‘ CBS 60 Minutes’ publicly releases transcripts of interview to the FCC

CBS News president Wendy McMahon is out.

She's been under fire for several things, including the reboot of the Evening News


 
The other part of this story is Kamala Harris. She is as much a target of this as CBS and 60 Minutes. The Trump campaign continually said that she was avoiding interviews or press conferences. They said she was bad at interviews, so she didn't do them. This gives them access to the raw interview so they can revive that attack on her.


The fact is she instead did lots of informal press conferences at campaign stops, often with the local media, as well as regular "gaggles" with the traveling press. She also spoke with Fox News towards the end of the campaign.



Now it's back to former VP Harris in the 2024 elections and yes celebrity endorsements that also sparked the reason why Trump keeps going after TV Networks and Radio operations. Also this will spark music labels to respond too over this now that he named Bruce Springsteen in the rants. Plus we mentioned this before about certain celebrities who supported Trump in the 2024 elections.

 
The spaghetti therory, see if anything sticks.

I find it harlious that Trump wants to go after the folks that owe on their college loans. Unfortunately IIRC you can't go bankrupt and have them reduced or go Chapter 7 and removed.

I believe 6 of Trump's companies have defaulted on Billions of dollars of loans:

1991 Taj Mahal
1992 Trump Castle Hotel and Casino
1992 Trump Plaza & Casino
1992 Trump Plaza Hotel
2004 Trump Plaza Casino Casino Resorts
2009 Trump Entertainment Resorts
 
Now the Senate has issued a response on how Paramount is handling this incident.

May 20 (Reuters) - A group of senators sent a letter to Paramount Global (PARA.O), opens new tab chair Shari Redstone on Monday, seeking information about the CBS News owner's efforts to settle a lawsuit with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Senators Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Ron Wyden are questioning whether Paramount's potential attempts to resolve the high profile lawsuit could violate federal anti-bribery laws, according to the letter seen by Reuters.
CBS News faces a $20 billion lawsuit from Trump over its editing of a "60 Minutes" interview in October 2024 with then-Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
This lawsuit is seen as a major roadblock to the Paramount and Skydance Media merger, according to some analysts.
Paramount has also entered mediation in April to try and settle the lawsuit. The $8.4 billion merger requires approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.
The federal agency has authority over the transaction because it needs to approve the transfer of the broadcast television licenses held by CBS. The deal was extended for 90 days, as the companies await regulatory approval.
 
Wonder if they would be able to outright block the merger from happening? Surprised all this didn't happen with Time Warner/AT&T.
As a long time shareholder of AT&T I wished they had blocked it. Entertainment and telecom don't always mix (ask Comcast). Direct TV was a distraction. Had that money been spent on fiber for business and homes they could have gave Comcast serious competition as an ISP. If you do the math 5G can never replace broadband unless you literally have multiple "mini" cell sites in each existing cell site.
 
Apparently the president is playing hardball with Paramount:


This lawsuit is holding up the sale, and therefore costing Sheri Redstone money. The proper thing to do now is to sue the president for causing the holdup. The company made a good faith effort to settle. Now it's time to play offense.

Trump wants all media to be "State Media" meaning he wants a proper formal state run propaganda network, right now, Fox News, Newsmax, OANN and other conservate media outlets are de facto state run network producing Trump approved Propaganda.
