Evidence
“This strategy was used last year when the president sued CBS News for airing two different responses during a 60 Minutes interview with then–Vice President Kamala Harris. Rather than fight it, CBS News' parent company, Paramount, settled the suit. In what may have been a coincidence, Paramount was later given federal approval to merge with Skydance Media.”
