US media company Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million (£13.5m) to settle a legal dispute with US President Donald Trump regarding an interview it broadcast on CBS with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

As usual corporations looking for special treatment, hoping to have their merger accepted, refuse to fight the fascist...

I wish someone would sue Fox for fucks sake..

We don't allow editorialized headlines. If you fix it, we can restore it.

My words exactly when I read this...

Paramount doesn't give one solitary fuck about how this affects perception of media, how the Reich gets to do a victory lap and entrench the idea that no media but their media should be trusted, all Paramount cares about is money.

They even still hold that they did nothing wrong, but they refuse to fight because Mango Mussolini has the power to stop their merger...

And as usual every fucking coward Democrat who has ever been mistreated or misrepresented by Fox news refuses to sue them because we need to "go high when they go low." Nice plan Icarus.

These companies deserve everything they get for being complete cowards.

I seriously hope they still get their merger denied and the settlement is referred to as a reason why lol

Leslie Moonves can appreciate a Donald Trump candidacy.

Not that the CBS executive chairman and CEO might vote for the Republican presidential frontrunner, but he likes the ad money Trump and his competitors are bringing to the network.

“It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS,” he said of the presidential race.

Moonves called the campaign for president a “circus” full of “bomb throwing,” and he hopes it continues.

“Most of the ads are not about issues. They’re sort of like the debates,” he said.

“Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” he said.
