CNN's JakTapper “raising the white flag of surrender” denounces Paramount Global and its controlling shareholder Shari Redstone, Donald Trump in a 60-minute interview with critics claiming Kamala Harris Stocks for trying to settle a $10 billion lawsuit filed by the president.
Tupper commented In his daily news program “The Lead” monologue He described the controversy as “any American who value free and independent press should be careful of Trump supporters who don't like the precedents set.”
“For Paramount to settle this lawsuit, it's to raise a white flag of surrender,” Tupper said. “It is the network of Edward R. Murrow, and at the request of its owner, “We will not speak the truth to power. We will acquiesce to take power at the expense of truth.”
Tupper said Trump's lawsuit against the media outlet was a “dangerous escalation” designed to threaten journalists and prevent them from saying important things about the president.
He quoted CBS sources saying, “Everyone is hoping Shari will settle down.”
“She's not worried about her inheritance [or] Democracy or the work we do,” the source told Tupper. “It's just a transaction. Her pocket book.”
“Let's call it what it is…it's a bribe,” a CBS source told Tapper.
In an October interview with CBS News Magazine, Harris gave Israel a rambling answer of 179 words. According to the transcript released on Wednesday by the Federal Communications Commission.
CBS aired a more fulfilling version on Sunday morning show “Face the Nation,” as part of a promotion for the “60-minute” broadcast that aired later that night. However, the interview aired on “60 Minutes” was a more condensed version, urging social media users to argue that something was difficult ongoing.
The FCC says it is investigating CBS for possible election interference after complaints that the Venerated News program cut Harris' Word-Salad's answer to make her more coherent.
Tupper needs to approve a multibillion-dollar merger between CBS Pro-Paramount and Skydance Media Trump said CBS said it had said[taking] Her whole answer [and] Throwing it off, they put in another answer. ”
According to legal experts, “a '60 minute' edit case would almost certainly fail in courtroom,” Tupper continued.
“However, Paramount Global, which owns CBS News, is currently trying to merge with Skydance Media, and to do so, Paramount will require approval from the Trump administration, particularly the FCC.”
Tupper said FCC commissioner Brendan Kerr would “be considered” by Trump's complaints “before the merger is approved.”
“The only way she doesn't solve it is if Skydance sends her to contain the smoke signal,” a CBS source told Tupper.
“Indeed, they realize that settlements will reduce the brand. [and] The '60's value [Minutes]… They adulate and insist they want to own it. ”
Trump is asking CBS to be stripped of its broadcast license.
Tupper cited legal expert Charles Tobin, saying that Trump's lawsuit constituted “a frivolous and dangerous attempt by politicians to control news media.”
“The broadcaster has the right to edit the interview,” Tupper said. “That's an editorial decision.”
CNN Anchor I cited the Semafor report from last June This is Fox News, which shares common ownership with the Post, has removed the segment from an interview with Trump, and he is a convicted pedophile and financial figure Jeffrey Epstein It appears to have returned a promise to declassify federal files related to the company.
“Fox had the right to edit it,” Tupper said. “Did that edit make Trump look more decisive and less vague? So did it make Trump look good? Yes.”
CNN Anchor noted that Fox News “reduced” footage that “significantly reduced” Trump footage at a barbershop in the Bronx.
This post is being asked for comment from Paramount Global, CBS and Trump.
