Paramount’s $16M settlement—plus $20M in ad “value”—isn’t accountability. It’s a corporate shakedown. CBS folded to avoid merger delays with Skydance, proving media giants prioritize profits over principle. The real issue? Networks weaponize “news” as partisan tools, then pay settlements when caught.

This isn’t a win for truth—it’s a symptom of systemic rot. When media companies fund political figures to dodge scrutiny, taxpayers lose.

The FCC should block this merger until Paramount proves it’s not bribing regulators.

See how the money trail exposes the real priorities behind the Paramount-Skydance deal:
