawful actions. Stop THIS steal!
Another spineless, feckless corporation trying to curry favor with a fascist dictator in order to keep their money. It’s not a settlement, it’s a bribe.
Oh, goody, more money for a never gonna happen library. Or is it more
kissa$$ dollars? How big a library do you need for 3 books, The Art of the Deil, Mein Kampfe, and the Bible? Bea Best
Greed over sense. I'd say I'll cancel my Paramount+ over this, but it turns out I outsmarted myself two weeks ago and cancelled it then. 😊
Let's see if Colbert shows as much integrity as Acosta.
How much money does Redstone need? Is she really willing to eviscerate our journalist who are our only watchdogs against political abuse? I’m sick of America’s selfishness.
You are not settling with Trump…you are settling with the President aka “the government” with all the implied and explicit power he can bring to bear as president on a media company. And he is using it to line his pockets.
Come on CBS and Paramount! DO NOT cave to these bs strongarm tactics! Uphold the Constitution! Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press...what our nation was founded on!
We are living in the upside down. Media organizations speaking the truth about Trump’s criminal conduct should never back down in the face of his mafiosa threats.
This is a bribery scheme. The billionaires at the inauguration worked out how much each would pay Trump to "settle" lawsuits that he filed against their companies. Now they're acting on it.
Another subscription I have cancelled.
Feels good to avoid companies that don't share my values, for all those others, including Amazon, I am surprised at how little I notice their removal from my life.
Back up your values with your actions.
CBS is settling because they know Trump is willing to use the power of the government for his personal benefit.
He is absolutely the wrong person for the job, but his hate works for his hate filled cultists.
If one news resource/outlet disappoints you, find another. Because “mainstream media is evil” is a statement that does not apply across the board—and when you fall into that line of thinking, you’re not demanding integrity from providers. Our hands aren’t tied; credible outlets are out there.
The whole media system has capitulated. That’s by design. If they stop fact-checking and they stop criticizing, Trump can say anything he wants, whatever lies he wants to tell, and Americans won’t know the difference.
Trump leaving no stone unturned, he suing everyone for absolutely everything. Looking for bribes and cash windfalls. Such a greedy self serving twisted individual!

You.
This is not something a free press should be considering.
Dude. I got a bridge to sell you.
Not a single mention of Trump blaming the crash on DEI.
COWARDS
That was an extraordinary effort by a media company.
Is that what they are calling bribes these days?
