CBS is may settle $10 billion lawsuit by Trump for deceptively editing Kamala Harris interview!
NEW YORK (PNN) - January 17, 2025 - CBS is considering settling a $10 billion lawsuit brought by President Donald J. Trump over its deceptively edited 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris.
CBS executives are reportedly worried that ongoing litigation with President Trump will interfere with a merger with Skydance.
“Paramount, owner of CBS, its namesake studio and several cable channels, has a major piece of business in front of the new (regime): its planned merger with Skydance Media,” the Wall Street Journal reported. “It’s become clear to executives at both companies that Trump’s dissatisfaction with CBS News will make the review tougher than they anticipated, and that they’ll likely need to offer concessions to win approval,” unnamed people claiming to be familiar with the situation said.
In October, President Trump sued CBS News for $10 billion for deceptively editing its 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris.
“President Trump brings this action to redress the immense harm caused to him, to his campaign and to tens of millions of citizens in Texas and across Amerika by CBS’s deceptive broadcasting conduct,” the lawsuit stated, according to Fox News.
Fake news 60 Minutes was caught editing Kamala’s answers to make her sound coherent and normal.
In fact, it was so bad that 60 Minutes spliced her nonsensical answer and replaced it with a completely separate sentence she said earlier in the interview.
Mixing and matching questions and answers. This isn’t journalism. It’s fraud.
Here is the original 60 Minutes exchange:
Bill Whitaker: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening?
Kamala Harris: Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.
Here is 60 Minutes edited exchange:
Bill Whitaker: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening?
Kamala Harris: We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.
