CBS's Turmoil: A Company on the Edge
In recent weeks, CBS has found itself in the eye of a media storm, facing monumental challenges from both external and internal pressures. At the forefront is a staggering $15 billion lawsuit filed by former President Donald Trump, stemming from a controversial interview with Vice President Kamala Harris aired on "60 Minutes." The network is also under investigation by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), further complicating matters as CBS attempts to navigate potential sale negotiations with Sky Dan. With the combined weight of these issues, CBS appears to be reaching for its playbook—one that includes doubling down on its controversial storytelling tactics, especially with regard to freedom of speech.
