One thing you can say for Trump is that he’s made no effort to hide who or what he is, so now he’s doing what Republicans voted for and Democrats feared: turning the U.S. into an abusive, authoritarian kleptocracy. It’s not as if we couldn’t see it coming. Consider it one more promise kept, along with retribution against his opponents, concentration camps for asylum-seekers and making life more miserable for the poor.
Kathy, if you followed the story CBS clearly violated journalistic ethics. And, preceding an election. Could be sued for election interference. They clearly tried to pull the wool over the eyes of the electorate. Thank goodness, harris was such a flawed candidate, she didn't win.
About time dems decided to -'clean things up'. Play by the rules and all will be fine.
Now CBS and it's minions of attorneys were concerned enough about the 60 minutes 'editing' that they settled. If the analysts you cited were correct CBS would have tried the case and embarrassed Trump with a resounding defense verdict. Their attorney fees would likely have been less than $15m. Trump files winning cases, he negotiated a win. CBS was clearly concerned having nothing to do with the FTC.
Democrats were thrilled when Leticia James and Alvin Bragg sued Trump for absolutely NO wrongdoing. (ask Dershowitz) trump didn't settle, his great legal team knew the made up charges would never survive appeal. When you are on the right side of the law you prevail. The only way to read this (not conspiracy or fear mongering) is CBS saw exposure from their journalistic misbehavior and cut their losses. Trump should have held out for $1b but his fairness gene carried the day. 💵😉
Give 47 kudos for standing up to powerful corporations. IMHO
I don't live in an alternate reality. Trump is president, good things are happening, America and the world are safer. The Trump economy is going to lift all Americans.
Wrong. The U.S. economy shrank 0.5% between January and March, and consumer confidence is at its lowest levels since the pandemic. But living in an alternate reality, I wouldn't expect you to accept facts.

Creepy. But that is par for his course.
This is the monster that the Supreme Court enabled. I never imagined we would be living in such circumstances. Thank you for naming the game.

MAGAT Brain Rot
Ever since Paley canceled Murrow’s weekly show, CBS has kowtowed to influential politicians. Nothing new here. Same old same old.
Just watched Network again. Same same yet so much worse now. Follow the money. It leads to hell on earth.
Erich, You are dating yourself and us😊
Yes, but these are supposed to be MAGA's "good old days."
47 is looking good! The dem politicians voting Against the big bill gave Republicans lots of sound bites for challenge of their their election.
47 looks and sounds far more demented that Biden ever was.
Dang, not only do spew hate and anger, you are a terrible story teller. You must be a kidder.
You're projecting.

You see, we aren't politically polarized. MAGA just lives in an alternate reality.

LMFAO...
We now have CBS agreeing to the 'Trump Rule': prompt, complete unedited interviews with future presidential candidates.
