One of the two Republican-nominated Federal Communications Commission commissioners told RedState he flagged Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel about the conduct of CBS News, through its owned and operated WCBS-TV outlet, when it heavily edited its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I believe I’m the only one to publicly take up the issue,” said FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington. “That said, I have sent a request to the chairwoman asking for her point of view on this and asking if she would not consider the adequate predicate for additional outreach.”
Simington said the FCC has no authority over internet outlets and networks, like CBS, do not have a broadcast license as a corporation. Rather, the license is held by individual stations, so action must be taken against the station, WCBS-TV, which, in this case, is owned and operated by CBS.
Interesting. 🤔 Big if…
