Paramount just paid Trump a 16M bribe because CBS needs a merger to go through

Complete and utter corruption right in front of our faces and the media doesn't blink an eye.

Paramount will pay $16 million to settle Trump lawsuit over '60 Minutes' interview with Harris

Paramount is seeking approval from his administration for a proposed merger, and the case was widely seen as a referendum on how far organizations would go to curry favor with Trump. Paramount and CBS said the case was "completely without merit" and tried to have it dismissed, even while...

Imagine the GOP reaction if Obama or Biden had held up a Fox merger for a bullshit lawsuit until they were paid.

I fully support AOC for wanting 16 billion or Paramount can FUCK OFF!

"That's different."

I cancelled Paramount+ the second I heard they were doing this. And I told them why. Sucks because I was rewatching DS9, but I guess I'll check it out from the library.

No one has paid attention to any of the other obvious corruption by other companies to buy Trump so why would anyone care about this?

Amazon paying 40 million for a Melania documentary.

25 million from meta to settle

Ten million from X to settle

16 million from Disney to settle


No one cares.

Trump had no legal case. But he was handed a win purely because he was in a position of political power. If he hadn't been paid off, he could simply have instructed his FCC lapdog to fail to approve the merger. A bribe for a criminal. A mob shakedown. Kamala should sue Fox. I can think of two interviews right off the bat they edited to benefit Trump. The Barbershop townhall was heavily edited to slice and dice his babbling. The interview where he was asked if he would release the Epstein file was edited. The trouble is that she doesn't have a lackey in charge of the FCC to block the merger if they didn't pay the bribe. The Oval Office is a criminal enterprise.

Imagine if Fox reported on this?
Or Rogan addressed it on his show?
If any conservative media cable podcast reported on it?

You know how we know they know? Cause they're not talking about Hunters laptop no more.

I could have done that for a lot less.

Take off all your clothes. Spread your legs. The end.

They know their echo chamber listeners are so well programmed, that Hunter's Laptop is now used as a "proved true conspiracy theory" example.

They don't talk about it beyond that anymore because the programming is solidified.
