To the editor: No one will resist this tyrant (“Paramount inches towards the $ 20 billion trial of Trump” 60 minutes “,” April 29)? The punishment goes to networks that seem to the play journalists responsible that President Trump does not like; Law firms which have, in the past, represented customers with whom he does not agree; Universities wishing to continue vital research but have the audacity to hire minorities and highly qualified immigrants; The list is growing again and again.
Someone has to face this tyrant. If Paramount refuses to settle down, he could lose his merger because of a vindictive president, but even Shari Redstone, the non -executive president of Paramount, should concede that the management of a media company in a democracy would be better than under totalitarian domination.

To the publisher: The show of CBS News crawling in Trump about a totally frivolous trial on its modification of an interview with Kamala Harris is simply revolting. Just so that Redstone can sell the company to the Ellison family for billions of dollars that she does not need, she ransacked the journalistic integrity of one of the most respected press organizations in the history of the dissemination and the opening of a legal preceding which can have an impact on all journalism nationally.
Is it the news of CBS that delighted the nation with the broadcasts “This is London” by Edward R. Murrow in 1940? Is it the news of CBS that brought the factual broadcast of Walter Cronkite from Vietnam after the disaster of the TET offensive?
No, this is the news of CBS that is sold to the most offering and destroying itself in the process.
