Paramount settled a lawsuit from President Trump regarding an edit in a CBS interview with Kamala Harris, compromising CBS's journalistic integrity. Despite strong legal support, Paramount opted for a settlement, which raised significant concerns among media professionals. Critics described the decision as shameful and a betrayal of journalistic values. Legal experts indicated that Trump had little chance of success in court, with CBS labeling his lawsuit as 'meritless.' The settlement also came amid Paramount's ongoing sale discussions with Skydance, suggesting business interests influenced the decision.
It's odd to call this a 'settlement' when the result of it is so unsettling.
This is a very sad moment for '60 Minutes,' CBS News and journalism.
The decision to settle is shameful.
CBS called Trump's suit 'meritless,' and legal experts agreed.
