CBS Is Tortured by Trump, Put Their Rage Into '60 Minutes'
Media Bias,Media Watch,Media Industry,CBS Bias,Donald Trump
CBS News thinks the crown jewel of its news division is 60 Minutes, the alleged gold standard of investigative journalism on television. But when it comes to politics, their coverage isn’t just slanted. It’s more like a wrecked bus laying on its side, wheels spinning in the air.
Their stilted editing of a Kamala Harris interview weeks before the election caused Donald Trump to sue last year over the potential harm to his candidacy. By that standard, Trump could sue lots of newscasters and documentarians who slice and dice presidential contenders to try and persuade voters.
The Wall Street Journal reported the owners of CBS at Paramount Global in recent days offered $15 million to settle the suit, but Team Trump wants more than $25 million and is also seeking an apology from CBS News.
