Of all the terrible sign posts in the last week, this is the worst.

Trump has sued news outlets over their coverage of his campaign - frivolous suits everyone could see had zero merit.
Now the media owners are using "settlements" to funnel cash straight to Trump in the hope they will get favourable treatment from federal regulators.

They should know that any favorable treatment they get as a result of these settlements is just a sign of weakness that Trump will use against them next time he feels slighted.

The lying gaslighting post-sanity post-reality fascist corporate media cannot be considered as a valid source of information.

Trump is using lawsuits as Venmo requests for enormous bribes.

this is just one more shakedown, as with the Meta/$25M "settlement". Trump is a gangster, whose goal is to be the Don of a worldwide crime syndicate. Most unfortunately, his instrument for doing so is the United States government.

It's noteworthy that tort reform is surprisingly missing from the Project 25 agenda.

Does no one have a spine? These law suits are just money grabs for the orange one. Fight back, FFS.

The billionaire owners could give a shit about our democracy failing. But the reporters and anchors are going to end up in Gitmo. It’d be fantastic if they at least started acting like that’d be an inconvenience.

I agree. And he has the gall to do it in broad daylight.

Don't these guys pay attention? They should know that he screws everyone and then drops them like a hot rock when they're no longer useful to him. Idiots.

It is called "appeasement," and it never works.
