FCC demands CBS provide unedited transcript of Kamala Harris interview

- Start date
We all best settle in. It is going to be 4 long years of imagined grievance settling in the U.S. Federal government. To my international brothers and sisters, I'm sorry, we tried. Probably best for you all to just treat the U.S. as the banana republic it is for the next few years. See you, God willing, on the other side

I'm curious. What part of "making available so far as possible, to all the people of the United States, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, rapid, efficient, nationwide, and world-wide wire and radio communication services with adequate facilities at reasonable charges" does this fall under, anyway?

Jeeeeeeesus christ. Is someone going to loudly and constantly remind conservatives in the USA what the words "Free Speech" actually mean... or have we finally just reached "1984" and it just means what they say it means?

Soooo less than 30 days in and we essentially have concentration camps in Guantenomo, attacks on our trade partners, threats to take territory from other countries, attacks on the LGBT community, and now attacks on the freedom of the press. Impressive. I had odds on at least 6 months before we hit this level of fascist bullshitification.

So government oversite of media is ok....when it is bad for Trump? Is that the idea? Or just when it is good for Dems?
No matter what the outcome, this looks like gestapo level bullshit.

I should point out that this is one of those attacks the Right makes based on their own weaknesses, rather than those of their opponents. They're like "Check this out, we're gonna expose what you actually said" and the Left is like "Good, that's the point of saying things" and the Right is like "Whaaat!?"

Uh, welcome to 2025? Conservatives have been all about suppression of speech they don't like for ages. It's time everyone wakes up and smells the raw sewage: Republicans are Americans in name only. They don't believe in the Constitution, they don't believe in the even-handed application of the law, and they don't believe that other people have any rights. And none of this is new.
You best be believing in ghost stories Miss Turner, because you're in one.

Further proof all the gun nuts who claimed for years that needing to stokpile weapons was to defend 'freedom' and other noble sounding bullshit, were never really serious.
I hadnt heard a peep from anywhere in that direction in regards to all the freedoms being taken away.
If even a fraction of the 'passionate Paitriots' gave a shit, DC would be a smoking pile already

It's kind of wild that they basically claim ownership over the concept of patriotism while also openly despising every aspirational ideal and institution the USA has.

Maybe I'm missing something, but even if CBS came out and said something, like "yes, we are pro Harris" shouldn't it not even make a lick of difference?

The idea here isn't really to do with distortion or anything else between the two versions of the interview footage.
The idea here is that someone noticed "hey, 60 minutes isn't using all the footage! I wonder what else they cut, and if we can access and weaponize it?"
Of course, at this point, they've moved on from that; Harris is unlikely to run again, and they don't need to punish her anymore. So now it's more about finding leverage over the media outlets, and this same case can be re-used to that purpose.

Something I have been wondering about for a while.... Does Godwin's law apply when such comparisons are actually justified? Like I said, just wondering...

Remember to thank some "uncommitted" and "protest" voters who have landed us in this boat. And remember to never, ever trust any of those magas who spent so much time bleating about freedom.
One thing we need to remember "next time" (whenever that is), is to not just repair things and start following rules again- but to actively, systematically, and aggressively punish these fascists first.

Are we going to harp about Hillary too?

All it ever seems to say in its interviews are brainless ramblings... Not much point getting those recordings, they're probably just the same garbage it spews during all the other interviews, speeches and so on...

What I don't understand is that all of the "left" media held Harris' feet to the fire WAAAAAYYY more than anyone held Trump accountable. I think the 'left" media (all except Fox?) were only pretending. They were active participants in the whole "Biden is old and of questionable mental state", but stopped saying a single word about Trump after Biden dropped out. They helped create the narrative.

They won everything. They have complete control of the entire government from top to bottom. They can literally do anything they want and no one can stop them.
And yet, they do nothing but complain, complain, complain.
They have no interest in governing. They have no interest in actually doing anything. Just complain, complain, complain.
I guess this is the definition of a sore winner.

According to Mike Godwin, who also wants everyone to stop making him the arbiter of how to apply Godwin's Law, Godwin's Law doesn't apply when the people you're comparing to Nazis are actually Nazis. It's only appropriate to invoke the rule when someone is making a frivolous comparison:

One thing you have to remember about this administration-- they don't care if there's no basis to their claims. It's all about optics of doing a intimidation shakedown against everyone non-MAGA.

"For years, the leftists have pursued me with a relentless storm of baseless witch-hunts. Now it's my turn!" - Funnily enough, a more eloquent, honest, and smarter version of Donald Trump than the one we got.

So I guess Trump can reinstate it, since Congress didn't create it in the first place?
Seems like a bit of convenient outrage, which is not new and has been brought up by partisans on both sides multiple times over the intervening years. Both parties had multiple chances to reinstate it, if they so wished, and neither decided to codify it.
That said, the equal time rule still applies, so I guess they attack it from the perspective of whether it counts as a bonna fide interview (e.g. determining whether it was partisan or not).
