CBS Settlement With Trump Over 60 Minutes Lawsuit Signals Media Capitulation
CUOMO
3 Signs Of The Coming Political Apocalypse
What was said
"CBS, Paramount, whoever it is, settling with Trump on a lawsuit that I believe 60 Minutes wins all day long. Everybody edits their interviews unless it's a live broadcast. We've never seen a media company fold in litigation against the government like this before."
Cuomo criticizes CBS for settling Trump's lawsuit over 60 Minutes editing practices, calling it unprecedented corporate capitulation that violates media's responsibility to resist governmental pressure. He argues the case was winnable since all outlets edit interviews, and compares it to similar settlements by CNN and ABC, suggesting corporate survival calculations are overriding journalistic principles.
