FCC probes editing of 60 Minutes interview as CBS considers settling Trump suit.

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.

    Sure. And then the government revokes your broadcast license.

    And then fines you.

    And then breaks your assets up.

    Fun times.
