Trump Wins Humiliatingly Massive Payout From CBS Over Kamala Interview Scandal
"Congratulatins to President Donald Trump for winning settlements from the lying media that could total $59 million," says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.
Paramount Global and CBS News have settled a lawsuit filed by President Trump, which alleged that the network deceptively edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris to make her appear more polished as a candidate.
Trump's lawsuit, filed last October, had claimed the network's actions amounted to election interference. He rejected an offer back in May to settle the case for $15 million. And it's a good thing he did so.
Details of the settlement have been made public. They are thoroughly humiliating for CBS.
The agreement involves two separate payments, the first of which is $16 million-an amount exceeding both the network's initial offer and the payment ABC had to shell out to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by Trump back in December after George Stephanopoulos falsely accused him of rape.
It pays to call out the fake news on their BS.
It gets worse for CBS and Paramount. The settlement includes an anticipated subsequent payment that has yet to be finalized, but according to reports, would also be in eight-figure territory, bringing the total amount to over $30 million.
