Paramount Global has paid President Donald Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit over a '60 Minutes' interview, with Trump claiming he will receive an additional $20 million in advertising and public service announcements from the network's new owners. The settlement has sparked outrage among media figures like Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, who accuse Paramount of capitulating to Trump and undermining journalistic integrity. The abrupt cancellation of 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' shortly after the settlement has fueled speculation that the move was made to appease Trump, prompting calls from the Writers Guild of America and lawmakers for investigations into possible bribery or secret deals. Paramount and its incoming owner, Skydance Media, deny any side agreements, but the controversy has raised concerns about media independence and the influence of political pressure on news organizations. The situation highlights growing tensions between the press, corporate interests, and political power in the U.S.
