FCC Chair Rejects Trump's CBS License Demands

Former President Donald Trump has criticized CBS for allegedly editing an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on '60 Minutes' to make her appear more coherent, demanding the revocation of CBS's broadcasting license. Trump claims the editing is an example of election interference and a 'fake news scam,' which he deems illegal. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has rejected Trump's demands, emphasizing the importance of free speech and the First Amendment, and stating that licenses cannot be revoked based on political disagreement. CBS has not responded to the accusations, and the edited and full interview versions remain available online. The controversy has sparked a broader discussion about media practices and the limits of political influence over broadcasting licenses.
