Strange Bedfellows: FCC’s ‘60 Minutes’ Probe Brings Advocacy Orgs Together to Sound Alarm About First Amendment Threat
The FCC's probe of the '60 Minutes' Kamala Harris interview has brought range of advocacy orgs to sound the alarm about the First Amendment threat.
Conservative lobbyist Matt Mackowiak, a former George W. Bush administration official, worries that the partisan jousting over the “news distortion claim” will come back to haunt Republicans. A comment identified as coming from Jules Wang declared: “As a citizen of the United States and longtime consumer of current affairs and news from the major networks of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, and others, I see no reason for this probe to continue. I would sincerely hope that the FCC finally takes a stand and imposes the kind of punishment on the program that not only makes a statement for the rest of the activist media, but lets CBS News and 60 Minutes know that this type of deception will no longer be tolerated.”
