Incoming FCC Chairman Brendan Carr Says ’60 Minutes’ Complaint “Likely To Arise” As Part Of Agency Review Of Skydance-Paramount Merger
Updated, with additional comments: Brendan Carr, Donald Trump’s pick to serve as chairman of the FCC, said that the agency would examine a complaint over the way that 60 Minutes edited an interview with Kamala Harris as it reviews the merger of Skydance with Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS.
In an interview with Fox News’ America’s Newsroom, Carr said, “Broadcasters are differently situated to other speakers. They get free access to a valuable public resource, the airwaves, and they’re licensed by the FCC. We take a look at that and we reinvigorate it. There’s also a news distortion complaint at the FCC still, having to do with CBS, and CBS has a transaction before the FCC, and I’m pretty confident that that news distortion complaint over the 60 Minutes transcript is something that is likely to arise in the context of the FCC review of that transaction.
