FCC Investigates CBS Over Trump Lawsuit Claims

CBS has released the full transcript and unedited footage of its controversial October 2024 interview with Kamala Harris, countering claims made by Donald Trump that the network engaged in deceptive editing to favor the Democratic nominee. Trump's lawsuit accuses CBS of election interference and claims that the edited broadcast harmed his fundraising efforts. CBS maintains that its editing practices are standard journalistic procedures meant to provide clarity and that the broadcast was not doctored or deceitful. The Federal Communications Commission is also investigating the matter following a complaint about potential media bias. CBS's actions aim to reinforce its credibility amidst allegations of political favoritism. The situation has raised questions about press freedoms and the role of regulatory bodies in journalism.
