Paramount Agrees to pay Trump $16 million in CBS 60 Minutes lawsuit

[g5000]

well, there has to be damage for a lawsuit to exist.

Based on what you are saying, he had no case, since there was no damage.

It is obvious hypocrisy, which is why a jury would have ruled in favor of Paramount in less than five minutes.

Maybe Kamala should sue Fox News for $20 billion.

Paramount settled because Il Duce can veto a merger they are in the middle of.

As of July 2, 2025, Paramount Global's proposed $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media is still under review by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

No, not really, you have to show damages to have a case....and based on your hypo there was no damage, so Trump would have no case.

Maybe Harris should, if she had a case.

Paramount settled because, 60 Mins clearly violated the law.

No, they settled because Trump can and would veto their merger.

As he should have, we can't allow businesses that are willing to engage in illegal behavior like that to get more powerful

The hypocrisy is shown by my previous post where 60 minutes edited a DeSantis response to shorten it to make it look like he brushed off the question, while with Harris the editing was done to prune out the daft parts of her response.

Figures you can't see that in your destitute TDS hovel you muck around in.

You hypocrites just don't stop digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole, do you.

I don’t think any fair minded legal analysis thinks there’s a case here.

If Trump ordered the FCC to hold up the merger, they should do as he says.

Right?

That's your assumption on this. Trump brought this up before the election.

If he hasn’t won, there would be no settlement.

Your position is that Trump can tell the bureaucrats what to do. So if he wants the merger held up, he can order that. Right?

You don’t think Paramount can hire fair minded legal experts?

Once again, Marner wants to play the gotcha game that isn't actually being played.

My position is that 60 minutes has been shown to edit to make Republicans look bad while editing to make democrats look good.

The evidence of that is clear, and has been posted in this board. Try to deflect from that somewhere else.

So CBS shouldn't have settled, in your expert legal opinion?

That’s your opinion, and you’re welcome to it.

If you want to stay on topic, because you can’t reconcile your past deportable opinions with the current deplorable administration, you must acknowledge that this lawsuit was 100% bullshit.

Depends on what you mean by “shouldn’t”.

They made the right choice, financially, given they’re dealing with an authoritarian.

I am on topic, and I've shown the evidence of the obvious bias.

Their mistake was claiming they were not biased when this first came out, and then being proven liars by the evidence presented.

Bias has nothing to do with the topic, given that’s not grounds for a lawsuit.

Lying about it, and said bias impacting a Presidential election to the benefit of one side sure is grounds for a lawsuit.
