Remember when trump became quite agitated at 60 Minutes?

[j-mac]

Another whining dud from Berg…He seems to be arguing that because FNC shaped their stories about Trump, that his preferred networks should be able to outright lie with immunity…

Republicans are the party of snowflakes led by the biggest snowflake of them all OP. That's all this is.

Actually the clueless democrat's 19% approval rating is all this is.

Trump's approval is more than 2x the dem's rating.

Nope, somehow you missed the point. Either intentionally or because you are obtuse. That being, trump's extortion of CBS succeeded. He got some money for his library (should they call it that since he doesn't read?) and got a critic fired. It was all done right out in the open but your trumpian blinders prevented you from seeing the obvious. Not for the first time.

 

[Man With A Plan]

You really believe 60 Minutes had a prayer of winning that lawsuit? It's obvious what they did. They edited the Harris interview so that she wouldn't look as stupid as she obviously is and they got caught doing it. They got off cheap with the settlement.

What we should be talking about here is the total lack of journalistic integrity that led 60 Minutes to do what they did. You can hate Trump. You can want Harris to beat him. But if you have even a dollop of journalistic integrity you can't do what 60 Minutes did!

I'm not a lawyer so I based my opinion on that of legal experts who said trump's suit was frivolous and he was destined to lose it. But CBS had bigger fish to fry, that being the merger. trump played his hand well. If you admire the kind of extortion autocrats use to get their way.

 

[Lesh]

Yes I do. Most legal experts who have issued an opinion say CBS would have won the suit. The thing is, CBS has merger business pending before the regime so $15M was a reasonable price to pay to get it approved. One might call that extortion by Dotard.

One might be correct

Editing is completely common.

Fox did so in a far more egregious manner.

This is about Trump threatening to hold up that merger.

Pure extortion

Oh bullshit! You don't take someone's answer to a totally different question...remove her actual answer...then cut and paste the other answer in to make it look intelligent. What 60 Minutes did is beyond the pale and they know it. They would have lost that court case and they knew it.

But then, that’s not what happened

 

[Man With A Plan]

The simple truth is that liberals are getting sued by people that they've told blatant lies about and they're settling out of court for huge amounts of money because they know they'll lose if it goes to court.

 

[Man With A Plan]

That's exactly what happened. You can cut portions of an interview out...you can't take portions of an interview and move them around to make it seem the person being interviewed said something different. That's what 60 Minutes did and that's what they got caught doing.

It was an insignificant edit.

From AI...........Legal experts widely criticized Paramount Global's decision to settle President Trump's lawsuit against "60 Minutes" for $16 million, arguing that the suit was baseless and the settlement a capitulation that undermines press freedom. Many believe CBS had a strong legal position and could have successfully defended itself in court. The settlement, they argue, sets a dangerous precedent, emboldening powerful individuals to target the media with frivolous lawsuits.

 

[Mack The Finger]

Naturally, the allegation lead to trump devotees similarly becoming quite agitated. Feeding off the whole "MSM is biased against trump" frenzy.

You're a hack !

Why don't LIBs ever look at the shoe being on the other foot before they post crazy stuff ?

Oh yeah...that right facts don't matter to LIBs; only the agenda does.

It's about as blatantly deceptive as I've ever seen, Berg. I can't believe that 60 Minutes stooped to it. If they really thought Harris was that bad in the interview (which they obviously did!) then they shouldn't have aired it at all.

IRONY ALERT!

Then your judgement is compromised. Most likely by misinformation.

This settlement has drawn criticism from various groups, including CBS staffers, media watchdogs, and Democratic lawmakers, who view it as a concession to Trump's attempts to pressure media outlets and undermine journalistic independence. Some critics even suggested the settlement could be seen as a bribe, especially given Paramount's pending merger with Skydance Media, which requires federal regulatory approval. While FCC Chair Brendan Carr has denied any connection between the lawsuit and the merger approval process, Trump himself has suggested a connection between the lawsuit and the hold-up in the merger process.
