Oct 2 (Reuters) - The White House is in talks with CBS News program "60 Minutes" about conducting an interview with U.S. President Donald Trump, Semafor reported on Thursday, citing four people with knowledge of the discussions. Reuters could not immediately verify the Semafor report.

News of the possible interview comes after media reports that CBS-parent Paramount Skydance (PSKY.O) will soon announce its takeover of center-right online news outlet, The Free Press, and hire its co-founder, Bari Weiss, as editor-in-chief of CBS News.

Paramount in July agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit filed by Trump over his claim that CBS deceptively edited a "60 Minutes" interview with his Democratic presidential opponent Kamala Harris last year.

Earlier this year, former "60 Minutes" executive producer Bill Owens resigned, citing concerns over editorial independence. CBS News president Wendy McMahon later stepped down, saying she and the company had differing views on the path forward.

9. At least Dr. Pimple Popper improves peoples' lives.

That's a damn sight better than what Paramount and Bari Weiss are doing.

As if trump is entitled to any additional fawning national media coverage.

[Aviation Pro]

3. CBS should hire Kareem Abdul Jabbar

To conduct the interview so the child rapist would have to look up at all times.

[kacekwl]

12. I hope CBS is putting his bribe money

aside now so when he sues them for not editing out the point where he shits himself as fake news AI. They should just pay him now and let him have the network.

[Escape]

13. 60 Minutes of...

ignorant, boastful, idiotic, fanciful lies.

There will be no "interview". Trump will ignore every question and blather on about false accomplishments and imaginary events. If the host dares to put pressure on him with facts, logic or truth, he will attack and insult them personally and change the subject.

60 Minutes will kowtow to all of this.

[Harker]

14. Tick tick tick tick...

Blather, rinse, repeat.

[lark]

15. No, No, No, No, No, please no!!

Please stop the madness of dementia don being hailed as a "true leader" and letting him yell out his nation destroying lies.

[CapnSteve]

16. Nope. Unless...

....it is 100% about Epstein, Maxwell, and how Trump publicly and with Stormy Daniels fantasized about sex with his daughter.

[3825-87867]

19. SO, when he lies and defames ANY Democrat...

will the Democrat or DNC or whomever sue CBS for defamation for 20 billion?
Seems only fair.

(Don't hold your breath. I'm sude the Sick Six will rule he can do anything he wants without being held accountable.)

[Tetrachloride]

[lostincalifornia]

21. CBS, the network who helped take Joe McCarthy down. Their new corporate owners have thoroughly

compromised the integrity that network once had with Edward R. Murrow, Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite, etc..

Remember when Walter Cronkite was viewed as the most trusted man in America?

The depths of depravity the country has become, selling our Democracy for almighty buck, and bowing to someone who tried to overthrow the government. What a disgrace.

[RainCaster]

22. No more 60 minutes for me

I'm done.

[bronxiteforever]

23. CBS is regime media for a failing regime.

A Billionaire media group built for promotion of billionaire tax cuts.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

24. The floor will be nice and clean and shiny from all the kneepads scraping and polishing it.

[hvn_nbr_2]

[Ocelot II]

26. That rumbling sound you hear is Walter Cronkite spinning in his grave

along with Mike Wallace and Harry Reasoner.

27. I watch CBS evening news when the ABC evening isn't on

I’ll be skipping CBS News now now andforget 60 minutes it’ll be Fox 2.0 propaganda.

[Figarosmom]

28. They are walking themselves

Into bankruptcy.
