📰 CBS Editing Controversy: When Is "Fake News" Convenient? (MeidasTouch Considering Lawsuit Mentioned)
Trump sued CBS's parent company, Paramount, over the editing of a Kamala Harris 60 Minutes interview, claiming the changes were deceitful and amounted to "fake news," which ultimately led to a controversial $16 million settlement in his favor.
Critics highlighted a major double standard when, after the settlement, CBS later edited Trump's own 60 Minutes interview, cutting comments—including those where he boasted about having made money from the settlement. Trump, who had fiercely challenged the Harris edit, did not allege similar "fake news."
MeidasTouch, along with other critics, strongly condemned the settlement as a corporate betrayal of journalistic ethics. They and other groups have publicly discussed the intent to sue or file shareholder actions against Paramount if the company compromised journalistic integrity by settling the "frivolous" lawsuit.
