I believe in lawsuits. I was wondering why he didn't sue during his first term with all the fake news.Karoline Leavitt warned CBS that Trump would sue if interview was edited
In 2024, Trump sued the network over the editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with then–Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing CBS of deceptive editing.
That would be an interesting lawsuit.
Federal control over private media - no, not authoritarian overreach at all.Karoline Leavitt warned CBS that Trump would sue if interview was edited

We saw the Biden administration collude with social media, using taxpayer dollars to try and defeat Trump in the election. Here Trump has previously and successfully sued in federal court for deceptive editing, and he warns that he will sue if they don't let the people see the entire interview.
Trump suing is Trump suing; no more, no less. It is the same as any other individual entering into a lawsuit. The only difference is Trump can afford to take it to court.
There's that and that he has the FCC chairman in his pocket doing his bidding. He is well known for using the power of his office to go retaliate and punish those who displease him. His being president and in a position to heavily influence regulatory agencies to get back at people is a bit more. His siccing the DOJ on his enemies is also a bit more.
Lols, as though Biden lined his pockets will millions by threatening to sue various outlets. Donald didn't win in court, he settled for cash in exchange for letting certain merges go through.
It’s also beyond ridiculous to assume this is never done to twist an interview to what a program wants it to say. This has been going on for decades. If you count creative editing, it has happened in newspapers for maybe as long as they’ve been in existence. Creative film and video editing has been around for so long, over forty years ago I realized that anyone granting an interview should have a clock visible but unobtrusive to make editing more apparent. These days it would be better to make your own video of the proceedings and release it, unedited.
That was not done to him. No president has sued him or used his office to bully him into paying millions.
And who has assumed that? No one here.
Yes, editing can be done for good or for evil, but it is mostly done for watchability and practicality, as most of us know. Most shows do have a point of view, obviously. Unedited video with all the ums and uhs is tedious and ultimately uninteresting unless you are looking for something specific.
Is that the type of federal control that was in mind when things like freedom of the press was established?
The 1st Amendment begins with "Congress shall make no law..." and given Jefferson said that the only reliable part of a newspaper was the advertisements, abuse by the press was a known possibility and likely expected.
