The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Every week, "60 Minutes" broadcasts an episode that mentions Trump in a derogatory and defamatory way, with little interest in the real situation. It operates more as a political operative than a news outlet and it needs to be held accountable for this unacceptable behavior.
Anti-Trump narrative
Trump continues to lash out at media outlets that simply seek to hold him to account. His attempts to shutter CBS are contrary to the First Amendment and the impartiality of the FCC. This is a bad-faith, authoritarian statement meant to intimidate media outlets.
