Mediator in Trump's Lawsuit Against CBS For Deceptively Editing Kamala's Word-Salad Answers Suggests $20 Million Settlement

A mediator has proposed that Paramount Global (PARA.O), opens new tab and U.S. President Donald Trump settle his lawsuit against CBS News over an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris for $20 million, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

The proposal would include a $17 million donation to Trump's presidential foundation or museum, as well as millions more in legal fees and public service announcements on Paramount-owned networks to fight antisemitism, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.

Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS in October, alleging the network deceptively edited a "60 Minutes" interview with then-vice president and presidential candidate Harris to "tip the scales in favor of the Democratic Party" in the election.

In an amended complaint filed in February, Trump bumped his claim for damages to $20 billion.

The sticking point isn't the money, the Wall Street Journal reports. Trump wants an apology from the network and an admission of fault, but Paramount (CBS' corporate parent) refuses.

Instead they're offering to run... public services messages about antisemitism? What?
What has that got to do with any of this?

Ed Morrissey comments:

They don't want to admit error, the WSJ later notes, because they don't want to expose their news operations to further legal liability for cooked reporting and corrupt election meddling. They want the lawsuit out of the way for their merger with Skydance, likely because of the potential liability of a $20 billion claim on the balance sheet as the value of Paramount gets calculated. Other media outlets also claim that Paramount and Redstone are worried that the FTC would intervene in the merger in retaliation, but that has never made a lot of sense. (The WSJ lays out that case near the end of that report, for those who want to read it.) There isn't really much of a reason for an FTC intervention in this merger, as it's not even among the more impactful consolidations in the entertainment industry of late. A federal court would make short shrift of such a move, especially these days, and maybe especially in the DC circuit.

CBS "News" and 60 Minutes are shrieking about the possibility of any admission, even an implicit one, that they ever did anything wrong or biased, ever.

Even as lawyers for Paramount Global and President Trump are in discussions about a potential settlement in his lawsuit over the editing of a "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris, Paramount and CBS filed a response reaffirming their position that the interview is protected by the First Amendment -- and that Trump's legal team has failed to provide any evidence to the contrary.

"This is a meritless lawsuit that, as Plaintiffs' opposition admits, takes 'aim[] at a news organization' ... for editorial decisions Plaintiffs dislike," Paramount and CBS said in a filing Monday in reply to Trump's motion to deny CBS's request to dismiss the lawsuit.

...

"President Trump and Representative Jackson attempt to evade bedrock First Amendment principles establishing that public officials like themselves cannot hold news organizations like CBS liable for the exercise of editorial judgment," CBS said in its June 23 reply.

As you know, 60 Minutes ultraliberal partisan Scott Pelley whined like a bitch over the alleged Death of Democracy should Paramount settle with Trump.


Joe Rogan asked Bernie Sanders about this. Sanders kept asserting that politicians shouldn't sue leftwing legacy media companies, ever, no matter how much they defame or spread disinformation. Rogan proposed, correctly, that if they never pay a price, they'll continue doing it forever, and Sanders just continued his Angry Old Man ranting.

By the way, Sanders didn't know the answers to barely any of Rogan's questions. And he claims that he's very "well prepared" to answer Rogan's questions.


Can we get a Cognitive Health Check on Bernie Sanders?

38 Lost in any discussion on that 60 Minutes lawsuit is that the DNC threw up a candidate that for all intents and purposes was functionally retarded (which is generous in that most public statements by Harris reflect someone dysfunctionally retarded).

The DNC gets a pass. Democrats, in general, get a pass. Harris gets a pass (and is considering the role of Cal. Gov.) where she will receive another pass.

I've said it before. Presidential candidates (hell, management candidates of any fashion) should not be less qualified than the vast (and I mean vast) majority of the population. These people are supposed to be of a higher quality.

Walz, Harris, Biden, Cuomo, Mamdani, Newsom, Buttigieg etc. There is nothing competent or special about these people.

49 The future Commie Jew-Hater mayor of New York announces that corporations won't be able to avoid New York taxes by moving out of New York:

Zohran Mamdani plans on making new laws saying IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE COMPANIES ARE HEADQUARTERED, if you do business in New York THEY MUST PAY HIS NEW INCREASED CORPORATE TAX RATE

Businesses CAN’T RELOCATE to lower taxed states to save money

“What I've proposed is that we raise $10 billion to pay for our entire economic agenda and start to Trump proof our city, because we know he'll use federal funding as leverage over this city. And we will do so in two key ways. The first is to match the state's top corporate tax rate to that of New Jersey. We are at 7.25%. They're at 11.5%. Corporations can pay it over there, they can pay it over here.

And the beauty of it is that it doesn't just apply to corporations headquartered in New York City, because when you say this, people will say, well, they're going to go to Florida. Wherever you are headquartered, as long as you do business in the state of New York, you are taxable for that corporate tax."

