President of the Federal Communication Commission Brendan Carr Said on Monday that Americans deserve to see the transcription without editing in the center of President Trump’s demand against CBS.
In October, Trump filed a claim of $ 10 billion against CBS News alleging the electoral interference on its management of the interview “60 minutes” with Then Vice President Kamala Harrisaccusing the network to help their democratic rival through the deceptive edition. Trump’s camp has said that CBS essentially transmitted to Harris giving two different answers to the same question, that he raised his eyebrows after his first answer mocked widely as a “word salad.”
Critics accused CBS News of editing Harris’s “word salad” response to protect the vice president from a subsequent reaction. CBS announced on Friday It would fulfill and provide the FCC “the transcription and food of the camera of an ’60 minutes’ interview in the center of a complaint that alleges a news distortion.”

Carr appeared in “America’s Newsroom” of Fox News Channel to explain why seeing the complete transcription is so critical.
“We have sought the without editing of the transcription in the video of this interview. And as part of an FCC investigation, there was a complaint filed under something called the news distortion policy. And that is a 50 -year policy in the FCC that applies to the broadcasters, “Carr told the host Dana Perino.
“And politics says you can’t, you know, change the answers so that it seems that someone said something completely different. The classic case is whether someone says yes to an answer, and I am located in an answer,” he continued, “he continued . You don’t want the FCC to lean too much on this. But here … CBS played the same question in two different programs, and clearly the words of the answers were very different. “
As a result, Carr said the FCC wants to see transcription.
“It is due today, and I hope CBS provides it at the end of the day to see what was in fact said as part of our own news distortion research,” Carr said.
Perino then asked the president of the FCC what kind of consequences CBS could face.

“Well, look, there will be the complete set of FCC options that are on the table that apply to any transmission license. We have obviously not making any decision, but there is no way that the FCC can judge this claim without obtaining a Copy of the transcription, “Carr said.
“You know, at the end of the Biden administration, my predecessor summarily dismissed this complaint, but I am not sure how you can do it without seeing the real video to see what the real answer was,” he added. “Was he edited? Was it, you know, edited for clarity and length, which would be fine. Or are there other reasons why the edition took place?”
Carr said that the FCC will be “open -minded” when it comes to possible consequences and transparency is “incredibly important” when it comes to this type of problem.
“I think the American public finally deserves to see this for himself. And the interesting thing is that CBS releases other transcripts,” Carr said.
Trump’s demand focused on an exchange that Harris had with the “60 minutes” correspondent, Bill Whitaker. In a preview clip that was issued in “Face the Nation”, Harris was asked why it seemed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not listening to the United States.
“Well, Bill, the work we have done has resulted in a series of movements in that region by Israel that were very caused by, or a result of many things, including our defense of what should happen in the region,” Harris responded in the clip “Face the Nation.”
Harris was mocked by conservatives to offering a long “word salad” To Whitaker. But when that same question was issued the next night in the special schedule elections, A shorter and more focused answer The vice president followed him.
“We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we are in the need for this war to end,” Harris said in the stellar schedule special.
CBS previously refuted Trump’s claims.
“The same question. Same answer. But a different part of the answer. When we edit any interview, be it a politic A statement.
