Summary
The FCC has demanded CBS provide the full, unedited transcript of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, following a complaint and a lawsuit by Donald Trump.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, appointed by Trump, has reversed past media-related dismissals and launched new investigations into broadcasters.
CBS is also in settlement talks with Trump amid concerns over a pending Paramount-Skydance merger.
Critics argue the FCC’s actions constitute government retaliation against the press, raising concerns over First Amendment protections and media independence.
The government can demand unpublished journalism materials, and CBS has the right to tell them to fuck off, which they would if they have any integrity left.
Narrator: “They don’t”
The cost for integrity in an authoritarian system is very very high.
We can’t expect them to have integrity until we are willing to be in the streets.
This should really be the story. “CBS capitulated to a dictator wanna be.”
Getting less “wannabe” and more “actual” every day
