Donald Trump s wrath over CBS News 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris continued into Thursday, now with him demanding the century-old network and all other TV news stations lose their broadcasting licenses.

CBS, Trump charged on social media, 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!

The network has just created the Greatest Fraud in Broadcast History, he said, referring to claims he made Wednesday that CBS heavily edited its recent interview with Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, to make her look more Presidential and conceal that shes virtually incoherent.

Trump, who backed out of his 60 Minutes interview at the last minute, claimed in a follow-up post that CBS is A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. (He faces that same accusation, which is at the center of two of his criminal indictments.)

Its conceivable that Trump, who has long had a fraught relationship with the press, could act on this threat if he wins back the White House next month. Experts have noted theres an obscure provision in the 1934 Communications Act allowing presidents to shut down broadcasters in the interests of national emergency or national security.
