WASHINGTON, July 16 (Reuters) - Two Democratic senators on Wednesday urged Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr to end investigations into media outlets, including CBS News.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Ed Markey in a letter to Carr urged the commission "to end its partisan attacks on CBS and cease interfering with the judgment of independent news organizations." They cited Fox News' editing of a 2024 interview with then candidate President Trump in suggesting a double standard as it investigates CBS's "60 Minutes" editing of an interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.
