    So CBS is likely going to settle a lawsuit filed by Trump because they need approval for a merger and that approval comes from an agency overseen by Trump.

    By any reasonable standard, that’s extortion, and a crime.

    We live in such a foul and loathsome timeline.

        More broadly, it’s how civilizations die.

        Essentially, all of the scumbags are coming out of the woodwork to loot the civilization - getting theirs while the getting is good.

        It’s all downhill from here.

    Why are these media companies caving on clear 1st amendment violations? This should be a slam dunk to win in court. Any actions taken by the Trump administration in retaliation to things he doesn’t like, are illegal and need to be challenged. If they aren’t, then you are hammering one more nail in this county’s coffin.
