Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel says the agency won't address GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's calls for CBS to lose its broadcast license – following revelations the network edited at least one of Democratic rival Kamala Harris' responses in a one-one "60 Minutes" interview that aired Monday.
Rosenworcel said in a statement the federal agency “does not and will not revoke licenses for broadcast stations simply because a political candidate disagrees with or dislikes content or coverage.”
Trump called the editing “threats against free speech.”
“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,” Rosenworcel wrote. “As I’ve said before, the First Amendment is a cornerstone of our democracy.”
On Thursday, Trump on Truth Social called the matter a "giant Fake News Scam,” and accusing “60 Minutes” of replacing Harris’ answers with another to “make her look better,” according to CNN.
