US media company Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million (ÂŁ13.5m) 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..

This is so infuriating.

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.

I was just trying to follow the rules about the headline of the article. I added the kiss the ring part, but the rest is what the BBC had when I posted it.

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

His problem was that he wanted the money shot. He wanted the head to explode. With as many shots as he fired, he could've easily hit that blubbering land mass trump calls a body multiple times.

Every single American institution is full of cowards and sycophants if they're not fully mask-off bloodthirsty authoritarians.

Anyone here want to hear a joke? Turn on CBS.

I didn't hear any jokes. Just a couple "nerds" talking in between canned laughter.
Eldritch@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
CBS and it's reliability on anything to do with news is now a joke. They're blown up any credibility that they may have had left. Turn themselves into a punchline for profits as capitalists are wont.

So when are they going to do a completely unedited interview with Drumph? I hear he has the best words.

I mean, is that merger of theirs even worth it? Skydance's only noteworthy movies are those they already have a deal with Paramount for as it is. This is just so stupid.
Then again, $16m is chump change so I guess gems like... *Checks notes... The Old Guard 2 (?) will be a worthy exchange for any trust in legacy media.
