CBS realized if they gave in, Trump had no plans of stopping attacks whatsoever. So if you're gonna get attacked anyways, you might as well fight back .

This is the way
Yeah, this is the only logical move they have. Good to see someone still has ethical brains in business these days.
I hope everyone dealing with him recognizes this and stops trying to deal with him
Corporations and their owners thought that Trump would boost the stock market through tax cuts. Instead the market is tanking due to his moronic tariffs and Russia-appeasement strategy. Now that it’s clear he won’t be making them money they have rediscovered their “morals”.
I hope this is true. I've always hoped that the one think that might save us is MAGA's virtuosic incompetence.
Yeah, I recently read a Guardian article about how the crackdown on non-violent protestors in the UK is leading climate activists to a little more, uh, active forms of protest. If you're going to jail for five years anyway, you might as well make it count.
The can't legally make allowing the merger to be a conditionon a settlement agreement. So there'd be nothing to keep his petty ass from stopping it either way.
They're greedy and would do anything for the merger, but Trump doesn't honor his deals.
I'm sure it works the same way with the mafia. I doubt companies that pay extortion to the mafia only do a one-time payment.
Interesting signs when corporations are starting to push back. Glad to see a news organization being at the front of the charge.
The motivation is still about money. It's a corporation.
In the short term, the motivation doesn’t matter as long as they’re on the right side.
It means you can’t trust them, but motivation is not the issue.
My enemy's enemy...
Oh no doubt, but they thought they could appease him somehow. Now they're realizing that once you're on his list there's no getting back in his good graces. Peace was never an option.
Even if it is about money it helps our country get these clowns closer to our
Guess ABC is having briber's remorse and CBS got wise.
Huh, can I have some clarification on this, guess I'm out of the loop.
ABC agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit that they could have easily won. Apparently, they thought it would be better to just give Trump money than it would be to piss him off by fighting it.
He will never let up on any mainstream media outlet until they are covering the news the way his favorite Conservative Propaganda Machine mouthpieces do.
Every single trump voter and supporter should drink a gallon of methanol. It’ll protect them from measles.
sadly, if we told them the "dems definitely don't want you to drink methanol, because it's bad for you", there'd be some who'd do it out of spite. this is literally what's happening with vaccines, but one's mental blindness leading to physical blindness has some poetry to it.
Just imagine if something deadlier than the covid virus infiltrated this country. And somebody developed a vaccine for it and these idiots wouldn't take it.
Oh wait, has anybody heard about what's happening in the Congo lately? 😒
the problem is exactly what we see with measles.
- children who have no choice are the ones who suffer the consequences
- because most vaccines cannot be 100% effective (e.g., I got 3 extra MMR shots and I still don't have detectable measles antibody levels despite being fully immunocompetent), they do rely on herd immunity protecting those who don't mount full responses to the shots.
The thing about public health is that it's public interest over personal choices. In a functioning free society those personal choices would still align with public interest based on the understanding of societal good. So the antagonism is totally artificial.
Methanol increases sex hormone production and fertility. It's Elon's secret that the left is hiding from you. But you gotta build it up like those people do with hydrogen peroxide.
Actually we might just loudly decaying the h2o2 people. It's just water with more oxygen, what could go wrong
if methanol was so bad, why doesn't the government want you to drink it!?
Demanding $20 billion for editorial discretion? This lawsuit screams desperation, not justice.
😺😺😺🐱
It screams judicial intimidation and abuse. How does he claim $20 billion in damages when he WON the fucking election? Hes been in office for less than 3 months, and he's already made more than that from his various scams.
Maybe if ya boy Reagan didn't kill the news fairness act we wouldn't fucking be here at all. Fuck Regan. Fuck Nixon. And fuck Trump.
This is the thing that distinguishes the intellect of orbán and trump. Orbán developed what he officially named "the system of national collaboration" with an unofficial motto of "those with us will thrive [and those who are against us will struggle]". So initially they made sure that it was a lucrative thing to align with the system making it very inconvenient for systematic resistance to emerge. Trump seems to be failing this idea already in the acute phase: maintaining pressure even when companies realign with him makes it much more convenient to push back straight up...
'comes out swinging' is any reaction that's not giving up and paying 20 billion to the class bully?
'comes out swinging' is any reaction thats not paying the legalized bribe that is the demanded settlement when trump files a bullshit lawsuit against you, so you can pay him to keep access.
Good for them - in this one particular situation
