CBS News will provide the Federal Communications Commission with the transcript and camera feeds from a "60 Minutes" interview at the center of a complaint alleging news distortion.

The FCC sent a letter of inquiry on Wednesday demanding the "full, unedited transcript and camera feeds" from an October interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris about her candidacy for president.

"We are working to comply with that inquiry as we are legally compelled to do," CBS News said in a statement.

The Center for American Rights, a conservative law firm, filed the FCC complaint on Oct. 16. It was dismissed on Jan. 16 but was subsequently reopened by newly appointed FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, just days after President Donald Trump took office.

Mr. Trump sued CBS News in a Texas federal court in late October, alleging the network's editing of the Harris interview intentionally misled the public and unfairly disadvantaged him. He's seeking $10 billion in damages.

These propagandists for Davos Man, need be round up and jailed indefinitely - the precedent has been set. Insurrection, apparently is any speech the present government doesn't like. So let's run with it.

A few executions for Treason would do well, too. And I don't mean the brain-dead suits on cameras. Go right to the top; to CEOs and chief stockholders. That would reduce Larry the Fink and Warren the Buffet to their elements.

I am fresh out of sympathy or even dedication to "justice." Our system is gone; Rule of Law is done.

Now it's might-makes-right and it's time to put paid to the debt they owe the society they killed. I am coming to understand, now, how good men could become part of lynch mobs.
