(FreePressBeacon.com) – Scoring a new success against the mainstream media, President Donald Trump has seen CBS News surrender its October footage of its Kamala Harris interview to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Trump has ignited a fierce legal battle against CBS News, accusing the network of tampering with an interview to polish Kamala Harris’s public image, potentially swaying the 2024 presidential election.
Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit challenges CBS’s editorial integrity, claiming deceitful editing practices concealed Harris’s flaws.
This high-stakes case questions media fairness and transparency.
In an incendiary lawsuit filed in Texas, Trump argues that CBS edited Kamala Harris’s “60 Minutes” interview to depict her as more articulate than reality.
This dispute has thrust the network into the spotlight, demanding accountability and transparency over its editing methods.
Trump claims CBS’s editing nearly amounts to “partisan and unlawful acts of voter interference,” which could sway public opinion in Harris’s favor at a crucial time.
CBS, defending its editing decisions, states the alterations were for time efficiency, not political bias.
FCC, under Trump-appointed Brendan Carr, will scrutinize the footage to determine if CBS’s actions constituted media manipulation.
“60 Minutes has resisted releasing transcripts for this and all of its interviews, to avoid second-guessing of its editing process,” CBS said, cited by AP News.
The stakes are high as Trump seeks significant damages while also raising broader questions about CBS’s practices.
Paramount, CBS’s parent company, is reportedly in settlement talks with Trump’s legal team, coinciding with its potential sale to Skydance—a strategic move that could impact the network’s future.
Trump’s persistence underscores a larger narrative of distrust between conservatives and mainstream media.

This legal battle isn’t just about monetary compensation but also about unmasking alleged biases that frustrate many American patriots.
This lawsuit raises critical questions about the true role of the media in shaping public perception during pivotal elections.
CBS’s defense rests on time constraints, but Trump’s accusations challenge the essence of journalistic objectivity.
The verdict of this case could have implications far beyond just the involved parties, possibly reshaping media conduct for future elections.
