First on the fox – The Fair Fund Fair, a group of supervision of national elections for integrity, has invited Federal Commission for Communications “Keep CBS responsible for his unlawful behavior” associated with the infamous “60 minutes” interview with then President Kamal Harris.
Trump is allegedly involved in the election of CBS’s “60 minutes” interview and believes that the network assisted his democratic rival, then President Kamal Harris, through a deceptive arrangement a month before they faced the presidential election. Sitting in October 2024 with Harris has been at the center of controversy for months, and Trump has taken legal proceedings, and FCC President Brendan Carr forced CBS to release an unregulated transcript and raw recordings.
CBS and his home company, Paramount Global, insist that the net did nothing wrong, but the honest election fund believes that the arrangement job was a “irregular contribution” to Harris campaign.
“After reviewing the video and transcript to which public notification is considered to be cautiously informing the Commission that CBS was not only engaged in the irregular distortion of news, but also used the” exemption for the media “under the 1974 Federal Election Campaign Law, amended by James Tyrell, the advice is quite written in writing the Fund Fox News Digital.

“Sincerely, we ask that the Commission holds CBS responsible for its illegal behavior,” Tyrell continued. “By moderately editing Mrs. Harris’s answers in an interview with CBS, CBS has been involved in activities that exceed the scope of the” legitimate printing function “and, therefore, are an irregular contribution to Mrs. Harris campaign.”
Tyrell wrote that “a very landscaped interview by CBS has transcended the legitimate CBS of print” and invited FCC to work.
“The results of the 2024 presidential elections make it clear that the US public has lost confidence in the media, and, regardless of the fact that this commission decides in this question that lost trust will not be renewed immediately. The question is whether this commission will further undermine the US public confidence in the US Government by giving a biased media company,” Tyrell wrote. ”
Tyrell also believes that “news distortion” is not an isolated incident.
“For example, Americans have publicly criticized journalists and media for” concealing “the mental fall of former President Joe Biden and because they failed to conduct any testing of the White House regarding the same,” Tyrell wrote.
“This repeated pattern 33 behavior is precisely why the US public no longer trusts the media,” Tyrell added. “Unfortunately, the media staff continues to push his own political programs to the detriment of the US public to complete information and exploit the rules and regulations of the FCC -A Federal Election Commission in their favor. Such manipulative behavior should not be deprived of this commission.”
Carr, whom Trump has appointed and called CBS, “Hardly Explain”, he had previously sought feedback to the public because he conducts an overview of the “60 minutes” saga. Last month, Carr ordered CBS News to surrender to an unregistered transcript as part of his investigation whether the network had violated the FCC policy “Distressia of News” after the appeal filed. CBS refused to release the transcript until Carr turned on.
“Any point of information you look at shows that the American people have lost confidence in the inherited national newspaper media. They feel like these sales areas are just trying to sheep people according to preferaced political narratives, instead of playing them straight. Considering CBS, FCC leads a transparent procedure that allows every American participant.

“But Prime Minister Netanyahu does not seem to listen,” Whitaker said in an exchange. “Wall Street Journal said he was – that your administration had repeatedly blinded Netanyahu, and in things, he rejected almost all the pleas of your administration.”
“Well, Bill, the job we did resulted in numerous movements in that region by Israel that has greatly encouraged or the result of many things, including our advocacy of what must happen in the region. And we will not stop doing it. We will not stop following what is needed for the United States.

“Well, Bill, the job we did resulted in numerous movements in that region by Israel, which have greatly encouraged or the result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region,” Harris replied in the “Face the Nation” clip.
Harris was mocked by the conservatives because he offered Whitaker a long “word salad”. But when the same question was broadcast next night in temporary elections, A shorter, focused answer The Vice President followed.

CBS Paramount Global’s home company responded on Friday to an appeal for the distortion of news that is in line with the FCC.

“The protection of the first amendment refers to all Americans, including emitors such as CBS of its cells. Television deals with protected speech whenever” performs a editorial discretion in the selection and presentation of their program, “they continued. that the commission returns immediately by closing this procedure. “
Paramount Global believes that the first amendment would not allow the Government to replace his judgment for the broadcast of the specific recording of the interviews that will be broadcast.

Trump filed a 20 -billion dollar lawsuit against CBS, claiming that he was an optional interview for his interview, accusing the net of helping his democratic rival by asking just a few days before the election.
According to the court documents he was reviewed Fox News DigitalParamount claimed last week that the lawsuit was wrongly filed by Trump’s legal team at the US District Court in the North County of Texas, despite the fact that neither Paramount nor CBS News is in Lone Star, nor did any production of interview “60 minutes” at the center of the lawsuit have any branch with the state.
In a separate submission, Paramount claimed that Trump’s lawsuit was “the killer of the first amendment and without the basis in the law or fact,” trying to “punish the news organization for the constitutional protected editorial verdicts they do not like.”
