Rosie O'Donnell accuses CBS of settling Trump's lawsuit as a bribe, undermining media independence.Summary
Rosie O'Donnell criticized CBS for settling a $16 million lawsuit with Donald Trump, labeling it a 'bribe' that compromised an independent press. She argued the settlement, which covered legal costs and contributions to Trump's library or charity without an apology, reflected a lack of media accountability. O'Donnell echoed Stephen Colbert's prior criticism, noting the deal undermined journalistic independence. The settlement resolved Trump's lawsuit over CBS's editing of a Kamala Harris interview, which Trump claimed benefited her politically. While CBS framed the agreement as a financial decision unrelated to content, O'Donnell and Colbert framed it as a threat to press freedom.
