It's interesting how much the GOP's "OMG media bias" rhetoric and lawsuits, was in the end "We want to use the federal government to impose our bias.".

> especially since CBS had *accurately* described Trump's claims as "completely without merit."

Apparently the court felt differently if it didn't dismiss the case. The statement above is opinion, not fact as written.

Personally, I'm more opposed to further media consolidation as it stands. The current status quo is already leading to too few, excessively large media conglomerates. Without access to communications between the FCC and Skydance/Paramount, it's impossible to say what was or was not communicated or implied. Making the entire story a biased speculation, "completely without merit."
