These huge multibillion dollar corporations could always say no and take him to court, so this isn't all on Trump. The corporate media would rather make profit than fight.---Jason

Not quite. If they went to court and "won" they would lose by being put on ConvictedFelon34's Permanent Shit List.

Why, why? Stand up to him. What frivolous legal action has he taken? If it’s stupid why not stand up to the thing. You are being controlled by a man with a suspected mental health problem. He’s 80 years old. Try and rescue your reputation. Most people know what he is. We need a hero to combat this object.

"Suspected" mental health problem. It is a fact, proven every time he opens his mouth.

I could be explicit on the matter but choose to refer to ‘ The dangerous case of Donald Trump’ they are the professionals 🙄 water is wet and all that!! Breathtaking.

It is appalling, that's what I think. Just like Lincoln and Reagan are rolling in their graves at what the republican party has become, Murrow and Kronkite and ALL of our reporting and news ancestors, regardless of their network affiliation are doing likewise. Trump is a stain upon the office, just as all of this knee bending is a disgrace to our Constitution and our right to free and fair reporting of the news writ large.

Yet, they all complain about and fear him because they know that he never keeps promises he makes and can turn on them with one wrong word! If they all banded together and did the right thing (like being honest about his intentions) then more Americans would have voted him out and he’d be gone! Wtf?! I can’t believe that these people are complicit knowing that they are putting their children’s and grandchildren’s futures in jeopardy!

This sets Trump up to shake down anybody he wants to sue. He’ll send his personal attorney out to “collect” like Vito Corleone’s boys shakin’ a candy store or butcher shop. Are there no balls in Washington, New York, or Los Angeles any more?

Sadly no! No more truth to power in America unless you subscribe to Substack News. I no longer watch any news outlet because they are no longer trustworthy

100% Myra! I am with you, that and Fact checking everything! So sad that we cannot trust broadcast anymore. I no longer participate in FB. MSNBC, CNN, only network news I watch is weather, and frankly use phone weather app for that.

If they capitulate like ABC did, they will have forever given up their integrity. I no longer watch ABC news and I am not going to start watching either CBS nor NBC because they will follow in ABC’s footsteps. They are no better than Russia’s State run news programs. We all know that all of the so called news in Russia follows the Party line. The same is going to be true here.

This isn't a presidency. It's a Mafia run by a crime boss. The slogan for his administration should be: Pay to Play.

I am just about ready to cancel my Washington Post subscription and maybe the Times after that. I think mainstream media helped elect the orange monster and they are all donating to him and his campaign. Why pay for subscriptions that don’t tell the truth?

It is a disgusting point of view, considering how Trump lies and lies and delays and lies some more. Trump cannot be trusted. CBS News has been a trusted source of News for many decades. The American people rightly respect CBS News, NBC News and ABC News as well as PBS. NO ONE trusts Donald Trump: NO ONE and we have no reason to trust him. He lies all the time, night and day. DO NOT acquiesce to the Liar in Chief: it further spoils America.

Dear Paramount, please look at how people have reacted and fled from the Washington Post and Facebook and Amazon. Please be strong.

I’m not understanding why the high priced attorneys at Paramount aren’t seeing through this BS and challenging this PAPER TIGER in court! Isn’t the burden of proof of THEM??!! What’s the difference between paying their attorneys to go to court with this case? It’s the same as handing over that same amount of money for a CASE HE CANNOT WIN!!

Aren't the Orange Baboon interviews edited? Will we, the taxpayers (DOJ), pay his legal fees? This guy hasn't told the truth since he came down the escalator in 2015. CBS, please don't give in to this bogus lawsuit. Do what the Orange Baboon does: have your lawyers delay, delay, delay.

I was saddened when ABC/Disney settled with the Trump crime syndicate on a case they could have won before even going to trial. I will be sickened if CBS bends a knee as well. It is not the employees but the CEOs who seek favor from the convicted felon. We can no longer trust the news agencies we have for our lifetimes looked to for the truth.

Trump cements his persona as a mob boss: Grift and Shake-down schemes He’ll be extracting money from easy corporate marks and tax payers for four or more years, while flooding the social media ecosystems with lies that won’t be factored-checked. He’s never been accountable for his crimes and looks to be in great shape to continue the run!
