FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez Will Fight for Press Freedom—Until Trump Fires Her

And that is still open.

FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez Will Fight for Press Freedom—Until Trump Fires Her

That still hasn't been dismissed, even though we all saw the transcript and the actual video of the entire interview.

And it was very clear that there was no manipulation there, no intention to mislead the public.

Uncanny Valley | WIRED
FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez Will Fight for Press Freedom—Until Trump Fires Her

It was simply that they cut

the interview for promotional purposes, for length purposes.

Uncanny Valley | WIRED
FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez Will Fight for Press Freedom—Until Trump Fires Her

We saw that also against ABC and NBC as well.

Uncanny Valley | WIRED
FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez Will Fight for Press Freedom—Until Trump Fires Her

Yes.

Well, part of the problem, of course, is that CBS's parent, Paramount, and the owner really wanted to sell Paramount to Skydance.

And so I believe that keeping open this complaint and taking very public actions to waive...

that their possible violation of the FCC's rules, even though it was completely baseless, was used in part to pressure Paramount to settle the lawsuit that the president had filed against Paramount.

And Paramount did, in fact, settle that lawsuit because it wanted the FCC to approve the transfer of its licenses to Skydance.

And as soon as they settled that, the FCC approved the transfer.

But not only did they approve the transfer, CBS made commitments to take actions to basically change their editorial practices.

And they appointed an ombudsperson who's supposed to field complaints about the content of CBS.

And they agreed to eliminate their diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.

All of this was pressured by this administration in order to both settle, I think, the lawsuit, I believe that, and as well as in order to get CBS to change its editorial practices.

Uncanny Valley | WIRED

We have seen that happen, and yet somehow this Ombudsman person doesn't seem to be doing anything about that.

Uncanny Valley | WIRED
FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez Will Fight for Press Freedom—Until Trump Fires Her

Well, with Paramount in particular, and in particular the Paramount Skydance transaction, I demanded and was able to get that the full commission would actually approve the transaction, would vote on the transaction, because I dissented on the order that approved the transfer of the licenses.

Uncanny Valley | WIRED

So on one commissioner, right now there's only three.

I forgot to mention that earlier.