I listened to the whole Bernie / Rogan podcast. I've watched Bernie on Rogan in the past, back when Rogan was a Bernie Bro. Even back then, Rogan asked somewhat pointed questions.

Bernie, as usual, comes off as a likeable guy who is very out of his element and has no idea on the specifics of anything. Rogan didn't even push him that hard on some pretty fucking big questions that you'd think Bernie would have thought about before, but Bernie had nothing.

Rogan recognized that, felt bad, then backed off. Then at one point, during the questioning, Bernie just goes "yeah, you know -- I have a plane to catch." and the interview winds up a few minutes after that. Granted, Bernie is in his 80's, so maybe he was just tired. But it sounded like Bernie was just way over his head.

Bernie has always been a complete moron. His entire schtick is to point out generally agreed upon negative outcomes, then to claim they're all the fault of capitalism or wealthy people. Then he makes a bunch of promises about how democratic socialism will usher in flocks of unicorns and rainbows.

He's ALWAYS short on particulars. He also storms out on most interviewers that ask follow up questions or express any skepticism about his claims. I heard Joe Rogan's people insisted Bernie mustn't storm out and Bernie's people made many reassurances he wouldn't. It looks like Bernie's people managed to persuade Bernie it would be bad for his career if he stormed out on Rogan.

Cripes. Is everything a lie with this guy? Didn't he recently say he wouldn't ever fly with the proletariat rabble scum?

So what he really meant was "I have a plane to board".

78 62 How long was the Bernie interview on Joe Rogan? If they were going for 2 hours or so, those clips of him saying he doesn't know isn't much. But 30 mins... Looks like he couldn't answer the bulk of Rogan's questions...
Posted by: bearski at June 26, 2025 03:48 PM (Bhsk7)

Just shy of 2 hours. Which is short for a Rogan interview.

But Bernie demurred on pretty much any big question Rogan asked, and mostly tried to talk about pretty non-objectionable things, mostly in platitudes ("I just want everyone to be able to live a solid life with a good job").

Rogan kept asking "yeah, but how do we do that? How do we get there?" and Bernie never really had an answer. Lots of "that's a very complex question ... but we could start by taxing billionaires!"

85 Not only should CBS admit to selectively editing Kamala's interview, they should be directed to tell everyone why and which other interviews or content CBS and/its affiliates have been similarly edited. And, every broadcast that purports to be "news" should have a disclaimer preceding it informing the viewer that CBS has edited content in the past for partisan reasons and may have edited the content being shown.

It started off cordial enough. Bernie just doesn't like follow up questions. He's not really a "details" guy. And Joe (very non confrontationally) made the mistake of asking follow up questions, which Bernie seemed to take as a hostile move, which led to him saying something about having a plane to catch and winding up the interview.

Bernie did not come off looking like he had any real answers on literally any topic. And he and Joe talked about a lot of topics. At one point (paraphrasing), Bernie said to Joe "What would you do about [whatever issue]?" and I guess Joe gave him a look or something and then Bernie said "well, yeah, I guess I am the Senator." and laughed then moved on to another topic.

163 Joe Rogan is a naturally curious person, it's one of his strengths. He actually seeks to understand the POV of his guests, and asks good questions to do that, not just spout a pre-dictated talking point from the woke hive mind.

It's why he's a better interviewer than all the mainstream media talking bobbleheads combined. And it's why he was willing to change his mind on Trump, when he's very socially liberal.

This is how interviews should be done. And to a large extent, used to be done. And are still kind of done for print or books.

Sit down and talk to the person for several hours in a back and forth conversation where the goal isn't to get to a "gotcha" moment or create a good soundbite, but to learn what the person actually thinks.

And if the person is full of shit, that will become readily apparent in a long interview. It's not the interviewers job to constantly play FACT CHECKER and scream at the person, let the audience sort that out.

You have to have systems in place that track your NYC sales and expenses, as if that was all the business you ever did. Then you have to do the same for all your non-NYC operations. Use that ratio on all the overhead and NYC taxes the portion of your enterprise's taxable income derived from NYC operations. It was a nightmare back in the 14-column green ledger paper days.

Rogan is genuinely curious about stuff his guests discuss. Maybe not all of it, but sometimes he'll spend 10 minutes on something a guest says that he's unfamiliar with, or is, and they go on and on about it.

Tucker used to be able to do that until he went bonkers.

That's probably the best thing about Rogan as an interviewer.

They spent the next 30 min or so talking about how Hetfield was learning beekeeping. Damned interesting.

I think with how she's built her base, she can only lose going on Rogan (lose her people; won't gain anybody else). Maybe if she really deludes herself that she can be president, she goes for it. But Gavin Newsome's got nuthin on the pivoting she's gonna have to make for that...

Yeah, I thought he used to have more Dems, just didn't have time to go back further.

But I don't think he's vengeful, and will try to get along with everyone. But if you're a Dem politico and just a vapid sack of empty (which most / all are), he'll expose that.

