As noted by Deadline, news interviews have long been exempt from this rule, with talk shows seemingly included under this umbrella. “If you’re fake news, you’re not going to qualify for the bona fide news exemption,” Carr said at the time. Donald Trump’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV.”Update, February 17th: Added details regarding the statement from CBS.
