Summary
The FCC has demanded CBS provide the full, unedited transcript of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, following a complaint and a lawsuit by Donald Trump.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, appointed by Trump, has reversed past media-related dismissals and launched new investigations into broadcasters.
CBS is also in settlement talks with Trump amid concerns over a pending Paramount-Skydance merger.
Critics argue the FCC’s actions constitute government retaliation against the press, raising concerns over First Amendment protections and media independence.
This is not normal. This is illegal. This is facism.
Well . . . yeah.
Just like we said for the last year.
See, though, the Democrats ran an unlikable candidate. So. You can understand why this lurching hellscape was so necessary.
And black people’s mail in ballots were rejected at a rate NINE TIMES higher than white people’s. There are other little things like this.
Voter suppression gave the Midwest states to Trump. We need to make sure everyone knows it.
The Democrats needed to learn a lesson!
And if we’re lucky, we’ll still get to have elections in a couple years.
