Paramount to pay Trump $16m to settle 60 Minutes lawsuit
(Full article at above link)

US media company Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million (£13.5m) to settle a legal dispute with US President Donald Trump regarding an interview it broadcast on CBS with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

 Trump filed a lawsuit last October, alleging the network had deceptively edited an interview that aired on its 60 Minutes news program with his presidential election rival Kamala Harris, to "tip the scales in favor of the Democratic party". Paramount said it would pay to settle the suit, but with the money allocated to Trump's future presidential library, not paid to him "directly or indirectly". The company noted the settlement does not include a statement of apology or regret. CBS, which is owned by Paramount, previously said the case was "completely without merit" and had asked a judge to dismiss it.
The settlement marks the latest concession by a US media company to a president who has targeted outlets over what he describes as false or misleading coverage. According to the lawsuit filed in federal court in Texas, CBS aired two versions of the Harris interview in which she appeared to give different answers to the same question about the Israel-Gaza war. Interviewer Bill Whitaker asked the Democratic nominee about the Biden administration's relationship with Israel. The network later aired two different versions of her response, according to the claim. One clip aired on Face the Nation and the other on 60 Minutes. Trump claimed Harris's "word salad" answer had been deceptively edited in one version to shield her from backlash.

You can win in court with a hoax or a lie being your only defense

Notice how 97% of the Pedo=progressive crap get struck down or is punished by the courts
