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.”
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.
