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.”

Well duh, that’s the point entirely.
As much as those networks helped him by ignoring half of what he said and going over everything Harris said with a fine-toothed-comb, it’s kind of funny watching it bite them in the ass.
If they would have shown how weird he really is compared to Harris they wouldn’t be in this mess right now.
But they just couldn’t resist the ratings generated by normalizing him and keeping the race tight.
Now they’re going to lose more than they gained from that ratings spike.Bro had every outlet giving him sloppy top and this is his response
With fascists, there’s no end to loyalty tests.
There must always be an “in” to get toadies to join your ranks… and an “out” scapegoat to give them a target. Even if they are wildly successful at ridding 100% of the “outs,” there must be a new set of “outs” or you risk the “ins” blaming the leader for any of the problems they face as a result of the leader’s decisions.
Loyalty tests are a way of scaring “ins” to fall in line, lest they become “outs” as a result… but no amount of acts of loyalty keeps you from eventually being one of the “outs.”
Their “in” will always be an inward shrinking group.
His plan is to fuck them over anyway, just so other organizations know that it won’t make a difference. They’re an enemy if they ever air anything against him.
That’s what those groveling losers get.
Anyone who wasn’t sure that the “end weaponization of government” was projection…
“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.
we’re going down this road of “punishing” media
It’s not a question of who is going down that road,we shouldn’t be going down that roadn at all.
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.
Go fuck yourself, nazi.
There is something to be said for diminishing the impact of the word “nazi” by gross overuse.
If it quacks like a duck…
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.
