The Federal Communications Commission received a formal complaint on October 16 from the American Center for Rights, which calls for an investigation into the possibility

The difference between night and day

“CBS should lose its license.”
Version of the interview that appeared in the air
It is reflected in the official CBS News transcript It was edited as Harris responded, “I am not going to stop pursuing what is necessary to make it clear where we stand about the need for this war to end,” Ta.
From the live footage it is clear that Harris actually responded with one of her signature word salads.
Well, Bill, the work we did has brought about a lot of moves that were very urged in the area by Israel. And we're not going to stop doing that. We are not going to stop pursuing what is needed for the United States to clarify how this war is needed to end.
Harris's answer to Whitaker's question about what the US can do to prevent the Israeli Hamas war from “spinning out of control” was relatively concise in the operating version originally aired by CBS News. In fact, it was another meandering mess.
Here's Harris' response, who originally appeared on CBS News:
Now, let's start on October 7th. 1,200 people were massacred. 250 hostages, including Americans, were taken. Women are brutally raped and, as I said, I insist that Israel has the right to protect itself. We would. And how important is that? Too many innocent Palestinians were killed. This war must end.
Here's what Harris actually said:
Now, let's start on October 7th. Clearly, what we're doing now must be in the context of what happened. And when I looked back a year ago, 1,200 people were massacred – the youth of the festival, the music festival took 250 hostages, including Americans, and women were brutally raped. And, like I said, I insist that Israel has the right to protect itself. We would. And how important is that? And as we fast forward to what we saw in the weeks and months that followed, too many innocent Palestinians were killed. And we know that, and I think I most agree, this war must end. And it must be our number one essential, and it is our number one essential. How can we end this war? Well, the key element of that is that we must complete hostage trade and ceasefire contracts. We need it – we need to get help. We must establish a path to a solution to two states.
CBS News originally made it seem like Harris said in response to Whitaker's question about whether Harris is owing any kind of shaking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. principle. ”
In reality, Harris will mostly dodge the problem and discuss the perceived need to provide military assistance to Israel, self-defense against Israel's missile attacks, and pressure Israel to end the war. did.
President Donald Trump It is attracting attention In a Truth Social Post on Thursday, “CBS and 60 minutes scam the public by doing something they've never seen before. And the answers taken from another part of the interview.

More gas lights
CBS News doubled its denial of fraud on Wednesday.
