Whitaker noted to Harris that it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not listening to the administration.
Trump claims that the show was trying to make Harris appear more presidential.
CBS has not commented, but60 Minutesand other newsmagazines routinely edit interviews for time and clarity.
We also do not review anyones qualifications to gather, edit, announce, or comment on the news.
The exception, the agency noted, is the intentional falsification of the news.
Of particular concern would be evidence of the direction to employees from station management to falsify the news.
However, absent such a compelling showing, the Commission will not intervene, the agency notes.
The commission has fined stations in egregious circumstances.
The segment ran more than 1,700 times.
Trump has threatened the license of networks when he was in the White House.
But his most recent threat isnt just against CBS, but all broadcasters.
The appropriate remedy for perceived bias or unfairness in the media must never be state censorship.
