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.”
That’s all well and good until he starts rounding up socialists before that power vacuum can be filled. You can sure that there will be witch hunts and show trials. Trump’s too much of a Roy Cohn disciple not to use that standard totalitarian tactic.
At the bare minimum, if liberals started watching PBS for the nightly news, they would be better off.
Only 20% of public broadcasting budget is federally funded and they would need an act of congress to begin moderating content.
Which… the government does not produce the content nor do they own any of the radio stations. PRI & NPR are private companies who produce the content, and the stations, which are community owned, purchase the license to broadcast their content.
The public airwaves are already well protected against Trump and liberals need to get on them before they fall victim to the brainwashing.
