60 Minutes offended Trump for an edited interview with Kamala Harris to
show her in a less unfavorable light. In a baseless lawsuit, Trump sued
CBS for $20 billion lawsuit. The Redstone family, which privately holds
the Viacom holding company (whatever it's called this week), wants to
sell out to Skydance, owned by the son of Larry Ellison. The media has
been speculating that the Redstones are sucking up to Trump like
everybody else so that the federal government won't regulate the merger
to death.
 The lawsuit has been neither dismissed nor settled.
 Bill Owens claims he's under too much corporate pressure to produce 60
Minutes independently. He has resigned.
 I never bothered to track down the interview but if he did what he's
accused of, I'm not seeing that he was behaving like an unbiasted
journalist.

It was yet more (successful) bullshit by Trump.
This Megyn Kelly clip leads with the "dishonest" video:
