#ShariRedstone, the company’s controlling #shareholder, has said she favors settling the case. She is set to receive a major #payday in a pending #sale of Paramount to a Hollywood studio, #Skydance, that requires sign-off from the #Trump admin. Any settlement would ultimately require the board’s approval, & Redstone has told the board that she is *recusing* herself from deliberations related to the lawsuit.

#Legal experts have called the suit baseless & an easy victory for #CBS. But #Paramount is entering the talks prepared to make a deal.
In an April 18 meeting, the Paramount board outlined acceptable financial terms for a potential settlement w/ #Trump, acc/to 3 people…. The exact dollar amounts remain unclear, but the board’s move clears a path for an out-of-court resolution.

2/2 "Bill Owens gave a dire warning about Trump’s control over the network and his fear that #CBS and #Paramount were likely gearing up to reach a settlement with #Trump on his ridiculous lawsuit. The fact that #BillOwens could no longer work at #60Minutes tells you just how bad it is now at CBS. No wonder news networks aren’t showing the mass protests, the town halls, and the shadow hearings."

"The longtime head of CBS’ #60Minutes resigned Tuesday, as the network’s parent company contemplates a settlement with President Trump over his lawsuit focusing on an interview the show did with then-VP Kamala Harris last fall.
In an emotionally charged meeting Tuesday afternoon, and again in a note to staff released publicly shortly after, the show’s executive producer, #BillOwens said he was departing after 37 years with CBS News [...]'

In his memo on Tues, #BillOwens pledged that “‘#60Minutes’ will continue to cover the new #Trump admin, as we will report on future administrations” [though seriously? Ge cannot guarantee that if he isn’t there]. He added: “The show is too important to the country. It has to continue, just not with me as the executive producer.”

#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. Many #journalists at #CBSNews — the former home of #WalterCronkite & #MikeWallace — believe that a settlement would amount to a #capitulation to #Trump over what they consider standard-issue gripes about editorial judgment.

“So, having defended this show—& what we stand for—from every angle, over time with everything I could, I am stepping aside so the show can move forward,” #BillOwens wrote in the memo, which was obtained by NYT.
“#60Minutes” has faced mounting pressure in recent months from both #Trump, who sued #CBS for $10B & has accused the program of “unlawful & illegal behavior,” & its own #corporate owner at #Paramount, the parent company of #CBSNews.

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.”
