Speaking of, Trump took issue with the interview Harris did with CBS’ “60 Minutes” that aired Monday, claiming the newsmagazine edited Harris’ responses to make her appear “more presidential.” On Thursday, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “’60 Minutes’ is a major part of the News Organization of CBS, which has just created the Greatest Fraud in Broadcast History. CBS should lose its license, and it should be bid out to the Highest Bidder, as should all other Broadcast Licenses, because they are just as corrupt as CBS — and maybe even WORSE!”. The charge didn’t sit well with FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, who stated, “While repeated attacks against broadcast stations by the former President may now be familiar, these threats against free speech are serious and should not be ignored. As I’ve said before, the First Amendment is a cornerstone of our democracy. The FCC does not and will not revoke licenses for broadcast stations simply because a political candidate disagrees with or dislikes content or coverage.” Trump had also been invited to appear in the traditional pre-election “60 Minutes” special, but declined.
