Donald Trump has sued the New York Times for, well, reporting on Trump. Rather than charging the Times with any specific libelous act, Trump’s lawsuit is just another of his angry bloviations. Trump sued CBS for allegedly editing an interview with Kamala Harris on 60 Minutes to make her sound more coherent. He’s likewise using his lawsuit against the New York Times to advertise his longstanding grievances with the paper. But Paramount first needed the approval of Trump’s Federal Communications Commission – which held up the sale until the defamation lawsuit was settled.
