If you settle with Trump and think your troubles are over, you’re too stupid to lead any organization. To settle anything that benefits Trump is just the start of your problems.

Good call. Don’t do it

Everyone who believes this is wrong should contact her.

redhead2255.bsky.social•5 days ago

DO NOT LET THE BULLY WIN let it go to court and see what happens it’s sickening to think they would settle.

83year old Bernie Sanders is fighting harder than every other democrat. We are an embarrassment.

photomanva.bsky.social•5 days ago

Bernie is absolutely right on this one. No more cave ins by people Trump sues

When you capitulate just once to a narcissist psychopath, your troubles are just beginning.

He will never stop blackmailing you. A narcissist not only spends most of his time admiring himself in the mirror. He also gets a high off humiliating, hurting, destroying those who can't say NO.

I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

Yes. The public will incorrectly conclude that CBS was in the wrong, when in fact Redstone is simply trying to mollify Trump so that his FCC won't stand in the way of Redstone's merger. It's money over principle.

Last week, Paramount began mediation with Trump’s representatives about a possible settlement, though it’s unclear whether the parties will come to an agreement on a dollar figure that would be palatable to both sides.

Unreal. CBS didn’t do anything wrong. But, they understand Trump is out-of-control and no one is willing to stop him. So, in the spirit of true corruption, they are going to give him money and hope he goes away. This is blackmail. And blackmailers never stop with one demand. Ask Harvard.

It will be soooooo WRONG if Paramount settles with the Corrupt, NO Good, SUE, SUE, SUE POS!..

This is why Trump
needs all his Crooked Ass lawyers -- To SUE, SUE, SUE!

Trump, the Mother Effer Con Man, always said: "I MAKE MY MONEY OFF OTHER PEOPLE!"... 😡...There ya go!.. He makes it off of us! 😡😡

It seems a little ironic coming from the Washington Post

No one except MAGA should watch CBS or Paramount +, let MAGA pay for bad tv, propaganda news, and the worst streaming in the business. If you sell out the constitution for profit, you're an enemy of the country and should be treated that way.

IF that stupid, stupid lawsuit went to trial, and IF a jury found Paramount liable, it then moves to the damages stage.

THERE WERE NO DAMAGES! Trump might win $1 (ONE DOLLAR).

F•CK TRUMP -- call his bluff, go to trial!

WHY?

silverbirds.bsky.social•5 days ago

Bernie Sanders is a 100% right , a blackmailer and extortionist is never satisfied . trump never, ever is satisfied , if you don't say no he'll just walk all over you. DO NOT COMPLY .

squamishviews.bsky.social•5 days ago

Cowards!

lnygranny.bsky.social•5 days ago

Paramount, follow Harvard’s lead!
Once you cave, he will own you!

American Citizens CONTINUE TO PROTEST. YOUR VOICE MATTERS! To the White House, “HANDS OFF”! Visit Ballotpedia for important upcoming elections in your state. Attend town hall meetings and see if you can volunteer your services at local government offices. VOTE BLUE! https://ballotpedia.org/Elections_calendar

Forget the pleading. Warn her that this is a bribe, and there will ultimately be consequences. This is why we need a new generation of Democratic leadership. Nobody is afraid of the current one.

kcee14.bsky.social•5 days ago

She's already made a mess of Paramount and CBS - gotta squeeze all she can out of it.

Oooh .. *another* stern letter you say???

Truly inspiring.

Media companies owned by billionaires or large corporations are insulated from the shocks of the shrinking market for legacy media, but not from the threats of a litigious president. The wealthy holders of the media companies may decide their other business interests matter more.

barbaracooney.bsky.social•5 days ago

Bernie Sanders is absolutely right. Trump is acting like a blackmailer: The more people and companies capitulate to him, the more emboldened he'll become. Let's hope CNN doesn't bow to the gangster.

trychick.bsky.social•5 days ago

Read the room paramount… you cave…we boycott.

ragle.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's extortion and a shake-down, just like the tariffs taxes Trump wants to apply to Paramount's SIGNIFICANT overseas productions.

sanibelsunsets.bsky.social•5 days ago

The irony of Bezos-owned WAPO reporting about another media source bending the knee to Trump — just like they have.
