Trump is demanding repercussions…
On Thursday, former President Donald Trump said CBS News should lose its broadcasting license.
At issue is a recent interview conducted by Bill Whitaker with Vice President Kamala Harris, which took place at the Naval Observatory over the weekend and aired Monday night.
At issue is Harris’s answer regarding US foreign policy, which first surfaced Sunday on Face the Nation, specifically as to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s not listening to the United States diplomatic outreach.
Harris replied, “Well Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.”
However, the response to the same question aired in 60 Minutes was quite different: “We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end. “
The move has caused an uproar of backlash against the network which is being accused of violating journalistic standards.
Trump insisted that he believes CBS should be punished severely.
Trump posted on social media:
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!
Later, he ramped things up by calling them a “THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!”:
With me, 60 Minutes does the exact opposite! They take everything I say, realize how totally BRILLIANT it is, and take it out. So, with Kamala they add, with “TRUMP,” they delete. Like the Democrat Party, THEY ARE A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!
When reached for comment, Trump spokesman Steven Cheung told Mediaite: “60 Minutes was exposed for misleadingly editing Kamala Harris’ answers in a blatant attempt to cover up her nonsensical, word-salad answers. She had no clue how to answer some of the most basic questions, and so they had to splice and chop her answers in order to try to formulate a coherent sentence, and they even failed at that.”
You’re not winning friends in corporate media. But, what the hell…they’ve chosen to parrot the Leftists. Nothing you could say or do will change that!
With the same statement, you strike a nerve with the common folk who believe media is the virus! You gain much more by telling the truth than you could by pandering to medias’ globalist controllers!
There should be serious repercussions! Our Republic cannot function without a watchdog media. Not a lapdog!
I take solace in historical precedents….
At Nuremberg, the complicit media was hanged alongside their Nazi masters!
Just so.
we are TIRED of being purposely mislead by Main Stream Media
As the Red Queen could say, “Off wit their Heads” Take away their power.
Afterall, HARRIS said she would HAPPILY pull trademarks, patents, etc against corporations. So, what’s the big deal about pulling a FCC license for BLATANT election interferance and falsehoods?
Damn good idea, President Trump!
Let ‘em fall from their own weight. Gravity is a bi—-h.
Yes all MSM as well make=
