    Maybe a fine, but no way they lose their license. Do they even have a license?

    If a media company doesn't lose their license after spending almost a billion dollars for lying for a certain candidate then I see know reason why CBS should lose theirs

    Fantastic! Raw video only. No more edits allowed by all media companies! An excellent idea!

    I wouldn’t support that. There’s some good shows on CBS that I watch

    Good question. My understanding is the FCC licenses individual stations, not networks like CBS, NBC, ABC, or Fox

    Cancel their license and give it to OAN.

    I'm pretty sure that FCC doesn't license networks it licenses individual television and radio stations.

    Just don't watch or buy from their advertisers. I do not believe in licenses or government intervention. The First Amendment is sacred regardless of what side you are on. The Second Amendment protects the First. Period.

    On what basis would the Dear Leader be pulling the licenses of the affiliates? Just asking.

    Trump has been threatening to pull licenses of media he doesn’t like for sometime. Of course, being Trump, he doesn’t know that CBS is not licensed by the FCC

    Imo this is more about trump and his team wanting a ruling to use against all media outlets not aligned with them, those left of OAN. Authoritarians have an history attacking media. Look at Putin’s control over Russia media. And other Authoritarians throughout history. This is just the beginning.

    Yaaasss. And who might be the first to violate such an agreement were it to exist? Heavily edited DonOld on Fox?

    Such a petty thin-skinned man-child.
