Of CBS And Paramount

Scott Pelley said that a settlement of Donald Trump’s lawsuit would be “very damaging” to the reputation CBS and Paramount, while the 60 Minutes correspondent also defended a recent commencement speech where he warned of the threats to freedom of speech.

Appearing on CNN’s post show following the live telecast of Good Night, And Good Luck, Pelley sat down down fellow 60 Minutes correspondent and CNN anchor Anderson Cooper.

“If there is a settlement, and as part of a settlement, there’s an apology, how damaging is that to CBS?”

“It will be very damaging to CBS, to Paramount, to the reputation of those companies,” Pelley said. “I think many of the law firms that made deals with the White House are at this very moment regretting it. That doesn’t look like their finest hour.”

1. Absolutely. It would negate any credibility as a news organization.

2. They just figured that out now?

They need to hold the line. Trump is intentionally trying to keep them off balance. That's a strategy which he seems to be good at. And, sadly, the top guns in the corporation treat it likes it's a business decision to buckle. That just opens the door for more abuse from Trump, and a slew of unintended consequences from the public.
