> “It is one thing for CBS to make independent editorial decisions protected by the First Amendment. It is quite another to make edits at the President’s demand out of fear of retribution,” Raskin wrote. “The double standard here undermines public trust and demonstrates how Paramount’s capitulation has compromised CBS News’s independence. The American people deserve to know whether their news is shaped by journalistic judgment or by Donald Trump.”
Keep calling this shit out like Representative Raskin does here, there’s 100% a fucking double-standard in this country all the fucking time when it comes to Republicans vs Democrats.

Didn’t Trump sue CBS over alleged edits to a Kamala Harris interview?
And didn’t CBS settle for somehting like $16M?
Golly!

Of course. Trump filed a couple of lawsuits because interviews weren’t favorably edited, and one of them settled. He will continue with what works.

media trust is already low. if they messed with the edit, it hurts everyone. if they didn’t, they still gotta prove it clearly.
