Summary

The FCC, now chaired by Trump appointee Brendan Carr, has reinstated complaints against ABC, CBS, and NBC over alleged bias in their 2024 election coverage, including ABC’s debate moderation and Kamala Harris’s appearances on CBS’s 60 Minutes and NBC’s Saturday Night Live.

Previously dismissed by former FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel for lack of evidence, the complaints will now be investigated.

Critics warn the move risks politicizing FCC authority and undermining press freedom.

Trump has also sued CBS over its Harris interview, alleging it was “misleading.”

    we’re going down this road of “punishing” media

    It’s not a question of who is going down that road,we shouldn’t be going down that roadn at all.

      I agree, but we’re already here. It would be stupid to simply let them do it and not retaliate especially if it’s warranted.

        The answer to “your dictator is bad” is not “my dictator is good”.

        No dictator is good. This act itself is bad whether it’s somebody you like doing it or not.
