Paramount Global is reportedly in settlement talks with Donald Trump over a $10 billion lawsuit related to a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris. The lawsuit claims CBS selectively edited Harris’ responses to make her look more favorable, while Trump declined a similar interview. CBS denies wrongdoing, saying the edits were standard. However, Paramount’s potential settlement has sparked backlash within CBS News, with executives fearing it could undermine journalistic integrity. This follows recent settlements by Meta and ABC with Trump. Critics worry that such payouts set a dangerous precedent, allowing powerful figures to pressure media organizations through litigation.
