TRANSCRIPT:
BERMAN: “Look, Fox needs to reckon with the lies that it spread, and it may literally have to pay for the lies that it spread, but is it the role of government officials to demand that media organizations say things or tell media organizations what to put on their airwaves?”
Schumer: “Well, you know, it’s hardly the first time that people have said Channel 4 should have done this, The New York Times should have done that. That’s not unusual, but what has happened here is, John, very unusual. This is not simply telling them what to do. This is telling them, showing them that they have hurt our democracy probably the way no other actor, maybe with the exception of Donald Trump who used them, has done. And so, when it’s that vital, I think we not only have a right to tell Rupert Murdoch and Fox what to do, but an obligation. And I hope people from one end of the country to the other will call up Fox and say, do what Leader Hakeem Jeffries and I asked for, which is stop the lies, say they were wrong and report the news. You may have a different way of reporting the news than someone else, fine. But lying is not part of that different way and cannot be.”
