Why Paramount-Skydance Union remains in the Purgatory of FCC

FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, is not impressed with CBS and may be costly for the Tiffany network, has learned the money.

Issuance: A recent push from the Woke TV network for the Federal Communications Commission and Carr to remove its investigation into the alleged violations of the so -called “Public Interest Rules” of the Agency that includes the controversial “60 minutes” interview with Kamala Harris.

Investigation is a injured site injured for the network. Not only is she cast doubt on her domestic ethics, that is, she unjustly edited the interview with the Democratic Candidate prone to make it to make it look good in the 2024 election heat. Also also a key element that holds the FCC approval for the long -term sales of CBS Paramount in the independent studio of Skydance.

In a recent appearance, CBS said that his release of the full transcript of the interview shows that he did nothing wrong in the editing process and the issue should be rejected. Carr summarized the proposal, saying his investigation will continue.

Privately, they have learned about money, he had tougher words for the network bronze.

Carr believes that CBS has done nothing to complete the commission’s investigation, including an adjustment for the alleged prejudice widespread in its programming, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

“The sauté is not close to erase now,” is how a FCC official known to Carr’s thinking put the money. “Now CBS can get inside and make a big offer for remedies tomorrow, but that doesn’t seem to be on the table.”

An FCC spokesman did not return a comment request. A CBS representative refused to comment.

Without discussions of resolution, FCC investigation can be withdrawn for weeks, perhaps months late delaying the paramount-scydance deal.

As reported by money, Skydance – which has not yet to get its hooks in Paramount and may be fighting a rival offer for the media conglomerate – is weighing potential tools to postpone the approval process together, including an ombudsman to monitor CBS news content and ensure that it is without prejudice.

Another main headache for Paramount is President Trump’s $ 20 billion lawsuit against CBS during the Harris interview.

Why any of this issue for union? FCC is the main regulator on the media transmission business that transmits public air waves programming, compared to cable. The agency may deny local broadcasting licenses for companies and disrupt unanswers when there is evidence that news content violates its public interest rules by containing significant political prejudices.

CBS News has been set on fire by conservatives for years for a supposedly left slope in its programming.

Meanwhile, the “60 minutes” interview-Harris has been caught in controversy since it was broadcast on October 7 last. Conservative groups, including the American Rights Center, or Tsar, soon discovered that CBS had previously aired a promotion of the Harris interview, where its answer to a question about the Middle East seemed significantly less coherent than the event was eventually developing in the program.

Car filed a complaint to the FCC that caused the investigation that is now postponing the Skydance-Paramount agreement.
