Chairman of the Federal Communication Committee Brendan Car He said on Monday that the Americans deserve to see the unfair text at President Trump's claim against CBS.
In October, Trump filed a $ 10 billion lawsuit against CBS News claiming that elections are interfering in dealing with a “60 -minute” interview with The president at the time, Kamala HarrisHe accused his democratic competitor's assistance network through deceptive liberation. The Trump camp said that CBS mainly broadcast Harris while giving two different answers to the same question, which raised the eyebrows after its first first answer like “Word Authority”.
Critics CBS News accused the “Word Salry” answer to the Vice President's shield from another reaction. CBS Announced It would comply with the Federal Communications Committee “with copying and camera in an” 60 -minute “interview at a complaint center claiming to distort news.

Carr appeared on the American news room of Fox News to explain the reason why seeing the full text is very important.
“We have searched for an informed version of the text in the video of this interview. As part of the Federal Communications Committee, there was a complaint filed according to something called the news distortion policy. This is a 50 -year -old policy in FCC. This applies to broadcasters,” Car told Dana. Perino.
“The policy says that you cannot, as you know, switch the answers to make it look as if someone said something completely different. The classic situation is if someone says yes to the answer, and you formulate an answer,” continued. ” . You do not want the Federal Communications Committee to tend strongly on this. But here … CBS played the same question on two different programs, and it is clear that the words of the answers were completely different.
As a result, Car said that the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) wants to see the text.
“It is scheduled today, and I expect CBS to provide it by the end of the day to find out what was actually said as part of our investigation in the news,” Car said.
Then Perino, Chairman of the Federal Communications Committee, asked about any kind of consequences that CBS can face.

“Well, see, there will be a full set of FCC options on the table that applies to any licensee. A copy of the text.
He added: “You know, at the end of the Biden administration, my ambassador rejected this complaint with brief procedures, but I am not sure how to do this without seeing the actual video to find out what a real answer is.” “Was it liberated? Was it, as you know, were edited for clarity and length, which will be good. Or are there other reasons for the liberation?”
Carr said that the Federal Communications Committee is “open” when it comes to possible consequences and transparency “incredibly important” when dealing with this type of issue.
“I think that the American public ultimately deserves to see this for themselves. What is interesting is that CBS issues other texts,” Car said.
