Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter

The heads keep rolling.

CBS News parent Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million to resolve an extraordinary lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump over a “60 Minutes” news report last fall.

The long-gestating and highly controversial settlement payment was announced by Paramount late Tuesday night.

Paramount said the $16 million sum “includes plaintiffs’ fees and costs,” and will not be paid to Trump directly, but instead will be allocated to Trump’s future presidential library — mirroring a settlement agreement that Disney’s ABC struck with Trump last December.

“The settlement does not include a statement of apology or regret,” Paramount specified.

The announcement also said that “in the future, ‘60 Minutes’ will release transcripts of interviews with eligible U.S. presidential candidates after such interviews have aired, subject to redactions as required for legal or national security concerns.”

CNN is butthurt.

Legal experts maintained that Trump’s suit was frivolous and that CBS was on solid ground to fight and win the case in court.

That the Poilievre Conservatives chose not to grab the culture war ring when they had the chance will go down as one of the greatest campaign blunders of all time.

@kevinolearytvThis mess started with Trudeau, the idiot king, who rammed through Bill C-69, a policy so anti-development it basically banned pipelines and choked off energy revenue. Now, Carney inherits an economic wasteland and thinks taxing U.S. tech is the fix?

Julie Kelly: Amy Coney Barrett took a blowtorch to KBJ.

Indeed: “We will not dwell on JUSTICE JACKSON’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this: JUSTICE JACKSON decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary.”

@JonathanTurley …We have our fourth opinion. It is Mahmoud v. Taylor, by Justice Alito. Huge 6-3victory for parental rights over the ability to withdraw their children from LGBTQ lessons.The Court includes pictures from these books to drive home these points…

This Is CNN

Body language.

Update;(h/t Orson).

The top-secret Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) assessment that claimed Iran’s nuclear sites suffered only moderate damage likely relied on faulty information from deceitful Iranian sources, according to several former U.S. intelligence officers, one of whom described the document as so unreliable “you can wipe your ass with it.”
