RUSH EXCERPT:

HILLYARD: “And that is why you saw settlements of other news organizations in the past, ABC and CBS, because it’s an easier route. Litigation costs a lot of money. And to move forward with subpoenas to defend. As a news organization, it takes big money, and it takes a corporation that is willing to defend the journalism and its journalists. And that is not a given here in the year of 2026. And that is why I’D be lying to say that there is not conversations that takes place between journalists from different news organizations. When you’re talking about CNN, a major announcement here in the last 24 hours that at least until next June, that Paramount would not be moving forward with its attempted merger, which is big news, because that hits at the heart of what their CEO has called for in terms of that independent editorial judgment that a newsroom is effectively able to make separate from their corporation."
