Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : FCC investigates CBS News: News network submits records of Kamala Harris' '60 Minutes' spot CBS' long-running prime time news show became a lightning rod for Trump, who repeatedly assailed the network on the campaign trail over the episode, threatening to revoke CBS' broadcasting license if elected.
40% : The Center for Individual Freedom, Americans for Tax Reform, Taxpayers Protection Alliance and other groups last week called on Carr to reject the complaint, saying an "adverse ruling against CBS would constitute regulatory overreach and advance precedent that can be weaponized by future FCCs."
17% : Last week, Trump again attacked "60 Minutes," saying it aired two inaccurate stories about him, and he has pressed the Federal Communications Commission to take action.
