#Legal experts have dismissed that suit as baseless & far-fetched [ya don’t say], & #BillOwens said in Feb that he would not apologize as part of any prospective settlement.

She has expressed a desire to settle Trump’s case, which stems from what Trump has called a deceptively edited interview in October with VP #KamalaHarris that aired on “#60Minutes” [total fucking bullshit lies].

Thanks to #Trump, #Keynesian #economic #theory is reaching its end. But, it's not going back to #Austrian economics, despite being what Trump campaigned on.
His actions are purely Keynesian, with #government involving itself in the #economy and picking winners and losers, more now than ever before.

In an extraordinary declaration, #BillOwens —only the 3rd person to run the program in its 57-year history—told his staff in a memo that “over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make #independent decisions based on what was right for ‘#60Minutes,’ right for the audience.”
#CBSNews entered a new period of turmoil on Tuesday after the executive producer of “#60Minutes,” #BillOwens, said that he would resign from the long-running Sunday news program because he had lost his #JournalisticIndependence.

@hassmeister Widerlich an #Trump ist sein proletenhaftes und arrogantes Verspotten von Menschen wie in diesem Fall! Aber wehe, jemand kritisiert ihn einmal (sachlich), dann ist es Beleidigung.
Wie konnte der Vatikan einen solch üblen, arroganten Gast bei der Bestattung des Papstes zulassen. Wenn Trump etwas überhaupt nicht hat, dann sind es christliche Tugenden. Empathie und Respekt kennt er nicht, er ist ein Heuchler und Satan.
