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.
It doesn’t matter if they have a legal argument. They want to scare the execs at
CBSParamount so thatCBSParamount capitulates and gives in, just like ABC did.And guess what?
It’s working.
Some people really need to go study the rise of the Third Reich. They will be feeling like they have deja vu.
You best start believing in thick chapters in the history book. You’re in one.
Good reading: “Maus” by Art Spiegelman, “Night” by Elie Wiesel.
