Looks like CNN will be giving TACO money as well, much like CBS just did, and ABC before them.

Trump has found yet another source of income while kicking the dead corpse of american journalism while he's at it. This country is a fucking joke.

These companies deserve it imo for constantly sane-washing his bullshit.

None of them have been on our side either.

If trump wants to burn down billionaires mouthpieces...

There's a lot that deserve it less.

In CBSs case, they are in the middle of a merger that requires federal approval. They basically had no choice but to settle under duress, and I imagine they could file a countersuit once Trump is no longer in control of the federal government

If they just did it for money instead of out of cowardice, that makes it even worse somehow.
