‘Time is running short’: Letters show growing #DOJ ire at #UVA
Over 2 months this spring, *#Justice* Dept officials sent 7 letters to the #UniversityOfVirginia, alleging possible *racial* #discrimination in #admissions & #hiring, inaction to address *#antisemitism* [#FreeSpeech] on campus, & a failure to cleanse #diversity, #equity & #inclusion efforts at the institution.

The sale of #Paramount would end the Redstone family’s decades-long control of #CBS News & Paramount Pictures & put it in the hands of #DavidEllison, the son of #LarryEllison, a #tech #billionaire who has backed #Trump.
Brendan Carr, the chairman of the #FCC, has said that Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount was not linked to the FCC’s review of the company’s merger w/Skydance🙄. Paramount has also said that the 2 issues were unrelated🙄.
The size of the settlement, $16 million, is the same sum that #ABC News agreed to pay in December to settle a *defamation* case filed by #Trump against the network & one of its anchors, George Stephanopoulos. #Paramount’s board was concerned that paying a higher amount to settle the case could increase the company’s exposure to potential legal actions from shareholders accusing them of #bribery.

But #ShariRedstone, the chair & controlling shareholder of #Paramount, told her board that she favored exploring a #settlement with #Trump. Some executives at the company viewed the president’s lawsuit as a potential hurdle to completing a multibillion-dollar sale of the company to the Hollywood studio Skydance, which requires the Trump administration’s approval.

Many lawyers had dismissed #Trump’s lawsuit as baseless & believed that #CBS would have ultimately prevailed in #court, in part because the network did not report anything factually inaccurate, & the #FirstAmendment gives #publishers wide leeway to determine how to present information.

As part of the settlement, #Paramount said that it had agreed to release written transcripts of future “#60Minutes” interviews with presidential candidates. The company said that the settlement did not include an apology.
The deal is the clearest sign yet that #Trump’s ability to intimidate major American institutions extends to the #media industry.

Total crap
#Paramount to Pay #Trump $16 Million to #Settle ‘#60Minutes’ Lawsuit
Trump had ridiculously sued over an interview with former Vice President #KamalaHarris. The company needs federal approval for a multibillion-dollar sale.

Pure #authoritarianism
#Trump repeatedly threatens to violate the #FirstAmendment: says he will prosecute #CNN for its reporting on an app, he plans to prosecute the creator of the anti-ICE app, & he will prosecute CNN for its reporting about the Iran bombing.

The #Senate on Friday rejected a #Democratic measure that would have forced #Trump to go to #Congress for approval of another #military strike against #Iran [he was supposed to for the first]. The resolution had little chance of succeeding in a #Republican-controlled & Trump lick-spittle Congress.
