The FCC’s release of the full transcript and video of Kamala Harris’s ’60 Minutes’ interview has sparked a firestorm of commentary, much of it focusing on the perceived hypocrisy of the situation. The release itself seems, to many, a strange use of agency resources, particularly given the existing concerns about potential news distortion across the media landscape. This isn’t just about the Harris interview; it’s about a broader question of fairness and consistency in how news is scrutinized.
The central controversy revolves around the FCC’s investigation into whether the ’60 Minutes’ interview was edited in a way that constitutes “news distortion.”… Continue reading
Compelled by the FCC chairman, CBS will provide unedited transcripts and camera footage of its Kamala Harris interview. This action stems from a $10 billion lawsuit filed by Donald Trump, alleging deceptive editing to favor Harris. The network maintains its editing practices were standard and denies wrongdoing, while press freedom advocates closely monitor the situation and potential settlement talks. Trump’s continued pursuit of the lawsuit, despite his election win, highlights the ongoing tension between the former president and media outlets. Similar past settlements between Trump and other media organizations have involved substantial financial payouts.

The 2024 election was marred by widespread voter suppression, disproportionately impacting voters of color.

This suppression, estimated to have cost Kamala Harris at least 3,565,000 votes, likely changed the outcome in key swing states, resulting in a loss for Harris despite winning the popular vote. Without this suppression, Harris would have won the presidency with 286 electoral votes.

Pence’s comment that it’s “admirable” that Vice President Harris certified President Trump’s win in 2024 after he lost the election sparks a wave of reactions. It highlights a shift in expectations surrounding the basic functioning of American democracy. The act of certifying an election result, once a routine and almost invisible part of the process, has become a point of contention and even praise.
