RT by @GregTSargent: CBS is being too defensive. Perhaps news orgs should state unabashedly that they're not in the business of amplifying Trump officials’ lies, and any official who feels entitled to that can stuff it. No need to get bullied by this sleazy scam anymore.

RT by @GregTSargent: CBS is under zero obligation to air lies/unsubstantiated charges from Trump officials. Also note that when Trump extorted CBS for $16 million, he used *precisely this same tactic,* i.e. bogus claims of deceptive editing. Settlement only encouraged them.
