Law CBS pays out (settles) for election interference

[EL CORINTHIAN]

I’m not trying to be pedantic, but it isn’t really figurative. An indictment has a meaning, and its meaning applies to criminal cases and not civil ones.

" iM nOt tRyInG tO bE pEdAnTiC, bUt......"

The word can be used figuratively without absolving its literal meaning, genius.

I had no idea you could sue for election interference in a civil court.

Technically that's not what he sued them for, Trump's lawsuit alleges that by editing the Kamala interview Paramount engaged in commercial fraud that undermined Trump as a competitor in the digital content creation space.

Patently absurd imo.

 

[Confucamus]

I have explained why, over and over again. They edit all their interviews for clarity and brevity and specifically to fit the time slot. 60 Minutes is not a podcast, the aired program is never an unedited interview.

It will be now for CBS, thanks to this blunder.

I'm assuming and you've done nothing to make me rethink that assumption.

So, that's a yes.

He's extorting them to punish them for publishing something he didn't like, that's what authoritarian leaders do. Same reason he's suing Ann Seltzer but let me guess, you also think that was "election interference" don't you?

No. But if I did, it would have as much weight as your opinion on why Trump sued CBS.

Wait, you think they edited in a different answer to the question asked? That's not what happened at all, they merely edited part of her answer out but they didn't substitute a different answer to the question asked.

If they change her answer, then it's different.

Nobody tried because it'd be completely baseless as pretty much every legal analyst whose examined the merits of the case.

Whatever. They never tried. I don't know why you're talking about it.

Of course it can. But if you try and do that while talking about a court case, you’re going to risk sounding like you don’t wtf you’re talking about.
But this thread is full of right wingers who don’t know wtf they’re talking about, so I guess you’ll fit right in.

That's nice, run along and go piss your pants somewhere else.

It's figurative language shit for brains.

There's no "indictment" in this case, moron. Care to write a response of any substance related to this specific topic? Or was that pathetic attempt at a "gotcha" all you have?

Do you not understand what "figurative" means, shit for brains?

I do, but it's very clear that you don't considering how you used it in your post. So I'll ask again....Care to write a response of any substance related to this specific topic? Or was that pathetic attempt at a "gotcha" all you have?

 

[EL CORINTHIAN]

I do

You really don't.

I spoke my piece and am still waiting for you to do something other than to cling on to a single fucking word you misunderstood to be literal as if it's your own "gotcha" attempt (you're projecting by the way).

Shit for brains

You spoke your piece. None of it had anything to do with any details I referenced in my post. You used the word "indictment" in its literal sense, since you were referring to the criminal indictments against Trump, despite it having nothing to do with this case. Then you backpedaled and said you were using it figuratively to try to avoid looking the the moron that you are.

I welcome you to dispute anything in my post. If you can't? Shut the fuck up and move along.

"let me address your post.....but first, let me get back to that word."

Exactly what I said you were doing in my last post. Like a moth to the flame.

You actually don't realize people figuratively use that word. You are clinging on to this so fucking hard it's hard to watch.

I'm not back peddling anything fuck head, I'm actually reeling it back to my original post before you attempted your "gotcha".

Now if you have something to say about that post do it swiftly, otherwise, to the depths with you. Shit for brains.

 

[Islam Imamate]

They didn't change her answer though. They edited a part out, again for clarity and brevity as they have always done, but they matched every question from the interviewer with its respective response from Kamala.

Whatever. They never tried. I don't know why you're talking about it.

Because it shows how unusual Trump's lawsuit is.

Yes, people use that word figuratively. You didn't. That's a fact based on the post you used it in.

So I'll very generously lay out the facts in this case again to give you one last chance to avoid looking like a complete moron...

Trump sued CBS for editing a 60 minutes interview with Kamala Harris. Something that happens for every single interview on the show. The lawsuit was absolutely fucking ridiculous and would have been easily won in court by CBS. However, Paramount (the parent company of CBS) is looking to do a merger with Skydance worth approximately 8 billion dollars. To complete said merger they need approval from....the FCC controlled by, Donald Trump.

So what this comes down to is Paramount being extorted by Trump, into paying 16 million dollars to Trump, under threat of the FCC not approving a merger deal worth 8 billion dollars. It's pretty fucking simple, so even you should be able to comprehend what's going on here.

So what is your counter argument?

No it was definitely used in a figurative sense but you're annoyed that your gotcha moment was shat on. Let it go already.


Yes, dress up your opinions as ‘facts.’ CBS settled—full stop. And now you’re twisting yourself into knots to frame it as extortion because, for once, the indictment (yes, that’s a synonym for accusation) of election interference is pointing in the other direction. Instead of Trump being the supposed beneficiary, he’s claiming—like he always has—that he’s the target.

And look, I couldn’t care less about the mango molester. But what’s hilarious is watching your side suddenly leap to defend the poor corporations. The same people who were screaming about journalistic integrity and democracy being under siege are now running PR for CBS and Paramount.

Either you believe media manipulation is real, or you don’t. But if this were Fox News settling under a Democratic FCC, you lot would foaming at the mouth circle jerking each other swearing up and down it was a smoking gun.

Im basically saying you guys are full of shit like in my original post. Do you have a counter argument for being full of shit.......shit for brains?

Stop stop he's already dead !

Going forward, the network will promptly release full, unedited transcripts of future presidential candidates’ interviews.

All other political bullshit aside, this is obviously the most significant consequence of this whole dust-up, and I consider it a huge win for everyone.

I would hope that every media outlet would do this. It should be as inherent to journalism as any other tenet they deign to follow.

Would it override sourcing confidentiality and off the record comments?

LOL @"sourcing confidentiality" when the source is the President you're interviewing.

Bro spare me your butthurt jibber jabber about tea prices in China.

That means they changed it, bud. Playing word games is boring.

Because it shows how unusual Trump's lawsuit is.

So, we're down to the lawsuit just being "unusual." Okay, you're free to feel that way.
