The FCC has <em>\u201ccertainly contemplated the possibility of distortionary reporting taking place via splicing,\u201d<\/em> he explained, noting that in a previous proceeding the commissioners <em>\u201cgave the example of substituting a yes answer to one question or a no answer to an entirely different question.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Simington reminded the audience that the FCC can\u2019t regulate what can be said or written, given that the US has the First Amendment to the Constitution that protects freedom of speech and the press. However, CBS could still find itself in trouble for <em>\u201cabuse of public trust,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI think everyone agrees that deliberately misleading the public is a bad idea,\u201d<\/em> the commissioner said, adding that if CBS did so, Americans should be upset, <em>\u201cbecause people go to the news in order to learn about things that they would never be able to learn about themselves. In other words, going to the news is an act of extending trust. Now, the thing about trust is that once it\u2019s lost, it\u2019s very difficult to regain.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>        <span><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/605772-johnson-cbs-selective-editing\/\">US House speaker blasts CBS for \u2018selectively editing\u2019 interview<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Simington is one of the two Republicans on the five-member FCC. He was appointed by President Donald Trump in 2020. Trump will face Harris in the November 5 election for the White House, after the Democrats pressured President Joe Biden to drop out of the race in July.<\/p>\n<p>Trump accused \u201860 Minutes\u2019 of perpetrating <em>\u201cthe greatest fraud in broadcast history\u201d<\/em> by swapping Harris\u2019 responses. FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel, a Democrat, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/605583-trump-cbs-license-harris-interview\/\">responded by accusing<\/a> the former president of attacking free speech and democracy itself.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe FCC does not and will not revoke licenses for broadcast stations simply because a political candidate disagrees with or dislikes content or coverage,\u201d<\/em> she said last week.<\/p>\n<p>The CAR complaint specifically names WCBS-TV in New York, which is owned and operated by CBS Corporation, rather than an affiliate who could assert plausible deniability. While Simington would not speculate about a possible probe, he said the FCC might levy a fine or place conditions on the network\u2019s license renewal, if CBS is found to have deliberately distorted the Harris interview.<\/p>\n<p>A day before the CAR complaint was filed, House Speaker Mike Johnson accused CBS of selectively and deceptively editing his own interview. The Louisiana Republican offered proof by posting raw footage recorded by his office, alongside what actually aired, on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US broadcaster CBS may have broken FCC rules by deceptively editing its \u201860 Minutes\u2019 interview with the Democrats\u2019 presidential candidate Read Full Article at RT.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
