To the editor: Probably the most disturbing information I’ve learn is the possible deal to settle President Trump’s baseless lawsuit against CBS for enhancing decisions made for the “60 Minutes” October 2024 interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.
To facilitate her household’s deal to promote CBS proprietor Paramount to Skydance Media, Shari Redstone is reportedly pushing Paramount’s legal professionals to settle, promoting out our press freedoms for a fast buck.
To Ms. Redstone: Please save our impartial press. Don’t legitimize Trump’s political stunt by validating this lawsuit with capitulation. Combat, combat, combat.

To the editor: Trump’s frivolous lawsuit over a “60 Minutes” broadcast is wholly with out benefit.
Filed on Oct. 31, 2024, in Texas to facilitate choose buying, the case was initially a political stunt to falsely allege media bias and election interference.
Following Trump’s election victory and capitulation by ABC in an equally frivolous defamation declare involving George Stephanopoulos, the CBS lawsuit has developed to facilitate extra harmful functions. It now seems to be a hybrid automobile between solicitation of a bribe and authorities coercion.
A chilling impact on media criticism of the convicted felon president would be the final results of any settlement.
