CBS News is now arguing that the FCC investigation into its “60 Minutes” interview edits violates the First Amendment. After initially denying the edits, they’ve flip-flopped and now play the free speech victim. The media outlet is essentially trying to dodge responsibility for misleading viewers. It’s a classic case of shifting blame and covering up misdeeds.
CBS News requests FCC stop probe into edits of ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.
CBS News is asking the Federal Communications Commission to end its investigation into the edits of its “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris when she was vice president and the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee.
The media outlet argued Monday in its request that such a probe makes the federal government a “roving censor” in violation of the First Amendment.
