The FCC’s show trial against CBS is a political power play
61% Informative
Federal Communications Commission is conducting an unseemly and unconstitutional spectacle to determine if CBS violated its policy against "news distortion" by editing a 60 Minutes interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris .
The FCC already knows CBS did not violate any rules and merely engaged in everyday journalism.
There is nothing to be learned from the over 8,000 comments and counting that have poured into the commission's inbox.
