Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

CBS realized if they gave in, Trump had no plans of stopping attacks whatsoever. So if you're gonna get attacked anyways, you might as well fight back .
This is the way
Yeah, this is the only logical move they have. Good to see someone still has ethical brains in business these days.
I hope everyone dealing with him recognizes this and stops trying to deal with him
No no, don't worry. They're still going to work for him and do his bidding, they're just not going to be bullied into paying him $20billion over a factually imaginary grievance. They'll get the case thrown and then issue a public apology for having to defend themselves and then immediately hardline into defending the administration. Tale as old as time.
This is of course assuming the admin doesn't simply revoke their broadcast license before they get the chance to bend back over.
Corporations and their owners thought that Trump would boost the stock market through tax cuts. Instead the market is tanking due to his moronic tariffs and Russia-appeasement strategy. Now that it’s clear he won’t be making them money they have rediscovered their “morals”.
I hope this is true. I've always hoped that the one think that might save us is MAGA's virtuosic incompetence.
Maybe this time.
The policies of the Nazi party took a while to fully implement. Even after the Enabling Act, it took a while before anyone felt it. With each dumb policy, fascists need to double down on blaming outside actors. They have to do this, because this is the only way they can cover for their failures.
The problem this time is they are implementing three years of policy changes per week. It happened too fast, and their attempts to blame others aren't taking root.
More generally, people should be more aware of how things are different in this regime compared to 1930s Germany. The comparison is obvious, but we'll miss opportunities if we think everything is the same.
Yeah, I recently read a Guardian article about how the crackdown on non-violent protestors in the UK is leading climate activists to a little more, uh, active forms of protest. If you're going to jail for five years anyway, you might as well make it count.
The can't legally make allowing the merger to be a conditionon a settlement agreement. So there'd be nothing to keep his petty ass from stopping it either way.
They're greedy and would do anything for the merger, but Trump doesn't honor his deals.
I'm sure it works the same way with the mafia. I doubt companies that pay extortion to the mafia only do a one-time payment.
What makes you think this is not going to be a recurring thing if they settle this one?
That's exactly my point. Bending over and taking it is not going to do them any favors, since little d will be back at it anyway.
