CBS could just refuse to cover any Trump events due to “ongoing litigation” initiated by the scamdidate and invite NBC and ABC to join.

They make too much money

That's a really weird thing to do.

"The complaint, filed in federal court in the Northern District of Texas, alleges the network aired two different responses from Harris responding to a question about the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The version that aired during the "60 Minutes" program on Oct. 6 did not include what the lawsuit calls a "word salad" response from Harris about the Biden administration's influence on Israel's conduct of the war."

No, he just made even more headlines. The more headlines he makes, the more votes he gets.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

That's not how anything works.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

You remember 2016? This is exactly how that year went. All these headlines while Trump’s polling numbers are completely unaffected. It’s 2016 all over again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I wish you were right. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of idiot voters out there who just fill in the box next to the name they hear more.

I would like some evidence to support this please. Especially this close to an election.

I can tell you from personal experience that it sure as fuck didn't work for Meg Whitman.

Is that the thinking? Like a child in the back of class, desperate for attention and confused about why other people don't want to just be obnoxiously loud.

No, folks don't see any headline and think "that's how I will vote." This is the mental ability of an infant who just got object permanence.

Oh sweet summer child. Let me tell you about the fall of 2016…….

2.5 decillion

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

$10 billion in damages

lolwut

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

And Russia just fined Google some ridiculously large number. Coincidence? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

$20 decillion

That’s: $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Or 20 with 33 zeros after it. Or 20 trillion trillion trillion dollars.

The GDP of planet Earth is estimated at $100 trillion a year…

I'm pretty sure that's 20 Decillion rubles, which is like $97.25 in spendable money.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 hours ago

Seriously. He was not even close to being worth that much before the interview.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Such a whiny fucking baby.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 minutes ago

If I dare bring a version of a reddit trend here: Trump is a little piss baby.

Obligatory: Greg Abbot is a little piss baby.

The version that aired during the "60 Minutes" program on Oct. 6 did not include what the lawsuit calls a "word salad" response from Harris about the Biden administration's influence on Israel's conduct of the war.

Well, Trump is the leading authority in the field of word salad.

"The version that aired during the '60 Minutes' program on Oct. 6 did not include what the lawsuit calls a 'word salad' response from Harris about the Biden administration's influence on Israel's conduct of the war."

I'd imagine Kamala's worst word salad is better than Trump's most eloquent statement.

Dip shit crybaby.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 hours ago

The suit demanded a jury trial and about $10 billion in damages

Taking notes from Pootin, I see.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 hours ago

of course texas 'sticks and stones may break my bones but words will always hurt me' law. crybabies

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

Setting aside Trump himself, I really hope that this sort of stuff doesn't become normalized in political campaigning.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Checks group, wait this isn't The Oniion?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

I feel like that means there's something litigation worthy between Trump and some "news" network....

Then again it's probably all of them.
