Trump Puts The Media On Notice

President Trump is racking up major victories—not at the ballot box this time, but in the courtroom. And the mainstream media is paying the price—literally.

In a stunning series of legal wins, President Trump has forced two of America’s biggest news networks—ABC and CBS—to settle for millions over what he calls “years of lies and defamation” aimed at misleading the public and damaging his reputation.

🚨 $36 Million in Total Settlements – and Counting

On Tuesday, Trump took to Truth Social to announce the latest victory, writing:

“Much like what happened with ABC and George Stephanopoulos, CBS and its corporate leadership knew they had misled the American public—and couldn’t wait to cut a deal. This marks yet another major victory against the dishonest media, who are finally being held responsible for their lies and deception.”

According to Trump, Paramount, the parent company of CBS, agreed to pay $16 million and is expected to fork over $20 million more through in-kind value—such as advertising time and public service announcements—as part of its merger with Skydance. That brings the total package to over $36 million.

🔸 “We are winning. And the days of Fake News deceiving the American people are over,” Trump declared.

📺 ABC Also Paid Big to Make Trump Lawsuit Go Away

This isn’t Trump’s first triumph over the media. In December, ABC paid over $15 million to settle a defamation suit stemming from a hostile segment aired on “This Week”, hosted by longtime Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos.

ABC chose to settle rather than fight in court—a move many legal analysts say signals they knew they were in the wrong.

🎭 Stephen Colbert Canceled – Coincidence? Not Likely.

Shortly after the CBS settlement, the network abruptly canceled “The Late Show” and cut ties with far-left comedian Stephen Colbert. While CBS claimed it was a “financial decision,” insiders believe it was part of a broader shake-up driven by the Trump payout.

Even Colbert himself seemed to suggest as much, joking that Paramount had given Trump “a big fat bribe.” Fellow liberal comedian Jon Stewart—now hosting The Daily Show—has hinted his future with the network may also be uncertain.

🔥 Mainstream Media Now ‘On Notice’

President Trump didn’t stop at CBS and ABC. He sent a warning shot to the entire liberal media establishment:

“The Wall Street Journal, The Failing New York Times, The Washington Post, MSDNC, CNN—they’re all ON NOTICE. The American People will no longer tolerate their lies.”

✅ What This Means for 2024 and Beyond

With 2024 around the corner, Trump’s legal and media victories are energizing his base and reinforcing the perception that he’s the only one willing—and able—to stand up to the corrupt media machine.

These settlements are not just legal wins—they’re symbolic victories for millions of Americans who have long believed that corporate news outlets have operated with zero accountability.
