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

[martybegan]

How so?

Figure it out.

 

[Marener]

Figure it out.

I did. It’s bullshit.

There’s no harm. Nothing they did is outside of the first amendment protected speech. Trump is not harmed. They didn’t even do anything outside of journalistic standards.

The one who lied about it was Trump.

The lawsuit was total bullshit.

You’re a hypocrite. Claiming to support the first amendment unless it’s people you don’t like.

It was election interference which, as outlets like CBS reminded us in 2021, is insurrection.

CBS executives should be tried for treason and executed if convicted.

The harm is an in kind contribution to Harris that wasn't properly tracked as such.

That’s the dumbest ******* thing you could have said.

That’s a criminal issue. Has nothing to do with a civil lawsuit.

That's the reason the lie caused harm.

And it's still a civil violation usually when it comes to campaign finance.

Paramount to pay Trump $16m over 60 Minutes Kamala Harris interview

The media company noted the settlement does not include a statement of apology or regret.

So, this is a huge one for freedom of speech and for Trump's aims of becoming a dictator by using his presidential powers for his own gains, rather than for the country.

1) Trump sued Paramount for essentially airing an interview with his opponent.

The consequences of such a thing are totally ridiculous. There's so much stuff said about presidential candidates, lies, mistruths, all kinds of things, and it has been upheld as legal, constitutional etc. You're allowed to show interviews of political candidates.

2) So why did Paramount lose? Did they lose and pay Trump's library (Trump has a presidential library, hilarious seeing how Trump probably doesn't do books, or reading, much) $16 million? Nope, they didn't lose. The case didn't go to court for one reason. Paramount want a merger with Skydance media. And Trump, like China is does, has essentially said he can stop the merger going through if he doesn't like what happens.

Trump, using presidential powers, for his own ego, attacking political opponents and doing everything a dictatorship does.

Lol, they edited the interview so she wouldn't look as stupid as she is.

It's weird you think editing an interview to change what someone said is normal journalist standards.

Thankfully we don't live in your Orwellian world

Got them now
Got him Not

That's the reason the lie caused harm.

Campaign finance is prosecuted by the government, not individuals.

It’s also nowhere in the lawsuit, because it’s complete ******* nonsense.

They edited down the response to make it shorter so that the interview would fit into their broadcast.

That’s standard practice.

Content and not time frame is what was deleted

Any edit deletes content.

Trump lied about what was edited.

 

[Foxfyre]

Nope. Everything 60 Minutes did was protected by the first amendment.

It’s clear to rational people that Trump just wants to suppress freedom of the press for those who don’t say what he wants.

This is a total lie.

The first amendment does not protect election manipulation no matter who does it.

 

[Foxfyre]

Were the words too big for you?

Fox News cut seven minutes from Trump's wild, meandering, nonsensical response to a question, and he sues 60 Minutes for editing Harris's response to a question.

And this hypocrisy somehow eludes you?!?

Prove it with credible unedited video in full context or it didn't happen.

 

[Marener]

Define “election manipulation”.

Seems like CBS felt he wasn’t but of course your feelings and wishes are more paramount

They edited down to completely change what she sounded like. The fact she couldn’t put together a coherent thought was an issue, they tried to make her sound better

That’s not standard practice

 

[marvin martian]

Define “election manipulation”.

Broadcasting a fake video to deceive voters into thinking one candidate is better than they are.

It's fine if you do that and call it a campaign ad. But if you call it "news", then it's election interference, and, as CBS themselves told us in 2021, that's insurrection.

No he didn’t, we all saw the videos

Why do you lie about something so obvious?
