Paramount, CBS forced to pay eight figures, change editorial policy in settlement with President Trump

By disguising Harris’s incoherent meanderings with a neat, made‑for‑prime‑time rewrite, CBS’s once‑venerable “60 Minutes” traded journalistic duty for partisan spin. Paramount’s settlement only spotlights the deception: a network that quietly doctored campaign coverage and then stonewalled transparency, rigging narrative and betraying viewers while calling it “routine editing.”
Despite Paramount’s impulse to buy peace, CBS’s “60 Minutes” owes Trump not a dime nor an apology. The broadcast followed routine, transparent editing; the FCC‑released transcript proved it. Trump’s $20 billion tantrum distracts from the fact he dodged the interview. CBS stood firm, practicing tough, equal‑opportunity journalism while the former president spun demonstrable lies.
