Sen. Bernie Sanders ramped up criticism of Shari Redstone, Paramount Global's controlling shareholder, following the resignation of CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon. McMahon's departure came amid Paramount's potential settlement of Donald Trump's lawsuit against CBS, which claims deceptive editing of a '60 Minutes' interview. Sanders urged Redstone not to give in to Trumpâs claims, which First Amendment organizations have dismissed. This criticism coincides with broader industry skepticism about Paramount's shift away from resisting Trump's legal challenges.
I say to Shari Redstone: Enough is enough. Do not capitulate to Trump's attack on a free press. Do not settle Trump's bogus lawsuit against 60 Minutes.
The past few months have been challenging. It's become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward.
