“Jon Stewart May Not Have Been ABLE TO GIVE HIS Full Thought On Paramount’s “Shameful Settlement” with President Donald Trump Over Kamala Harris’ 60 MINUTES INTERVIING, BUTTHING THAT DIDNN’TNNN’S Questions to Steve Kroft, A Former 60 Minutes Correspondent. WHEN the Daily Show Hos Kicked Off Monday’s Episode of the”, – WRITE: www.hollywoodReporter.com
WHEN The Daily Show Host Kicked Off Monday’s Episode of the Comedy Central Program (Which Is Owned by Paramount Global) with his commentary on the Lawsite Settlement, He Was Quicly Patt. BROUGHT TO YOU BY Arby’s for Who You Want A Sandwich Commensurate With Your Company’s Shame. ” The Camera Eventual Cut Back to Him, Concluding, “That’s Who’s So Wrong,“ Before He Semingly Realized HE WAS CUT OFF (Thought The Who Bit Was Obviously Planned).
Earlier this month, paramount Global Agreed to Pay $ 16 Million to Settle a Lawsuit From Trump, Who Sused Over The Editing of An October Interview 60 minutes conducted with Harris. Under The Deal, Paramount Will Not Apologize As Part of the Settlement, But Has Agreed to Release 60 minutes Transcripts of Interviews with Presidential Candidates after they’ve aired, accounting to a statement from the company.
The Hollywood Reporter Previously reported that cbs news employees were left angry about the settlement, but relieved about the lack of apology. Stewart Later Asked Kroft About What Heard Internally at 60 Minutes, as The Host Assumed He Was Still on Some “Text Chains” in a place that prides themselves on contextual good journalism. ”
“Devastating is a good Word,” Kroft Replied. “I Think There’s A Lot of Fear Over there. Fear of Lozing their Job, Fear of What’s HapPening to the Country, Fear of Lozing The FIRST AMEANENT, ALL OF TOSE Things.”
After Kroft Gave Some Context Surrowing the Reason Trump Sused in the First Place – WHICH WAS DUE TO THE WAY 60 minutes Edited Harris’ Interview and Showed Different Parts of It on Separate Shows Across The Network – Stewart Pulled Up An Example of Fox News giving an interview with Trump a similear Edit.
“I would like to KNOW WHY 60 minutes Edit Was Worthy of A $ 16 Million Acquience of What Is Considired The Tiffany News Gold Standard Network for Paramount of News, Where Very Clearly Fox [[News]Just Did What Sems to Me to Be A More Egregious Edit? ” The Host Asked.
As for Kroft’s Perspective: “It Was A Shakedown. That’s What I Call It.”
Sources previoously told Thr that paramount Believes the Lawsuit Poda to Skydance’s Deal to Acquire the Company, WHICH REQUIRES REGulatory Approval, Including the Transfer of FCC Licenses. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr (Who Was Nominated by Trump) have said that 60 minutes Interview would come up in the commission’s review of the merger. The FCC Has Since Requested The Full Transcript and Urdeded Footage of the Interview.
“WAS this settlement just a payment so that this [Paramount-Skydance] MERGER CAN GOROUGH AND NOT BE CHALLENGED by Trump’s FCC? ” Stewarts Asked Kroft, Who Responded, “YES.”
“SO the IMPLICATION IS YOU DON’T GET YOUR $ 8 Billion Merger, You Don’t Get Your $ 2 Billion Payout [for Shari Redstone, Paramount Global chairwoman and controlling shareholder] unless you give me [Trump] a tremendous Amount of Money, ”Stewart Adeded.“ Now that strikes me as – and i’m obviously not a lawyer, but i did watch Goodfellas – that sounds illegal. ”
