CBS pays Trump off, it’s called Extortion, and it won’t stop there…

Irene Seaborn's avatar

Trump did it to Universities, why not Networks, look at all the pay off, that’s why, he ask Supreme Court for immunity, he will raise the Debt Ceiling, to Trillions, and look at all, Countries all over the World… MAKING A KILLING $$$

For Himself and Family……

Trump wants to keep the future generation uneducated. All the better for him to rule with an iron fist and have nobody question him.😱

So ashamed of him and Republicans in Congress. Now I can add CBS to the list.

Thomas W Glass's avatar

Exactly. Let them go down.

Yes - ABC did the same thing. Mainstream media = don't bother!

That is why I belong to 16 substacks. Better news and integrity.

Idk if they think they are smart or what, but damn CBS is being stupid. Giving up money and their freedom at the same time. How are people still acting so dumb.. 😳

I have been since before the election. All msm is a fucking joke . Most media companies are owned by magats. CNN is the Russian propaganda network.

This sounds like those mob movies when the little business has to pay to mob for protection. How is this ok? He is the president he should not be receiving any settlements or bribes. Biden didn’t make Fox pay with all the bs they said about him. I’m sure he didn’t like it.

But Rump is a thin skinned baby man narcissist who can’t handle the truth that he’s a piece of 💩 and he knows his cult is realizing that. We’ve already stopped all mainstream news at our house and have no problem whatsoever of kicking Paramount to the curb. 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

Absolutely. I myself, choose to get my news from outlets that speak truth and not headline grabbers.

Holly's avatar

This is exactly what I was thinking. It's so corrupt. I'm just floored.

This is crazy. They all need to stand up and not pay Donald a penny if he does it to them he'll do it to everyone and that is why he's coming after you.. this cannot happen and this cannot go on. When are the Democrats going to put their foot down and say enough is enough?

jamocat's avatar

This isn't just on Democrats although they need to get rid of their feckless leadership and develop a clear and consistent messaging strategy for sure. This is about the billionaire business leaders learning to stand up for themselves. What is even the point of being so rich and successful if you just give in to a C minus bully who clearly folds the second someone doesn't bend to his will?? Is this just their legal teams trying to rack up billable hours in protracted negotiations?

How do you know if they aren't. Who is going to report it? I'm not giving them a pass but all they can do is combat by calling it out. I'm agreeing with you, but I have heard a lot of creators, blame, Dems & non voters. Ultimately the blame lies on the people that voted for him. If Trump had been the Rep. candidate, in the 60's, 70's, 80's, and maybe the 90's he would not have gotten very many votes. Morals hadn't deteriorated as much then as now.

Susan Ricketts's avatar

Morals deteriorated with Trump. People hung on every word Trump said. People sat on the edge of their seat watching Fox News. They believed him and did not care that he was lying to their face. You are right he wouldn't have been elected in the 60, or 70's and 80. It was a time of free love, standing together and Hari Krishna. Life was simple, no internet, Facebook, no cell phones. It was a great life. People had manners, would call people Mr., and Mrs. Opening doors and our kids went to school to learn about history. (I won't go there). The problem is that people believe the lies, the misinformation to the point they are obsessed.

It is going to take everyone to fix this...from MAGA to Democrats and to the Republicans who have had enough.

Mr. Glass does make a good point on accountability. I like to add, that people need to start taking accountability for themselves. Let's say someone was breaking into a warehouse knowing there was 24 hour security: well they know the risk of their actions and consequences but they still decide to do it. That's on them because that was their decision, so they are accountable and have nobody to blame but themselves. The people, from the money and top, to anyone else tearing everything apart for themselves and friends, they know the risk and actions of their decisions and chose and need to be held accountable for it all and stop blaming others for their decisions. Fair is Fair.

Susan Ricketts's avatar

They need to do something. The courts need to do something and not bend to Trump and their minions. What is happening is terrifying. To see 1940 all over again is scary. You know from watching Aaron that most of the United States is not seeing the true picture of what is happening. I see it, I read it, we talk about it. You cannot be with a group of people and not talk about what is happening to you in the States. I hope is that your country will recover soon.

I am very worried. I see 1938 happening all over again.

I canceled my subscription to ParamountPlus and will continue to boycott CBS programming. They might as well be considered state run broadcasting. I hope all talent leaves their studios!

This so sad 😞 wee are in fascismo, times in a very dark times 🥵

Fuck CBS and Paramount!!! They are a disgrace

Punkette's avatar

“The Senate has confirmed Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to France.”

I was shocked to learn on Huffpost this morning that ONE Democrat joined Republicans to confirm Daddy Kushner … and that turncoat was Cory Booker. In his prepared testimony for his confirmation hearing, Kushner thanked Booker for his “special and close friendship.”

WTAF. Et tu, Cory???

People need to BOYCOTT CBS. Let them see how valuable it is if nobody’s watching it!

Yes but if their viewers go down , their sponsorship goes down. That’s what it’s all about for these people $$

Sam Ray's avatar

Isn't it more accurate to say, "CBS is on the verge of giving in to trump's extortion?"

jamocat's avatar

So stupid. At this point it is clear that giving him an inch just shows him that you are weak and leads him to come back for more and more. Standing up to him the first time leads to him backing off. Classic school yard bully. Come back to me for more free and obvious legal advice..

CBS news is bending the knee too. 💀🙉

Patti Morgan's avatar

Let's call it what it is. It's called bribery. It's out in the open these days, not as a settlement,or lobbying, but buying favors.

We are absolutely not a free country, anymore, everyone. It's over. 😢
