About 21 seconds of this answer were broadcast in a preview of the “Face The Nation” interview. Another seven -second part of the answer broadcast the next day in the episode “60 minutes”.

CBS News and FCC published a transcription of the interview on Wednesday almost simultaneously. In its statement published on the CBS website, the company stated that the transcript shows that “60 minutes” broadcast “was not doctoral or deceptive”.

Mr. Carr said that a complaint could appear in the revision of the agency on a paramount of several billion dollars with Skydance, a Hollywood studio supported by technology Scion David Ellison.
