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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The merger is more important than journalistic integrity.
What do you expect from a company named National Amusements?
More like National Clowns.
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...
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.
Trump lying? Is it a day ending in y?
Trump lying? Inconceivable.
