CBS Pays Trump $16M for Deceptive Kamala Edit

In a stunning development, CBS and its parent company Paramount have agreed to pay President Donald Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit over an edited 60 Minutes interview with then–Vice President Kamala Harris—an edit many now say was election interference disguised as journalism.

The lawsuit stemmed from a 2024 segment that aired a “cleaned-up” version of Harris’s answer about Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, omitting the original rambling response previewed earlier. Trump’s legal team called it manipulation. Federal investigators and the FCC agreed enough to push CBS into releasing the full, unedited transcript—revealing the selective editing and leading to the massive payout.

But this wasn’t just about money. The settlement includes the new “Trump Rule,” requiring CBS to release unedited interview transcripts of all presidential candidates going forward. That’s a massive step toward transparency—forced not by regulators, but by private legal action.

Is this what it takes now to hold media accountable?
And how much truth have we already missed—sliced out by editors with an agenda?

If justice can be bought, at least this time, it was bought for the public good.
