Fox News ^ | February 1, 2025 | Gabriel Hayes

CBS News announced it would comply with the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) demand that it turn over the transcript of a "60 Minutes" interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris that is the subject of President Trump’s lawsuit against the company.

The FCC, led by Trump appointee Brendan Carr, sent a letter of inquiry to the news company on Wednesday, requesting the "full, unedited transcript and camera feeds."

After all this we’ll see the censored portions where she said she was born in a middle class family in a middle class neighborhood.

And “Could you turn off the cameras a minute, Bill? My teleprompter behind you just malfunctioned.”

Bill Whitaker: “Fellas, splice this together later, okay?”

I wonder how many "Ooops - couldn't find that!" and "That file was inadvertently deleted/lost/corrupted - sorry!" alibis are going to show up?

Good question. The article says the judge order CBS to produce transcripts so I guess the question is why they weren’t asked to produce the actual video. Maybe they’ve been asked and agreed to hand over the raw video but it’s being misreported as transcripts.

Maybe the very recent $15 million from ABC and $25 million from Meta is making these idiots from CBS think twice, wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they settled out of court for another $25 million (instead of billions) to President Trump to go to another charity.

“The network said Friday that it was compelled by Brendan Carr, Trump’s appointee as FCC chairman, to turn over the transcripts and camera feeds of the interview for a parallel investigation by the commission. “60 Minutes” has resisted releasing transcripts for this and all of its interviews, to avoid second-guessing of its editing process.”

If Trump keeps winning these lawsuits he’ll soon have enough to pay off Carroll and New York, if he has to.

The licenses of all their local television stations (both owned and affiliated) need to be pulled.

They do not serve the public interest with their leftist propaganda.

it was criminal and someone should be charged with a criminal conspiracy. Only until there are real life consequences for their campaign interference, will this stop. This crap has been going on since the 90’s.
