President Donald Trump’s fixation on the CBS programming lineup continued when he took aim at Gayle King, claiming he believed the tenured journalist should have “stayed with her belief in TRUMP.” Now, King has finally responded to the president in a very measured and calm way.
Trump took to Truth Social, where he linked a New York Post article alleging CBS has a left-wing bias. He suggested that, with CBS’s parent company Paramount under new ownership, there’s a strong possibility that King’s morning show might be cancelled. There’s precedent for this belief, considering the new owners of Paramount have already shown — through the lawsuit payout — that they’re more than willing to appease Trump if that’s what it takes to protect their business.
