Jake Tapper Loses More Ground Due to His Book,

and CBS Is in Disarray As Trump Rejects a Settlement

31 May 2025 ~~ By Brad Slager

As the ongoing court case with President Trump over the Kamala Harris pre-election interview continues, CBS and parent company Paramount Global are becoming more mired in trauma. This week, the announcement was that in their desire to end the process, and facilitate a pending corporate merger, Paramount was offering a $15 million settlement. Trump has rejected that outright.
He has called for the sum to be $25 million, but that may not be the hitch in getting an agreement, given this is holding up the merger valued at roughly $8 billion. It appears that his demand for full retraction and apology on the air has the news division — and specifically the “60 Minutes” staff — fighting significantly against that demand.
As Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson continue their pimping tour for “Original Sin,” the sales have been decent enough, if not quite at the explosive levels many anticipated. It definitely feels as if much of the book’s content has reflected poorly on Tapper in particular, depressing what were surely strong advanced sales. But more is revealed outside of the bookstores.
For the month of May, Tapper has experienced significant audience flight on his CNN scheduled shows. Through the weekend of May 25, Tapper has seen his ratings dip sharply, at a time when he has been a perpetual presence both on his own network and across the news spectrum. Last month, he saw his audience numbers slide, from an already lowly number, by 25%, the amount of the advertising demographic dropped by 15%, as he he drew barely 10% of the cable news audience.
His average of near 425,000 for the month was the lowest he has experienced in a decade.

True, but it's more credible than CBS.
No itis not. It a far right disinformation site.

  • Overall, we rate Townhall Right Biased and Questionable based on consistent one-sided reporting that always favors the right and numerous failed fact checks.

  • Overall, we rate CBS News as Left-Center biased based on story selection that moderately favors the left and is High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact check record.

CBS shouldn't be settling, and tapper shouldn't be writing.

Jake Tapper’s so used to hoodwinking the gullible that he thought he could get away with unmasking a conspiracy with the thought no one would notice that he was one of the conspirators.
While Trump has sued CBS for $25 million and a full, on air apology for what they publicly did which is reasonable.
If you do something wrong against someone publicly, then you should man up pay the piper and apologize publicly.
As it is more than two individuals have left CBS because of their part in the production and airing of the 60 Minute program.
To CBS it's not about the money they will eventually have to pay. It's about the narrative and they're losing that in viewers.

Yet it's readership it far more than DailyKos..., and most of the Leftist rags use. How can that be?

And CBS is a far left disinformation center. It's all in which source you choose to believe is credible in rating. You obviously will choose to believe the far left sources.

You don't know what their readership is and Dailykos is still more credible than townhall.

  • Overall, we rate the Daily Kos strongly Left Biased based on story selection that almost exclusively favors the left. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to non-vetted content and a few failed fact checks and misleading claims.

If you believe that faking an interview with an unqualified left wing candidate is only mildly left, I would like to see your collection of bridges you have purchased.
 
And townhall isn't credible....
Yes…only highly scripted propaganda pieces are credible. We can’t have actual American citizens asking questions they care about. “Journalists” can inform the masses with whatever they feel is important.

Since when has an extremely Leftist ever told the truth except their slanted and warped sense of truth.
Great example is their covering of Joey Biden's Dementia.
Leftists all saw it even when the questions were scripted. They failed for four years to report it.
Why because they were told to do it.
Real unbiased and truthful reporters, websites, broadcasters and news agencies would have imparted the truth to the public.
Websites like DailyKos have NEVER told the TRUTH.

Commentary:
Georgie Boy from ABC was calling Trump corrupt today, without evidence. I guess ABC will be paying some more money.

Why CBS is settling with Oranjeezus is a mystery to me. Since when is editing an actionable offense? Does FOX broadcast 100% of Trump’s ramblings?

Oh, Taco is corrupt.

There will be no suit. The last thing Dictator Don wants is a discovery process.
