- The Center for American Rights (CAR) has filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) against CBS, accusing it of “significant and intentional news distortion.”
- CBS aired different parts of Vice President Kamala Harris’ answer to a question about Israel from its ’60 Minutes’ correspondent on two separate occasions.
- The CAR argues that these discrepancies amount to deliberate news distortion, which violates FCC rules governing broadcasters’ public interest obligations.
- The CAR has requested CBS to release the unedited transcript of the interview to set the record straight.
- The controversy began when CBS teased the Harris interview earlier this month on “Face the Nation” with a lengthy response, but aired a shorter, more focused answer on ’60 Minutes.’
- CBS News has not yet responded to the CAR complaint or requests to release the unedited video of the interview.
