President Donald Trump bitterly attacked "60 Minutes" shortly after the CBS newsmagazine broadcast stories on Ukraine and Greenland Sunday, saying the network is out of control and should "pay a big price" — specificying that 'they should lose their license" — for going after him.
"Almost every week, 60 Minutes ... mentions the name 'TRUMP' in a derogatory and defamatory way, but this Weekend's 'BROADCAST' tops them all," the president said on his Truth Social platform.
He called on Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr to impose maximum fines and punishment "for their unlawful and illegal behavior."
The network had no immediate comment.
Trump has an ongoing $20 billion lawsuit against "60 Minutes" for how it edited an interview with Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris last fall. The president claims it was edited in a way to make Harris look good, something the newscast denies. But there are ongoing reports Trump's lawyers and CBS' parent company are involved in settlement talks.

Of the big three (CBS, NBC, ABC) I think NBC is the worst. They should all lose their broadcast license and forced to pay very heavy fines. And their Bolshevik CEO’s should be in prison awaiting execution. /spit
Legitimate question. Where does freedom of the press end and libel/ slander begin?
I didn’t watch the episode but did CBS claim anything that is untrue?
Both extremes are dangerous..
Is the Pope a socialist?
You might be right.
In case you are, I'll take the precaution to recommend your solution to the dilemma.
They should all lose their broadcast license and forced to pay very heavy fines. And their Bolshevik CEO’s should be in prison awaiting execution.
Yep, that one seems reasonable to me.
I'm sorry, it will take me a few hours to stop laughing and respond properly to you.
Who cares?
Stop the daily drama whining, fix the economy.
Clown show
I saw a few bits and pieces of 60 minutes last night. “Trump promised and end to the war before his ingeneration” then followed with the Russian bombing.
Hey CBS, Biden promised a cure for cancer by the end of his term, so seems like a wash to me. No mention of how many talks have happened to end the conflict either.
The Greenland segment was just stupid, but it’s 60 minutes, so........
Agreed.....I want specifics how CBS slanted their reports.
No doubt, they always do, but specifics please.
