Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the 60 minutes in question?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

“They are not a ‘News Show,’ but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as ‘News,’ and must be responsible for what they have done, and are doing,” the president wrote.
Isn't this clown being sued by the same firm that sued Fox "News" and won?
"maximum fines and punishment"
Sure. Those are both 0, jackass.
He should just go ahead and have that stroke he's been foreshadowing for years.
Science will later tell us he was having a 60-year-long stroke. Ironically, the “greatest” stroke of all time.
Trump is a BIG STRONG MAN and as Someone who Defends Mass School Shooters because of the Constitution I AGREE with Him about News Stations LOSING Their Licenses if they HURT his Feefees!
Softest President of all time. Like wet paper.
He's so moist.
I'd call him President Wetwipe, but those are actually useful.
and wet wipes don't dissolve
They can both clog a toilet.
Or build up in the sewer with shit and grease. President Fatberg.
He's as strong and resilient as a fart in the wind!
Wait! Lemme take a pictu- awwww... It's gone...

I thought this was the onion for a good 2 seconds.
“This is why we can’t elect women to power! They are too emotionally unstable and we’ll be in WW3 within a month!”
-Sexist chuds
Yeah, about that…
Yep, thank God A WOMAN doesn't have the nuclear codes. Just imagine how scary that would be.
That's because, for some reason, people don't treat anger like an emotion
Or rather they consider anger to be an emotion of strength, rather than one of fear

Trump needs to be removed from office and we should be out in the streets calling for nothing less
This guy has himself surrounded by yes men and is locked into his own disinformation bubble for most of the time. Getting a glimpse of what people who aren't kissing his ass really are thinking about him must have been quite the whiplash for his tiny sick mind to take.
I watch 60 Minutes regularly. Mostly the mainstream media is way too easy on this administration. While this wasn’t some crushing indictment, I can see why Trump was unhappy about it. And Zelenskyy was being super diplomatic. I know deep down he just wants to tell Trump to go fuck himself.
He urged FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who was named to the position by Trump, to deliver “substantial” penalties to the network for what he called “unlawful and illegal behavior.”
FCC: "No."
But he was put there by Trump, so he’ll do it. Just like all these other agencies.
You mean the FCC chair that has recently taken to wearing a pin with Trump's fat fucking face on it? I think you mean...
FCC: Sure thing, bossman.
Yeah, but only because "CBS" doesn't have a broadcast license, stations do.
Also, cable TV doesn't use "broadcast licenses", and IPTV & streaming certainly don't.
A lot of what Trump does makes sense when you realize his brain ossified in 1982.
Couldn’t they put penalties on all individual stations broadcasting CBS?
Effectively forcing them to stop broadcasting?
I’m curious because I like a lot of shows on CBS. Though I watch it on cable which you are saying is not regulated by the FCC?

If that were true he wouldn't be such a fanboy for Russia. He didn't become an asset for them until 1987.

“CBS is out of control, at levels never seen before, and they should pay a big price for this,” he wrote.
In Trump's mind, saying something he doesn't want you to say is "unlawful and illegal". And since both Congress and the Supreme Court have decided that he is never wrong, and law enforcement now operates by kidnapping people and trafficking them into life imprisonment and slavery without trial, that is the de facto reality.
and law enforcement now operates by kidnapping people and trafficking them into life imprisonment and slavery without trial
Oh, honey. You don't think those people are still alive, do you?
Realistically, we don't know, because the point is for them to disappear. Historically this has tended to mean people get killed.

They’re saying that Maryland guy is still alive.
We really need him to produce a chart of these levels he’s talking about, for the sake of comedy.

This is fucked up and it's terrifying that's the new reality
"...at levels never seen before"
