Trump Threatens CBS License Over '60 Minutes' Editing Claims, Seeks Unchecked Power
Oct 21, 2024, 07:40 PM
Former President Donald Trump has threatened to revoke CBS's broadcast license, specifically targeting its program '60 Minutes' for alleged biased editing. This marks a continuation of Trump's contentious relationship with media outlets, reminiscent of his 2017 call for NBC to lose its license, which drew criticism from his then-FCC chair. Trump's recent comments suggest he seeks to exert significant control over media narratives, stating that CBS should be taken off the air. In response, some observers have called for CBS to release unedited transcripts of '60 Minutes' to counter Trump's claims and demonstrate transparency.
