There was loads of bad press when he ran. I think you're misremembering.
very well could be. I know the line I recall was for the reason that he became a candidate so early in the 2020 election cycle and there was something about it protecting him from criticism, maybe he had to be allowed a rebuttal if they did those things while he was a candidate. Still looking into the laws that govern political people and the media, it seems that cable stations have different rules then those that apply to over the air stations (which cable news stations use to their benefit but this would also apply here with showtime, so even if there was something to the thing I am thinking of this is still odd, maybe it is just they dont have the war chest to play in court and dont wanna get bit right now)
