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 refuse to fight the fascist…

I wish someone would sue Fox for fucks sake…>>

    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.

    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.

      I didn’t hear any jokes. Just a couple “nerds” talking in between canned laughter.

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