The Center for American Rights, also known as CAR, argued that the discrepancies "amount to deliberate news distortion — a violation of FCC rules governing broadcasters' public interest obligations."
The complaint insisted CBS release the unedited transcript of the interview to set the record straight, which echoes calls from former President Trump and many others.
"This isn’t just about one interview or one network," CAR president Daniel Suhr said in a statement.
"This is about the public’s trust in the media on critical issues of national security and international relations during one of the most consequential elections of our time," Suhr continued. "When broadcasters manipulate interviews and distort reality, it undermines democracy itself. The FCC must act swiftly to restore public confidence in our news media."
