CBS paid $16 million to settle a Trump lawsuit after threats of license revocation and FCC investigations. The FCC’s approval of a CBS parent merger may have been swayed by expectations of a more Trump-friendly newsroom—raising alarms about media freedom and the future of public interest regulation.
