Paramount may settle Trump’s lawsuit, which CBS calls "completely without merit," to avoid regulatory retaliation.
Make them retaliate.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

The merger is more important than journalistic integrity.
What do you expect from a company named National Amusements?
More like National Clowns.
Reality is dead, only what Trump says matters.
As someone else astutely said, reality doesn't usually need a police state to enforce it.
Trump is going to enforce his "reality" with a police state.
Kamala Harris's 60 minutes interview had 5.7 million live viewers, and as of today, 3.8 million views on YouTube. Making approximately 9.5 million views total.
Spotify doesn't release their numbers, but just on YouTube, Donald Trump's appearance on Joe Rogan's 3-hour podcast got over 26 million views in the first 24 hours (and today is sitting at 55 million views).
Even if CBS was somehow unfair, it doesn't matter. Trump got a massive viewership advantage going on Rogan, but because he's a fossil, doesn't see it that way, because he still thinks broadcast TV is mainstream media. It's not. Joe Rogan is mainstream media at this point.
Also, he went on Rogan the day Harris was supposed to appear on his show. He didn't just get a massive boost with that appearance. He blocked a pre arranged appearance by his opponent. Rogan got to play kingmaker.
It's the same with him suing the iowa pollster. In the end, her prediction didn't matter, in fact, it probably helped him win iowa by energizing his base. But he's such a narcissist/facsist that he can't handle anyone opposing him.
Donald Trump only lies when his lips are moving.
Don’t go so easy on him. He lies when his fingers move, too.
It's uncannily true, going back and watching interviews...
Trump lying? Is it a day ending in y?
Trump lying? Inconceivable.
CBS clearly made Kamala looked much better through editing.
Had Trump did the 60 minutes would CBS made Trump look better through editing or made him look worse. We all know the answer to that.
To be honest , I don't know how anyone can say Trump flat out lie on this one.
I'll bet that sounded better before translation from Russian.
Lmao.
Not sure why you think I am from Russia. Trump won the election fair and square. There are so many Americans who dislike Kamala and don't think she is qualified to be the POTUS.
I suppose the Left's favorite argument at this point is (1) voters are stupid, and (2) Russian disinformation.

This part. No one in good faith makes such absurd claims. Anyone who doesn't recognize that Donald Trump has been treated with more kid gloves than ANYONE in modern history is full of shit. If you actually watched American media, you would know that.
I disagree with you completely on this. In fact, the mainstream media has been so biased against Trump for the last 8 years, they have completely lost objectivity. As a result, they lost the trust of most Americans. Look at their recent ratings. They are a dying business.
You are literally living in a different reality than the rest of us, there's not much else to say. I know you think this is just a giant echo chamber and everyone else are the crazy ones, but Jesus...
It is the other way. You are living in the liberal bubble.

Trump just won the election fair and square. It was a EC landslide. He also delivered Trifecta. The majority is with me at this point. LOL
Sure Jan. Have a nice day.
People who think Trump is qualified are stupid. Zero dispute.
Zero dispute? Are you kidding me? It has been disputed by the American majority.
By stupid people.
The favorite argument at this point from the left is that voters are stupid. That itself is a stupid argument.
Half the country is functionally illiterate.
The Left are just sore losers.
Which side was the side that did an attempted coup a few years ago when they lost? And then when that got shut down wailed like a 3am newborn for 4 whole years about it?
It was meant to be a peaceful protest. When there were violence, Trump told the protesters to leave peacefully. Trump challenged the election result through court. Most of the court cases ruled on "no standing" technicality not the merit. Anyway, since the court challenges weren't successful, the result was a peaceful transfer of power. There was nothing wrong from what Trump did.
Lol.
There is no left in America. I’m not sure who you sheep are always referring to.
Why would they need to make her look better through editing? Have you watched any of her rallies? Oh wait you haven't cuz you're a bot
In my opinion, she is a terrible public speaker. I believe most Americans agree with me.
My ~~brother~~ bot in Christ, have you listened to trump talk?
Yes. Trump is clearly a much better public speaker than Kamala.
For someone who calls themselves "liberty forever", you sure gargle a lot of fascist dick. Trump is clearly not a better public speaker than Kamala. I'm pretty sure I was a better public speaker than Trump when I was 5 years old.
Incoherent rambling that makes absolutely no sense to anyone with a 3rd grade+ reading level
Group of lunatic Nazis cheer at nonsense
"Oh he's such a good speaker!"
Maybe Musk is sharing his ketamine.
Who am I kidding, Musk doesnt share...
“First they say, ‘Sir, how do you do it? How do you wake up in the morning and put on your pants?’” Trump mused. “And I say, ‘Well, I don’t think about it too much.’ I don’t want to think about it because if I think about it too much maybe I won’t want to do it, but I love it because we’re going to do something for this country that’s never been done before.”
And he proceeded to put the pants on his head, with his supporters shortly following suit.
