FCC probes editing of 60 Minutes interview as CBS considers settling Trump suit.

Summary

The FCC has demanded CBS provide the full, unedited transcript of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, following a complaint and a lawsuit by Donald Trump.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, appointed by Trump, has reversed past media-related dismissals and launched new investigations into broadcasters.

CBS is also in settlement talks with Trump amid concerns over a pending Paramount-Skydance merger.

Critics argue the FCC’s actions constitute government retaliation against the press, raising concerns over First Amendment protections and media independence.

      Lyrics, to avoid an app:

      [Verse 1] Gonna put you on a forgotten street Give you a lecture about something obsolete Gonna teach you about the freedom of speech Then they’re gonna come and take away the freedom of speech

      Gonna write a song with your point of view Manufacture feelings that feel for you Sung by men who would flog playground juuls, preachy Preeten peacock pecking order they didn’t choose [Refrain] Such is life (x4)

      [Verse 2] Gonna lobby to bloat up a cash cow Feed you poison that they want to allow Then they wrap it up with a pretty bow And then hook you when you’re a baby and you don’t even know

      Gonna give you another group to hate Build a scapegoat thеn they give it a face Nothin’ to do with rеligion or race But it’s corporate politics that got us into this place

      [Outro] Such is life, Such is life! Such is life, So choose life So choose liiiife, choose liiiife! So choose liiiife, choose liiiife Such is life (x4)
