• Trump criticizes CBS and '60 Minutes' for allegedly biased reporting.
• Calls for the network to face maximum fines and possible license revocation.
• The president has an ongoing lawsuit against CBS relating to a past interview with Kamala Harris.
• Trump accused the network of being a "dishonest Political Operative" rather than a legitimate news source.
• Correspondent Scott Pelley interviewed Ukraine's president on the show, further angering Trump.

President Donald Trump has publicly condemned CBS's '60 Minutes' for what he deems unfair and derogatory coverage, specifically calling for the network to be taken off the air. Following the broadcast of reports on Ukraine and Greenland, Trump took to his Truth Social account to express his outrage, describing the segments as "highly inaccurate stories" that treat him unfairly, according to SFGate.

Trump accused '60 Minutes' of not functioning as a legitimate news program, but rather as a "dishonest Political Operative." He asserted that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), led by Chairman Brendan Carr, should impose "maximum fines and punishment" for what he labels "unlawful and illegal behavior." He further declared, “CBS is out of control, at levels never seen before, and they should pay a big price for this,” reports HuffPost.

This recent backlash aligns with Trump's ongoing $20 billion lawsuit against CBS regarding its editing of an interview with Kamala Harris. The legal action contends that the interview was manipulated to favor Harris, leading Trump to accuse the network of "partisan and unlawful acts." CBS has contested these claims, asserting that the editing was standard practice for television news, according to Newsweek.

In the episode that provoked Trump's ire, correspondent Scott Pelley interviewed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who criticized Trump's narrative regarding the war. Zelenskyy remarked, "I believe, sadly, Russian narratives are prevailing in the U.S.," further challenging Trump’s portrayal of the conflict and stirring additional tensions, according to HuffPost.
