Shari Redstone should not be able to get a table anywhere in Hollywood.

In un caso che è diventato un banco di prova molto seguito per verificare se un'azienda avrebbe sostenuto i suoi giornalisti e tenuto testa al presidente Donald #Trump, la Paramount Global ha deciso di pagare a Trump 16 milioni di dollari per chiudere una causa riguardante il montaggio del famoso programma di notizie "60 Minutes" della CBS.
Il problema era il montaggio della trasmissione. Harris è stata mostrata mentre forniva due risposte diverse a una domanda su Israele del corrispondente Bill #Whitaker in clip trasmesse su "60 Minutes" e "Face the Nation". Entrambe le risposte facevano parte di una lunga e articolata risposta che Harris ha dato a Whitaker.
La @freedomofpress , un gruppo di difesa dei media che si dichiara azionista della Paramount, ha dichiarato che avrebbe intentato una causa per protesta se si fosse raggiunto un accordo. Il suo direttore, @SethStern, ha affermato che mercoledì è stato "un giorno buio per la #Paramount e per la libertà di stampa", ma non ha fornito dettagli su eventuali azioni legali.

#CBS News did nothing wrong. But its parent company still paid price. That's the moral of #Paramount settlement story. And it's a story that keeps repeating itself in the #Trump era. #Paramount confirmed that it is paying $16 million to make Trump's legally dubious #60Minutes #lawsuit go away. Paramount did not agree to any apology — which was a major point of tension. But it did agree to help fund Trump's future #presidential #library. #censorship #law #maga #journalism #firstamendment #lies
Absurd. Paramount is a bunch of whores. It’s only going to get worse for you!
Paramount will settle with Trump for $16 million over ’60 Minutes’ Kamala Harris interview https://www.fastcompany.com/91362005/paramount-will-settle-with-trump-for-16-million-over-60-minutes-kamala-harris-interview
Paramount has agreed to pay $16 million to the future presidential library of U.S. President Donald Trump over a single question and answer in a CBS “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris. "He claimed without evidence that the Harris exchange was deliberately edited to benefit the Democratic candidate and hurt him," write Brian Stelter and Liam Reilly for @CNN. “This is a very sad moment for ’60 Minutes,’ CBS News and journalism,” a CBS News staffer told CNN on condition of anonymity.
#Paramount is now trending across Mastodon
A terrible decision by Paramount that effectively muzzles another member of the Fourth Estate in favour of a majority shareholder more concerned with getting a deal on an unrelated product and not wishing to piss off the Unstable Genius enough to have him (or his spineless minions) kill the deal.
Second mainstream network news to cave to the idjit. People need to rely on journalism from the Fifth Estate to get news that isn't governed by the State.

Shari Redstone is living proof that corporations are not people.
