Trump sues CBS for $10 billion

 The Federalist Wire:

...

Former President Donald Trump launched a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS on Thursday, targeting the network’s handling of an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump’s legal team contends that the interview, aired as part of CBS’s “60 Minutes” program, was “deceptively” edited to favor Harris and undermine Trump’s 2024 campaign.

The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of Texas, alleges that CBS misled voters by broadcasting two different answers from Harris regarding the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

According to the filing, the network aired Harris’s initial, less direct response during a “Face the Nation” preview on October 6, only to air a more polished statement during the full interview the next day.

In the preview, Harris commented, “Well, Bill … the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.”

The full “60 Minutes” interview, however, presented a different statement from Harris: “We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”

This shift, Trump’s team argues, was calculated to improve Harris’s image by providing clarity her earlier answer allegedly lacked.

Trump’s attorneys claim that CBS’s editorial choices were politically motivated and amounted to “malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion.”

They argue the editing was designed to “confuse, deceive, and mislead the public,” framing Harris more favorably while damaging Trump’s standing with voters just before Election Day.
...

CBS has been accused of a liberal basis before.  Cleaning up Harris's statement appears unethical.  Harris has often been accused of "word salad" and in this case, CBS seems to be helping her edit her remarks.

The US should be supporting Israel and not making excuses for the terrorists or trying to save them from a war they started.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
