Greg Gutfeld and his panel did what real Americans expect from conservative media: they called out a rigged system and applauded a leader who refuses to be gaslit by the so-called “mainstream” press. Watching the clip, you can feel the relief of millions who’ve watched the media weaponize their platforms for years; Gutfeld’s blunt assessment — that Trump “has all the power” to expose these games — landed like a truth bomb in a culture that pretends objectivity while clearly picking sides.
Last fall President Trump filed a high-profile lawsuit accusing CBS’s 60 Minutes of deceptively editing its October interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, alleging the network manipulated footage to benefit his political opponent and seeking massive damages in a Texas federal court. The complaint, filed in late October 2024, argued that different edits of the same answer misled viewers and amounted to voter interference, a novel legal theory that forced a public reckoning over how journalism is practiced in elite newsrooms.
This month the parent company of CBS, Paramount Global, quietly cut a deal — agreeing to pay $16 million to settle the dispute and funnel the funds toward Mr. Trump’s future presidential library, while making no admission of wrongdoing. Corporate America chose the predictable path: pay to make the problem go away, preserve a merger timetable, and hope the outrage dies down — a decision that conservatives correctly see as evidence that power and will, not impartial law, still drive outcomes in media disputes.
The fallout inside CBS was immediate and revealing: respected producers and top executives pushed back, some resignations followed, and 60 Minutes correspondents publicly protested the settlement as a betrayal of journalistic independence. As part of the agreement, the program will now release full transcripts of presidential interviews — a modest reform that conservatives should celebrate because transparency is the antidote to elite spin, even if it came only after relentless pressure.
Don’t be fooled by the hand-wringing from the left about “threats to press freedom.” The real story is about accountability. The FCC’s involvement and the looming Skydance merger made a messy legal battle a clear corporate risk, and Paramount picked the bottom-line solution; the lesson for anyone who still trusts the legacy media is simple — complain loudly, demand answers, and watch how quickly the suits in glass towers choose their balance sheet over principle.
Gutfeld’s tone was exactly right: fierce, proud, and unafraid to name names. Conservatives have spent years watching elites twist narratives, and it’s vindicating to see a major media company forced into a concession. Whether you love the man or not, the practical reality is this president used every tool at his disposal to make a point — and in the end the corporation blinked.
If you’re a hardworking American who’s tired of being spoken down to by coastal gatekeepers, this should feel like a win. Hold the media to account, demand transparency, and keep pressure on the institutions that think they’re above scrutiny — that’s how a republic survives, and that’s what Gutfeld and fellow conservatives are courageously telling the country to do.
