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.”

    Mother fucker “misleading” is literally all fox news does.

    Stupid fucking Democrats are going to take the high road as usual and let him dump on everyone, but not even attempt to sue Fox for similar reasoning. Trump has already shown he’s crushing the 1st amendment, the high road leads off a cliff there’s no reason to take it.

      The important part is you managed to blame the democrats. Like the fcc wouldn’t dismiss anything.

      Your desire for performative politics has me guessing you’re a leftist that will shut on anything the democrats do or do not do, such is your performative politicking.

        Where did you get that from?

        Someone needs to sue. If fox is lying and misleading about Democrats, and we’re going down this road of “punishing” media, then fox is as fair of game as there could possibly be.

        And you need to hold Democrats accountable, they don’t do shit otherwise.

            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.

          There is something to be said for diminishing the impact of the word “nazi” by gross overuse.

        I consider myself to be left politically (though have apparently failed numerous purity tests on this site so who knows…), and this is a spot on criticism.
