It seems that again, a major company is naming and making concessions to President Trump in order to curb his interest. New York Times Reports BARAMOUNT, the owner of CBS News, is looking to settle a lawsuit filed by Trump over an “60 -minute” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, who allegedly was misleading to make her appear better in the period before the elections.
The reported settlement talks come after ABC News and Meta settled in cases with Trump before going to trial. In the last case, Meta decided on Thursday The president paid $ 25 million In order to drop a case he brought to ban on Facebook after riots on January 6. The CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg has been full in his support for President Trump since his electoral victory after a sharp relationship in his first term. Mita, by chance, is Confronting the anti -monopoly experience In April, in an effort to relax for its acquisition of Instagram, a case presented by the Biden administration.
The lawsuit submitted by President Trump against Paramount depends on a non -tested legal theory that CBS has violated the Texas Law, which prohibits deceptive commercial practices in marketing for consumers. CBS promoted an interview with Harris about “Face the Nation”, as she was presented to provide a different answer from those she provided in a full “60 -minute” interview. CBS said it had broadcast a different part of her answer through the promotional sector due to time restrictions.
News outlets that use their editorial rule by editing an interview is the usual practice, and certainly protected through the first amendment – Harris answers were not distorted, CBS was just separated in a different answer that I provided to the same question. the Times It is noted that the CBS lawyers believe that Trump’s position to file a lawsuit in Texas is “weak at best.”
Another strange aspect of this case is that President Trump’s lawyer, Edward, by Tzek, who speaks to the Times, claims that the liberation of ABC to the part has harmed him in one way or another, and a claim that it seems difficult to stand in court given that Trump won the White House: “It will ensure accountability The truth is about CBS and Paramount compensation for the president for the damage to him, and will deter fake news from distorting the facts more to progress in the agenda of my party.
President Trump filed dozens of lawsuits against the media over the years, most of them He lost in the end. But it is revenge and again that has the authority of the federal government in his hands. During his first administration, the Ministry of Justice Trump I tried to prevent the integration of AT & T and Time Warner Unless CNN is sold, some believe Try to weaken the broadcast channel. Ultimately, the deal was able to move forward.
Paramount tries to complete the process of merging with Movie Studio Skydance, which will produce billions of dollars in the proceeds of the dominant shareholder in Paramount Shari Redstone. The Times reports that it supports access to a settlement with President Trump, who has controlled the head of the New Federal Communications Committee for television broadcasting licenses and said that he will be achieved in an CBS interview.
None of this should be surprising at this stage. The major companies to kiss President Trump lined up in the hope that it will give them a free judgment to do everything they want without handrails, or access to money and public contracts, as the CEO of Openai Sam Altman managed to collect it quickly after President Trump gave the opportunity to take credit in the main deals that from It is possible that you will happen anyway. In the case of Paramount, it will definitely cause many reputable damages to the news ports that are thrown under the bus. But Trump gets victory against “wake up the media” and his supporters will eat. Redstone may not care much about CBS correspondents anyway. Everything is just a job, as they say.
