Trump Sues CBS for $10 Billion Over Alleged Editing in Kamala Harris Interview

Why is there argument over a lawsuit. Clearly, CBS changed the reply of Harris making her look like she said something intelligent. Which given the reasons for the interview and the repercussions if her replies were not good directly relate to the elections which are made by the voters perception of the candidate. Then the changes they made were not made to shorten the time to make room for more questions as CBS stated. The fact that they absolutely refuse to release the unedited version lends credence that CBS is hiding something that may damage how people perceive Harris. 

CBS is long known to side with Dems and shed them in a better light for the public to see. However, the lawsuit is going to be just the tip of the  iceberg I think.. If Trump wins the election, I hope he encourages the FCC to pull the license from CBS for misleading the public. It is about time someone went after the networks for biased reporting. They are supposed to be unbiased giving news and information without choosing sides or making opinions. Even the head of the FCC demanded the unedited transcript of the interview and was told no. What right does CBS have to hide this from the public or the governing body like the FCC?

I hope Trump wins the suit and hope that if he also wins the elections that he gets CBS off the air. 

It is clear the replies she made for the edited and unedited version are different with both content and meaning. In the unedited reply she admits to her and the admin causing conflicts in the region. In the unedited one she does not and only uses double-talk. Saying a lot without any meaning. 

Someone is always hiding something in the Trump conspiracy world. It is always someone’s else’s fault because he is the greatest ever at everything.  Hard to believe adults are still falling for his con and grifting. An orange face con man. Will be glad when he is gone.

OK just for others then I said the actual court filing contains 11 instances of the word 'salad'. I don't think the filing of this case will help others who have never heard the word salad in reference to Ms. Harris.

Trump will lose because he doesn't have standing to sue because he doesn't like the editing of a TV show.

 

What the courts will think about this:

 

 

[Danderman123]

I am going to sue ABC TV because I didn't like the last episode of "Lost".

From the Amarillo, TX court filing:
64. Because of CBS’s false, misleading, and deceptive conduct, President Trump has sustained damages in an amount greater than $75,000.00, and reasonably believed to be at least $10,000,000,000, that will be determined upon trial of this action.

(However) CBS’s distortion of the 60 Minutes Interview damaged President Trump’s fundraising and support values by several billions of dollars, particularly in Texas.

Conversely, a Trump lie could damage fundraising for Kamala Harris. This will not go well for Trump.

 

BTW, this is an admission by Trump that the 60 Minutes interview was good for Harris and bad for Trump.

If it looks like BS, and it's said by a biased organisation, likely it is BS.

 

I wish Trump success in his endeavor to give her a bit of what he's been getting re the so called justice system.

 

Even if he does not win the court case, the publicity will ensure the voters know the sort of IMO devious and scurrilous shenanigans the anti Trumpers resort to. 

It exposes the MSM hypocrisy,similar to the circular reporting of Russia Russia , 51former agents and the dreaded laptop from hell  and Biden demonstrated mental failings,from elections past.

What took you so long?

I can think of a lot of his adversaries that should be praying for Trump to win next week.  Because if he's president, he won't have as much spare time to sue the people who have defamed, attacked, and literally incited assassins to shoot at him. 

 

If they can sue $1 billion out of Alex Jones for hurt feelings, what's a bullet to the ear worth?

Whatever the merits of the case under Texas law, this is clearly a case of venue shopping:

 

No doubt.  File that under "2 can play at that game".

The case could have been filed in any Texas city that had a CBS affiliate who broadcast the 60 Minutes Harris interview.

 

That they chose Amarillo was strictly because they knew for certain the judge to whom their case would be assigned.

Fox or Newsmax never edited an interview to remove embarassing bits for Trump...

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/24/media/fox-news-edit-trump-barbershop-interview/index.html

Fox News edited Trump’s rambling answers and false claims in barbershop interview, full video shows.

New YorkCNN — 

The Fox News Channel’s recent segment about Donald Trump’s “surprise” visit to a barbershop in the Bronx resembled a campaign ad for the former president’s reelection.

Trump was seen taking questions and making small talk with Black and Hispanic barbershop customers and workers, some of whom were wearing “Make Barbers Great Again” shirts. The visit was part of “Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones’ ongoing barbershop interview series.

But the version of the visit shown on television was, to borrow a hairstyle metaphor, a crop cut. Fox edited out many of Trump’s rambling comments and false claims. Participants had to repeatedly follow up when Trump meandered away from the original point of their questions.

Like I said.  Sounds familiar...

 

Fundamentally, I'm against lawfare.  But if one side thinks they can do it without paying a price, they will keep doing it.  Hopefully, this is a shot across that bow.

You are so far gone, you can't acknowledge that Russia helped Trump in the 2016 election.

 

Or that the concerns in 2020 about the laptop were really about an external drive that the intelligence community never had access to.

I don’t think he’s got much time left all, I give him 6 months after the election.

 

If he wins JD Vance will roll out the 25th Amendment, if he loses he’ll present his obvious health problems as a defense against being sent to prison.

Are there any Trumpers here who will complain if Trump uses health issues in his criminal cases?

The difference, of course, is that Vance will pull that trigger if it's called for.  The Dems?  They covered up for Biden for over 3 years.

 

To this day (and until mid January), the US has a functionally deficient president.  And it shows in the chaos around the world.

Judge Cannon in Florida has been reversed by the Appeals Court in Atlanta.

Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo TX has the distinction of being reversed by the US Supreme Court in Washington DC:

On April 21, 2023, a majority of the Supreme Court of the United States, without comment, voted to indefinitely implement an emergency stay all the restrictions against mifepristone while the lawsuit continued in the lower courts.

The court issued its unanimous decision on June 13, 2024, ruling that the Alliance lacked standing to challenge the FDA's approval or rule making. The decision reversed the Fifth Circuit ruling and lifted the injunction.
