The news came out that President Trump and CBS\/Paramount have settled the lawsuit that President Trump filed last year. This was over the 60 Minutes interview of Kamala Harris. It turned out that Harris couldn\u2019t string two sentences together, so 60 Minutes heavily edited the interview to make her not look like the moron she is.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/09\/67\/34\/096734d60b62d08ecfa628ef9b5bd4c8.jpg?resize=500%2C375&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>President Trump sued CBS and later Paramount for $20 billion dollars. This was a lot more than Paramount, which owns CBS is actually worth. Paramount was also in negotiations to be sold to Skydance and was very close to closing the deal. That was put on hold when the suit was filed, and Skydance was very close to walking away.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/6b\/0d\/dd\/6b0dddb274a5b4997aa642ad950cde6f.jpg?resize=419%2C488&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"419\" height=\"488\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This caused Shari Redstone, who owns most of Paramount to throw a fit. She instructed the lawyers to start working out a settlement ASAP. This caused the Commies of CBS news to throw their own collectivist fits. The CBS News division actively worked to sabotage both the settlement talks and the deal with Skydance. Paramount\u2019s management decided this had to stop and sent some adults to the news division to shut them up. This caused the 60 Minutes producer to allegedly quit in a huff. (He may have been invited to resign or be fired. We probably won\u2019t know what really happened)<\/p>\n<p>Last week, a settlement was reached. Apparently, President Trump gets $16 million and another $15-16 million goes to his presidential library. CNS News is also forced to clean up it\u2019s act. I believe they must release transcripts of presidential candidate interviews in total. As you would expect, the News Division is most unhappy, including Bill Whitaker. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsfront\/60-minutes-journalist-bill-whitaker\/2025\/07\/03\/id\/1217541\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Here are the details from Newsmax<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; correspondent who interviewed Kamala Harris reportedly grew emotional at a staff meeting Wednesday held after Paramount agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit in which President Donald Trump alleged that the interview was deceptively edited, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.status.news\/p\/60-minutes-reaction-trump-settlement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to journalist Oliver Darcy<\/a>. <\/b><b>Bill Whitaker, 73, appeared &#8220;teary-eyed&#8221; and &#8220;quite somber&#8221; in the meeting as he addressed his colleagues. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I wonder if it was the repudiation of everything he stood for by Paramount or the probability he\u2019s going to be out of a job in a few months?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Correspondents Lesley Stahl and Sharyn Alfonsi also voiced\u00a0frustration and dismay that the payout had been made. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/82\/84\/b6\/8284b6d0b374454f4c9dc66f2db8246f.jpg?resize=444%2C249&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"444\" height=\"249\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When this lawsuit was first filed, many lawyers poo poo\u2019d it and said that there was no way President Trump could win. However, others, especially after the raw footage of Kamala\u2019s utter incompetence was released and it was compared to what 60 Minutes released, thought that there might actually be something there. In any case, the Paramount management and legal teams decided they had to settle and started sending out feelers to the Trump team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Paramount, which owns CBS, said\u00a0the money will go to Trump&#8217;s future presidential library and to pay his legal fees, and it is not apologizing or expressing regret about the story.

They are also changing their editorial standards.