It is simple, he has his city hall issue a tax due notice based on their estimation of the taxes owed.

Supposedly Sliwa ginned up some events and faked how bad they were to get extra press and donations for Guardian Angels. If true, and it comes out in the general, he's toast.

Mamdani's strength is he's a "clean" blank slate with no major corruption scandals...yet. People won't care he's a needy nepo baby who faked accents and loves the intifada. He doesn't have any corruption charges yet because he's so new. Give him one term as mayor and he will be as bad or worse than the rest of them, even Cuomo. It's how socialists do. But he doesn't have a rap sheet yet.

Cuomo, Adams, and possibly Sliwa all have the stink of corruption on them. That's not going to go well this time around.

My take was that he did know. I think the bulk of the Dems know. But the safety is in the numbers. One or two attacks, could be a coupla loonies after you. If you say 40 people are out to get you, you're the loon. (And few people will sit through the particulars of how validly wrong those 40 are; their eyes glaze over and decide you're the kook.) So he filibusters on the specifics and hides in the volume and makes you look like the kook for diving into the details. Thought Rogan did a good job being calm but direct on this...

I don't think there's any world in which Sliwa becomes NYC mayor.

Adams is almost certainly the best bet here. If he can get the Cuomo machine behind him, that means he has the black machine, italian machine, irish machine, wall street machine, and at least a fair amount of the jewish machine behind him. That should also bring him the public sector unions as well.

Which is what it will take to take on the Chinese, Arabs, Puerto Ricans and other Hispanic machines that are backing Mamdani.

If it's even possible. The demographics of NYC have shifted massively in the last 10-20 years, and the old tenuous ethnic based tammany hall machines are crumbling.

301 Some large number of political operatives think that a key element in Trump's 2024 victory was that show appearance and Kamala's lack of appearance.

I can't take too much of Rogan...so, I haven't watched a lot of his stuff in the last 6 months or so.

But, prior to that, he still considered himself a Bernie Supporter. I have never once heard him denounce Bernie or his previous perception of Bernie.

But, I am open to being corrected by a Rogan Superfan.

310 I'm pretty sure most people listen to Joe Rogan for the same reason they listened to Larry King: The guests.

I give Rogan credit for venturing beyond softball questions, but things get really silly after he starts with the weed.

Andy Ngo was describing a concussion he received covering a protest and Rogan had to cut in:

"Wait!!! How did you know you had a concussion?!!!"

"Um, the doctor said so."

313 About two hours ago, Nike sponsored an event in Paris where Kenyan distance runner Faith Kipyegon, who is currently the greatest female distance runner on the planet, would attempt to become the first female athlete ever to break four minutes for a mile. Nike resurfaced an entire track for her according to her bodyweight/stride. Made her running shoes that aren't legal for competition, an aerodynamic bodysuit and a 3-D printed sports bra . They used a team of male pacers to run around her and deflect the wind the entire time, and had a whole freakin' lightshow of pace lights running around the track during this to keep her at four minute pace. Official finish time...4:06.91. In 1954, Sir Roger Bannister...a male...running on a dirt track and wearing leather shoes and a pair of baggy gym shorts and a t-shirt, became the first human ever to break the 4:00 barrier...71 years ago. Well over 2000 males have achieved this since then. Please...for the love of all that is good...PLEASE faaack all the way off with your "Men have no biological advantage over women in sports" bullshit. They do.

334 Don't get me wrong -- Guardian Angles was a grift, but it was a good grift.

The way it worked is he told "bad asses" that they could beat up thugs if they were (a) wearing a red beret, and (b) waited until the thugs did something wrong. Or looked like they might do something wrong.

Then he got them monies to buy beret and stuff. It was corrupt, but it was a corrupt alternative to total thuggery and chaos that NYC had become ("How am I doing?")

So you had bad guys in beret out looking for bad things to happen (unlike the police who assiduously avoided problem areas and especially subways.)

And most important, it was interesting. I think Tom Wolf even wrote a book about it.

What I don't understand, is they dispense all this valuable advice to Hollywood on Youtube, FOR FREE, and Hollywood doesn't seem to listen. Then when their predictions are right, Hollywood ignores it. Modern day pop culture Cassandras.

Supposedly some savvy movie creatives have used Gary secretly as a consultant, but of course he could never ever reveal those names, or those people would be blackballed forever. Just for taking advice.

Hollywood is so dumb.

So news reporting (and that includes EVERYONE who so much as publishes their diary as it's editorial content based on life/events) can slice and dice what anyone says and reconstruct it to say anything? Is that the defense you're going with? Because if you want a Brave New World, that sure is a great way to get one. And you, MFM, will not control the narrative.

As the amended Ten Commandments now states, "Number 11: Thou cannot hate the MFM enough". That's right, the Bible used profanity to describe the sinners and misanthropes of media.
