John Dickerson ended Wednesday’s broadcast of CBS Evening News by subtly swiping at the network’s corporate boss Paramount for shelling out $16 million to settle Donald Trump’s lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview, noting that the company itself said the president’s case “is without basis in law and fact.”
The veteran anchor’s commentary was even more pointed on the show he hosts for the network’s streaming platform, as he noted that the settlement “poses a new obstacle” for the network’s journalists.
