The FCC has already initiated an investigation into this matter, alongside several other probes into various news organizations.

Donald Trump’s lawsuit against CBS and subsequent FCC investigation, stemming from a *60 Minutes* interview with Kamala Harris, are baseless. The released transcript fully refutes Trump’s claims of “election interference” and journalistic misconduct, revealing his accusations to be a misrepresentation of standard editing practices. CBS’s editing of Harris’s response to a question about Israel involved using a more concise portion of her answer, not replacing it with a fabricated one. The FCC’s consideration of the complaint is a concerning abuse of power, driven by Trump’s personal vendetta and a questionable interpretation of broadcast regulations.

It’s truly mind-boggling how former President Donald Trump continues to exhibit his absurdity by threatening 60 Minutes over Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent interview. The hypocritical nature of his accusations is glaringly obvious, especially considering his own past experiences with edited coverage on Fox News. Trump’s demand for an investigation into CBS News and their editing practices seems to be yet another attempt to deflect attention from the fact that he himself is under investigation.
The sheer audacity of Trump’s call for an investigation into 60 Minutes is laughable when you consider the countless times his own interviews have been manipulated to make him appear more coherent or less outlandish.… Continue reading
