Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Obviously both CBS/Paramount are chicken shit fuckers that have decided it's cheaper/easier to capitulate and cut a deal rather than fight for whatever remains of their "honor"/"freedom".
Good thing I don't watch either one... 🖕 🤡 💩
I mean, I fully expect them to settle and that's depressing, but so far they haven't. The article is paywalled, but it looks like this is what a mediator has proposed, that's all.
Because they are cowards.
In addition to the cowards reasoning it's also because Paramount (parent company of CBS) and Skydance Media are trying to merge.
That deal is valued at ~8 billion dollars, so settling for a couple million in that context makes sense.
Additionally since it's a merger it requires FCC approval and Trump appointed the FCC chairman and is known to meddle in things.
So these companies are trying to play nice with Trump so they can merge.
Basically paying $20 to make this go away is the cost of doing business. Corruption all the way.
It's a bribe.
Trump embarrassed or humbled. Sure
Yeah what a crock of shit.
Will Mexico pay for it?
It appears President Donald Trump won’t be getting anywhere close to the $20 billion he demanded from CBS and its parent company Paramount Global now that a mediator proposed a $20 million settlement instead.
The proposal would include a $17 million payment to Trump’s presidential library, $2 million more than ABC’s settlement with Trump in December, and another $3 million in legal fees and public service announcements covering antisemitism
Meet new CBS CEO, same as old CBS CEO (more importantly, same shareholders) who said when Trump was winning in 2016:
It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS
I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.
Did CBS make Harris statement on Israel more pro or anti Israel?
