Paramount is running scared from Donald Trump -- senior executives want to
pay off Trump to drop a frivolous lawsuit. But if they cave, it’ll
embolden Trump to sue media companies every time they criticize him.

John,

Spineless executives at Paramount are about to pay Trump millions of
dollars so he’ll drop a baseless lawsuit against its subsidiary, CBS News.

Trump is suing because he didn’t like a Kamala Harris interview CBS ran.
Yes, you read that right -- Trump’s suing them because he didn’t like an
interview, not because they’ve broken any laws.

This is how dictators work -- silencing the free and independent press.
But Trump will only get away with it if the media lets him.

That’s why we're coming together to demand that Paramount executives don’t
cave to Trump’s bullying. If we make a huge public stink, we can put the
media spotlight on this dodgy deal and force Paramount to rethink. Sign
the petition:

Paramount leaders are already on the back foot - they know that paying off
Trump could be considered a bribe in the eyes of the law, opening the
company up to criminal and civil charges.

Trump is suing media outlets left, right, and center if they dare
criticize him. And each time, cowardly media execs are giving in.

ABC News paid $15 million after Trump launched a defamation lawsuit over a
news anchor branding him as a rapist, even though a jury found Trump
[ [link removed] ]liable for sexual assault. And MAGA suck-up Mark Zuckerberg paid Trump
$25 million to make a lawsuit launched by Trump go away. 

Unless someone draws a line in the sand, Trump will keep doing this, and
soon free and independent media will be history. We can’t let that
happen. 

Californian lawmakers are already waking up to the fact that the US is
sliding down a slippery slope of media censorship, harassment and
intimidation, and have summoned Paramount to the State assembly to explain
themselves. And free press advocates are threatening to sue Paramount if
they go ahead with the settlement. 

[ [link removed] ]Let’s pile on the pressure now and demand Paramount resist Trump's
blackmail.

Thanks for all that you do,
