Well that doesn't look biased at all.
A complaint doesn't mean shit. A bunch of crazy evangelicals fire off complaints every time there's a gay sex scene on television. I always wonder why they're watching.

CBS is facing a formal complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after allegedly editing Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent appearance on ’60 Minutes.’ The network deliberately altered portions of the interview to present Harris in a more favorable light.


The complaint, accessed by Fox News, referenced established FCC guidelines that broadcasters “may not engage in intentional falsification or suppression of news.” It calls on the FCC to “direct CBS to release the complete transcript.”


“The need for the Commission’s action is strengthened by CBS’s refusal thus far to release the transcript, which it has done in similar interviews in the past,” the complaint noted. FCC complaints of this nature are rare, but they have the potential to result in fines or other penalties if the commission finds evidence of unethical broadcasting practices.

Didn't CBS have a kerfuffle over forged documents and spurious allegations by Dsn Rather against George W. Bush during his first run for president?

Reaching further back:

My recollection (I could be wrong) is that bqck in the 1970s, CBS news did an expose on cars that explded when in a rear end accident. They couldn't get it to happen on film and so rigged a car to blow up with a pyrotechnic device . . .and they got caught.
