Members janea4old Posted 6 hours ago Members Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) I didn't know whether to post this in "Politics", "Discuss the Soaps", or "CBS/Paramount Primetime", because it fits all three categories. Although this is politically-motivated, this directly affects Paramount, and the fallout could possibly affect CBS programming if the Paramount merger falls through. The issue is that Paramount is trying to merge with Skydance, but Trump was upset about how the CBS News show "60 Minutes" aired its interview of Kamala Harris, and Trump sued CBS about that. Trump is trying to hold the merger hostage, unless CBS pays him ten billion dollars. Trump claimed that CBS unfairly edited the Kamala Harris interview before broadcasting it. Since that time, CBS released the transcrips and raw UNEDITED video of the Kamala Harris interview publicly, so I don't know why this lawsuit persists. https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/cbs-agrees-to-hand-over-60-minutes-harris-interview-transcripts-to-fcc/ Updated details in this L.A. Times article https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2025-02-05/fcc-releases-unedited-cbs-60-minutes-interview-the-subject-of-fcc-complaint Archived nonpaywall copy of LA Times article: https://archive.is/x3xlu Original 60 minutes interview (20 minutes) as it aired in October 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJys7OVH24E Full Harris unedited Harris/CBS video (57 minutes) is up on FCC youtube as of Feb. 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEu8hSGDKJA Transcript of unedited video: https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/Transcript-Transcribed-Unedited-Interview-Footage-6-of-14.pdf Version 2 of unedited Harris/CBS video on FCC youtube as of Feb. 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO_pai9kwZc "60 Minutes" put the unedited version on its youtube, as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrGyL57833U CBS news has its own article here from Feb. 5 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-publishes-transcripts-video-requested-by-fcc/ in that article, CBS links to three full-length transcripts of their interviews with Kamala Harris. They are: The full transcript of the interview with the vice president at her residence; The full transcript of the "walk and talk" with the vice president; and The full transcript of the interview with former Congresswoman Liz Cheney and Vice President Harris. videos corresponding to these interviews: Interview with the vice president at her residence "Walk and talk" with the vice president Interview with Cheney and Harris In addition, at that link, CBS provides all transcripts provided to the FCC, many of which are duplicates that reflect audio from additional camera angles. Despite it all being released, and it being clear that nothing significant was edited out, Trump is still suing CBS and the Paramount/Skydance merger is still being threatened. Thus the Paramount executives caving to Trump's anti-DEI agenda on Feb. 26. Edited 6 hours ago by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
