Yea, the amount of bending over to please Trump CBS/Paramount has done is insane. All to please the king so their merger won't be blocked... That said, I haven't watched more than a few clips of the Late Show in YEARS(same with all the late-night talk shows really)

Haven't CBS and Paramount been a single company in all but name this whole time anyway? And wasn't the fake split entirely voluntary? Why was there any friction toward them re-merging in the first place?

That’s not the merger being discussed, though I get the confusion. ;)

The big merger (actually, more of a purchase) being discussed is Paramount/CBS with Skydance Media. Skydance has been a MAJOR financier for the last several years, and Skydance’s founder/chairman, David Ellison, is looking to merge Skydance, Paramount Global, and Paramount controlling interest, National Amusements. The deal is valued in the neighborhood of $8 billion.

Ellison is also, reportedly, “amicable” to the Trump Administration, which has caused significant friction among the CBS News and more liberal segments within the company (like the South Park production team). Especially with Trump’s frivolous lawsuit still in process since last fall Over how a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris was edited

Yeah, but what's Murdoch done for him lately? Like, within the last hour or so, because that's about as far as Ancient Orange remembers.

Trump sues Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch over Epstein report

President follows through on libel threat over report that said he sent Epstein ‘bawdy’ birthday note and sketch

Vice-president JD Vance poured scorn on the report, tweeting on Thursday: "Forgive my language but this story is complete and utter bullshit. The WSJ should be ashamed for publishing it. Where is this letter? Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it? Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?"

Yes. Yes we do.

I don't know if he absolutely technically can't. It could be one of those things nobody ever assumed they'd need to write a rule to prevent a president from doing. But if it's not a rule I'm sure anyone he talks to in DOJ will tell him it's a rule.

WSJ claimed the Trump–Epstein article was an “exclusive.” But what if I told you they fully intended to show it to people? https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.693830/gov.uscourts.flsd.693830.1.0.pdf

I guess that's one way to interpret "exclusive" with regards to news stories... "We thought they were only going to show the story to three people! What else could exclusive mean?"
