CBS Forced To Pay Up, Trump Lawsuit Ends In Massive Settlement

It's a bribe
The claim that CBS’s damage payment to Donald Trump was a bribe is not only unfounded, it’s legally and logically incoherent. A damage payment, especially in the context of a legal settlement or court order, is not a bribe. It’s the resolution of a legal dispute, often to avoid the cost, risk, and publicity of prolonged litigation. CBS paid Trump because it was determined they owed damages, not because they were trying to buy influence or favor. A bribe involves an illegal or unethical offer made to influence someone's actions in power. Trump, as a private party in this case, held no governmental authority to be influenced at the time. Moreover, courts typically scrutinize settlement agreements carefully, especially in high-profile cases, to ensure no impropriety is involved.

We’re truly fortunate that 1174's outlandish views are confined to the cramped little studio of his mind, a place where logic gets evicted and self-awareness pays no rent.
It was a bribe.

Which is why the merger was approved after they paid it.

But please, perform for your friends.
 
I do not expect The Wall Street Journal to cringe before Trump's ten billion dollars lawsuit. I do think it is foolish for Trump to attack a rich and powerful medium on the right.
