A conservative watchdog filed a formal complaint with the Federal Communications Commission that accuses CBS of distortion for airing edited answers from Vice President Kamala Harris’ interview on “60 Minutes.”
The Center for American Rights (CAR), a nonprofit law firm, demanded the FCC order WCBS-TV — the network’s New York City station — to release the full, unedited “60 Minutes” interview transcript.
“This isn’t just about one interview or one network,” said CAR president Daniel Suhr.
“This is about the public’s trust in the media on critical issues of national security and international relations during one of the most consequential elections of our time. When broadcasters manipulate interviews and distort reality, it undermines democracy itself. The FCC must act swiftly to restore public confidence in our news media.”
