Donald Trump files yet another censorship lawsuit

Trump tries his favorite strategy again.

Claim the edit counts as a contribution to the Harris campaign Call to strip CBS of its FCC broadcast license for election interference (licenses are actually held by individual TV stations, not the network, and they aren’t revoked for basic editorial decisions) Send a letter to CBS demanding the full transcript of the interview under threat of a lawsuit File a lawsuit demanding $10 million for alleged violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act So far judges have correctly recognized these suits as specious, but that’s reliant on a legal system that’s not rebuilt by Trump from the ground up, and it’s still shameless, expensive harassment of the press. If anyone involved here believed a word of their claims about enforcing impartial news coverage, they’d be supporting a legal standard that would wipe their favorite conservative TV networks off the map.
