When 60 Minutes interviewed Kamala Harris, very close to the end of the campaign.
And that's important.
But as this was all happening, Paramount was trying to sell itself to Skydance.
And while they're pursuing this deal, this complaint against 60 Minutes that doesn't go away with Trump's settlement of that lawsuit is dangling out there.
And Brendan Carr says, you know, while that complaint has not been adjudicated, I can take it into account because guess what?
I, Brendan Carr, have a say about whether this deal can go through because Paramount owns television stations.
So Paramount, I'm going to want some things.
Then Daniel Sir gets involved in this process as an outside group, makes filings, declaring we want a news ombudsman who will judge the network for bias.
And so you get a deal, but with these provisions and the new Paramount, the new owners, Ellison's agree to all of them.
That is basically unheard of.
The way that this provision works is government, we don't want to be involved in news.
We have a presumption of good faith.
This has been kind of codified through legal decisions.
But the upshot is we have faith that journalists, when they do the news, they do their jobs responsibly.
It might not be perfect, but we as the government really can't get involved here.
And what Daniel Sir says is they should not be exempt from these rules that apply to entertainment shows.
They do not deserve that presumption of good faith.
other than Daniel and Chairman Carr, I've yet to find a legal expert who said, this is a really good case here.
Mind you, because these things have not been litigated in this way in so long, you're talking to people who haven't even thought about this stuff in like decades.
But anyway, regardless, you don't find many people giving Daniel Sir a ringing endorsement outside of the FCC chair and like-minded individuals.
