Summary
CBS has moved to dismiss Donald Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, calling it an attack on the First Amendment.
Trump alleges CBS edited the interview to harm him politically, citing “voter interference.” CBS attorneys argue the lawsuit seeks to punish “constitutionally protected editorial judgments” and is “without basis in law or fact.”
If not dismissed, CBS wants it moved to New York, where its headquarters is located.
The move comes as a surprise because CBS had considered settling to avoid delaying its $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, which requires regulatory approval.
I don’t think they really care whether they’re dealing with a man or woman. They happily cut Bernie out of coverage as well in the primaries to favor Clinton.
I guess that’s true, but they then proceeded to constantly dunk on Hillary and often for the most stupid of reasons: emails, Benghazi, her laugh, having hot sauce, she was obviously at death’s door, etc.
I mean, if they kneecapped Bernie so they got a more centrist candidate, they then started playing with fire by employing the bothsiderist nonsense. In many cases, it was not even bothsiderist, it was tipping the scales in favor of little d, whether it’s because they wanted their horse race or because their corporate masters wanted tax cuts. In any case, I am sure more than a few knew exactly what they were doing. And I’m sure more than a few of them knew, even then, just how dangerous and flawed someone like little d is.
