Paramount Rushmore

“President Donald Trump bitterly attacked ’60 Minutes’ shortly after the CBS newsmagazine broadcast stories on Ukraine and Greenland on Sunday, saying the network was out of control and should ‘pay a big price‘ for going after him.” The big question here is not how 60 Minutes will respond. They’ll keep reporting. The big question is how CBS owner Paramount will respond. The same goes for the big corporate owners of other major media brands. They have big dollars at stake and their news orgs are a rounding error.

+ Meanwhile, Trump reminded Americans of his view on the invasion of Ukraine: “You have millions of people dead. Millions of people dead because of three people. … Let’s say Putin number one, but let’s say Biden, who had no idea what the hell he was doing, number two, and Zelensky. And all I can do is try and stop it.”

+ Days after more talks with Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, Putin launched a deadly missile attack that resulted in many civilian deaths. I suppose this was partly Biden and Zelensky’s fault too?
