President Trump signed up for a family enemy on Sunday night, exploiting “False CBS news” for his “out of control” coverage and asked the FCC to slap the network with “fines and maximum punishments.”
In a publication about Truth Social, the president attacked the network about his Sunday episode, which had an interview sitting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zenskyy and a segment on the opposition to Trump’s desire to take care of Greenland.
“Almost every week, 60 minutes …, mentions the name ‘Trump’ in a derogatory and defamatory way, but the ‘transmission’ of this weekend heads them all,” Trump wrote.
“With luck, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), headed by its very respected president, Brendan Carr, will impose the maximum fines and punishment, which is substantial, for its inalcator and illegal behavior,” he continued.
CBS did not immediately respond to the request for post comments.
Duration of the “60 minutes” episode on Sunday, Zenskyy, who left his visit to the White House early after a heated meeting, urged Trump to visit Ukraine and said that the “Russian narratives” in the war prevail in the United States.
“How is it possible to witness our losses and our suffering, understand what the Russians are doing and to believe that they are not the aggressors, who did not start this war?” Zenskyy said, a probable reference to the comments Trump made earlier this year, which implies that Ukraine began war. Later, Trump reversed the course and acknowledged that Russia was the instigator.
“This speaks of the enormous influence of Russia’s information policy on the United States, American politics and American politicians,” Zenskyy continued.
The episode also included the coverage of the impulse of Greenland that protested by Trump to take care of the territory. In his speech to a joint session of Congress last month, the president said: “I think we will get it. In one way or another, we will get it.”
Although Trump has long condemned the traditional media, the theme of the battery or the biased reports, has made a particular objective of CBS News as an October interview “60 minutes” with her then opponent, former vice president Kamala Harris.
Later, those months, the thirst CBS on the episode, claiming that he was deceptively edited to make Harris better meet with his so -called “word salad” responses in more coherent clips.
The controversy exploded after the network transmitted a legitimate version of Harris “response in” Face the Nation “and a different and more concise in 60 minutes.”
In a public presentation last month, CBS said that “the transcription and the images of the unknown interview show that CBS dedicated itself to common editorial practices specifically, by deciding which material from a format of disastrous sitting.”
The owner of CBS Paramount and Trump are ready to start mediation in the demand of $ 20 billion, the New York Times reported last week.
Meanwhile, Carr has promised to accelerate an FCC investigation into the “60 minutes” incident and recently rejected the network offer to dismiss the complaint.
