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.”
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.
