Summary

CBS has moved to dismiss Donald Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, calling it an attack on the First Amendment.

Trump alleges CBS edited the interview to harm him politically, citing “voter interference.” CBS attorneys argue the lawsuit seeks to punish “constitutionally protected editorial judgments” and is “without basis in law or fact.”

If not dismissed, CBS wants it moved to New York, where its headquarters is located.

The move comes as a surprise because CBS had considered settling to avoid delaying its $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, which requires regulatory approval.

    Weird, if this post were critical of the liberal media it would have tens of comments. Suddenly they do something good and we’re all quiet and shit.

    EDIT: This comment was at one point 12-0 and now it’s 17-69 which really just proves my point about suspicious activity all over communities that share news.

      Dude, it was posted 25 minutes ago. Give it time to reach. Also, most of the US is dealing with daylight savings time today and is probably sleeping in.

      don’t punish someone when they do the right thing. this is the minimum. i’m glad they’re doing it, but it’s not where i’m placing my hopes for the future

        I recognize you as well, the only interaction I think we’ve ever had was you getting upset because I expressed dislike for Adam Connover.
