Democratic senators sent a letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr accusing him of weaponizing the agency, one example being the investigation into CBS over its editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris. Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), Sen. Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM) and Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) called the move “nothing more than a fishing expedition, creating a veneer of government legitimacy for a pressure campaign against independent journalism.” The FCC’s decision to open investigations into PBS and NPR over their underwriting practices was also cited as an intimidation tactic.

Starz has acquired the rights to All Fours, Miranda July’s novel about a woman at a turning point in her life who embarks on a journey of self-discovery. And the author, for one, couldn’t be happier. “I’m thrilled that All Fours has found a home at Starz,” said July. “I had an electric feeling from the moment we met; it was clear we were speaking the same language. Rather than shying away from all the messy contradictions within sexuality and desire, Starz really digs into the reality of who women are and what we want, which makes it the perfect place to bring my novel to life. This is going to be wild.”
