It's unclear if that was part of any formal deal.

I'm starting to think that Paramount. Like every entity Mr Trump has touched, really just wants to get through the next 3.5 years without ageing too much nor going bankrupt.

TV doesn't do much actual news, now, what with the pursuit of cheap eyeballs and ratings, so I can predict they'll do whatever the hell Mr Trump wants just to be done with him , like every divorce litigant ever: "just tell me what has to happen for you to go away."

But I'd LOVE to see them stipulate either X 30-min spots are the entirety of the settlement .... or CBS gets to put out a completely alt-factual spot read completely seriously by an anchor who looks like the joker and another guy in a cheesy horse mascot costume.

Paramount is the worst fucking company. I wish only the worst for them.

CBS Morning News, owned by Paramount, did everything they could to get Traitorapist Trump elected. Every single day they showed a clip of Pedo Trump's propaganda, and either didn't show Harris at all or showed her after Trump. I completely stopped watching their show the day after the election.

I can already hear Colbert’s monologue not taking it seriously.
