The free press is crumbling as CBS considers bribing Trump with a lawsuit

Months ago, Donald Trump filed a frivolous lawsuit against CBS alleging that 60 Minutes edited their interview with Kamala Harris.

The Wall Street Journal reported.

Executives at Paramount Global have held internal discussions about settling Donald Trump's lawsuit over an interview with CBS News Vice President Kamala Harris, according to people familiar with the situation, a sign of greater efforts to ease tensions with the incoming president.

Paramount, owner of CBS, its namesake studio and several cable channels, has the bulk of the business ahead of the new administration; its planned merger with Skydance Media It became clear to both executives that Trump's displeasure with CBS News would make the review tougher than they anticipated and that they would likely have to offer concessions to win approval, he said. are people familiar with the situation.

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr warned Paramount executives at a reception after the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington late last year, according to people familiar with the exchange, and he has echoed the message in public appearances.

Essentially, the incoming administration is trying to take down Paramount by promising to make it difficult for them to review the merger unless they grease the wheels and defeat Trump in his frivolous lawsuit against CBS News.

It's sad that the former home of Murrow, Cronkite and Reiter would even consider bending the knee to Trump.

No American broadcast network has the legacy of news that CBS News does, and all of that could be forever tarnished if corporate ownership decides to bow to Trump.

The American people are watching the mainstream media give up their power and exercise censorship, which is what Trump wants. Donald Trump does not have to do anything to end the freedom of the press in the country. Instead of him, the corporate and billionaire owners of the media do the dirty work.

The mainstream press has an agenda to please Trump. If this is the case, then they should be seen as an unreliable source of truth and information.
