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.
I would love to live in a world where CBS tells them to go fuck themselves, and airs an hourlong special on the history of free speech protections in the United States and the meaning of the term “chilling effect.”
It seems like kind of the bare minimum. If they as an American news organization are not at least willing to do that, they should replace that proud-of-itself ticking clock intro with a little clip of some of the news reports from Starship Troopers.
that is all you need to know about this situation to conclude what will happen.
Network States will emerge within 3 years. Make sure you get in to Disney State or Microsoft. Dont want to get stuck in a shit ass place like O’Reiley’s State.
They’re a corporation. You are on the news source now.
Pretty much, yes. Why do you think I keep setting up these RSS feed communities to still-high-quality journalism?
