President Trump Sues MSM Outlets For BILLIONS!


There’s little doubt that the mainstream media has been out to derail President Donald Trump’s political career since it first began nearly a decade ago.

But his most recent campaign against Kamala Harris fueled some particularly one-sided coverage by many of the most prominent news outlets.

In addition to pointing out the media bias, Trump has taken the step of filing suit against those he believes to be the most egregious offenders.

As The Guardian reported:

Addressing the New York Times, the letter accused the outlet of harboring “every intention of defaming and disparaging the world-renowned Trump brand that consumers have long associated with excellence, luxury, and success in entertainment, hospitality, and real estate, among many other industries, as well as falsely and maliciously defaming and disparaging him as a candidate for the highest office in the United States”.

In response to the letter, the newspaper referred Paltzik to Penguin Random House over its accusations about Buettner and Craig’s book and said that it stood by their reporting, a person familiar with the matter told CJR.

CJR further reports that on 5 November, lawyers for Trump’s campaign co-chief Chris LaCivita issued a letter to the Daily Beast, demanding the outlet correct its articles that stated LaCivita raised $22m to help Trump’s re-election.

In response to the letter, the Daily Beast added an editor’s note to its articles, stating: “Based on a further review of FEC records, the correct total is $19.2m. The Beast regrets the error. The article has also been updated to make clear that payments were to LaCivita’s LLC not to LaCivita personally.”

Yet, the note was insufficient to Trump’s campaign. A follow-up legal letter to the outlet said the note “does not remedy the overall messaging of the story – which depicts Mr LaCivita as deceptively pocketing campaign money for his own personal gain and that he was and is on the verge of being ‘fired’ because of it”.

“This entire narrative is completely false and a result of malicious and irresponsible reporting by the Daily Beast,” the letter added.

Media bias has been a consistent topic of social media discussion throughout Trump’s years in the political realm:

And his recent round of lawsuits stems from a “60 Minutes” interview with Harris.

As CBS itself reported:

Former President Donald Trump has sued CBS News, alleging the network’s “deceitful” editing of a recent 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Kamala Harris misled the public and unfairly disadvantaged him.

In a statement released Thursday, CBS News called the former president’s claims “completely without merit” and said the network intended to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.

Here’s some additional coverage of the media’s anti-Trump bias:
