FCC chair says ’all options" open in CBS ’60 Minutes’ news distortion review

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The chair of the Federal Communications Commission said Monday "all options remain on the table" in the agency’s ongoing investigation into a "60 Minutes" interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

FCC (BME: FCC ) Chair Brendan Carr last month rejected a bid from CBS, which is owned by Paramount Global, to dismiss the complaint alleging the Harris interview violated the FCC’s "news distortion" rules. Paramount is seeking FCC approval for an $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media. Carr said Monday he has not yet reviewed the complaints and did not give a timeline for making a decision.
