I'm shocked the FCC is taking any action to investigate the FCC. The FCC is accountable to Congress. I wonder what's at play here. Perhaps the Biden/Harris administration doesn't have the influence over the FCC as they do with other federal agencies???
I don't know much about the FCC. Anyone?

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent agency of the United States government. The FCC is accountable to the U.S. Congress and is overseen by a chair who is one of five commissioners appointed by the President.

So the overlord is investigating their own propaganda outlet.

Can anybody here predict the findings of the investigation?

That's what I was thinking. As stated, I haven't read much about the FCC and have no idea of their politics. I see they are accountable to Congress, makes me wonder if the House Republicans may have influenced them to take some action.
I don't know and was hoping someone might have some insight.

The case law cited in the complaint to the FCC says distortion of the news to favor a candidate is a violation of the law. Sure would like to see this fully litigated (with discovery). Somehow, I don't see that happening.

Thanks again for posting LakeChuckFan.

this is just so they can come back and say "NO DECEPTION HERE" so kamala's team can rail on this all the way to election day.

stop thinking they are trying to actually uncover corruption.

That’s assuming Biden still controls those agencies which is not at all clear IMO.

Not to be that guy, but I don't know that it is accurate to say that the FCC is investigating CBS.

A complaint has been filed to the FCC. What happens next is anyone's guess.

Fake “investigation”. The FCC has no oversight here. Trump keeps saying the FCC should “take away their license”. But they have no license. The only thing the FCC licenses are the broadcast spectrum licenses which, generally, aren’t owned by the network, but by the local broadcast station owners.

They released the full transcript from trumps 60 minute interview.

I can't believe they thought no one would notice the clear bias here.

Orange man bad, not the "news" station selectively editing an interview with a presidential candidate, then doubling down on the lie after being caught.

Imo CBS and MSNBC are violating FEC.


This is part of cbs response.

Remember, Mr. Trump pulled out of his interview with 60 Minutes and the vice president participated.

Our long-standing invitation to former President Trump remains open. If he would like to discuss the issues facing the nation and the Harris interview, we would be happy to have him on 60 Minutes.


Trump has already done 60 minutes. So they are lying in their response.
