FCC Rejects Complaints Over ABC Presidential Debate, Harris Appearances

Source: US News & World Report

“The Federal Communications Commission said Thursday it is rejecting complaints over an ABC-moderated September presidential debate and Vice President Kamala Harris'[s] appearances on CBS'[s] ’60 Minutes’ and NBC’s ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Outgoing FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel also told Reuters the agency was rejecting a petition not to renew the license of a Philadelphia FOX station because the station’s owner Fox also owns Fox News, which was settled a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems over statements around the 2020 presidential election. The announcement comes as President-elect Donald Trump has filed lawsuits against Paramount-owned CBS and in September called on the FCC to cancel licenses for Walt Disney-owned ABC over the network’s moderating of the Sept. 10 presidential debate.” (01/16/25)
