The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press is urging the Federal Communications Commission to drop its inquiry into whether CBS News deceptively edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris before the 2024 election, emphasizing the danger that it could pose to a free press.
Last October, CBS aired certain portions of an interview with Harris in a promotional clip on “Face the Nation” and then other portions in the ultimate broadcast the next day on “60 Minutes.”
Donald Trump sued CBS, alleging that the news broadcaster had “doctored” the interview to benefit Harris, who at the time was running for president against Trump. The FCC also received a complaint claiming that CBS violated the agency’s “news distortion” rule, which gives the FCC narrow authority to investigate complaints about accuracy or bias in news reporting.
