FCC will not revoke CBS’s broadcast license despite Trump’s request
According to the Verge, FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel has rebuffed former President Donald Trump's demand to revoke CBS's broadcast license following a controversial 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump accused CBS of manipulating the interview through editing, calling it "election interference."
Rosenworcel defended the First Amendment, stating that the FCC will not revoke licenses based on political disagreements with content. This incident echoes a similar situation in September when Trump objected to ABC's presidential debate moderation. The FCC's stance underscores the importance of protecting free speech in broadcasting, even amid political pressure.
