CBS News Gives Deceptive Excuse For Differing Harris Answers
CBS still hasn’t released the full uncut transcript.
60 Minutes claimed it did not cut or change VP Kamala Harris’s response to Bill Whitaker’s statement, “But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.”
60 Minutes said (emphasis mine):
Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false.
60 Minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to Face the Nation that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes. Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response. When we edit any interview, whether a politician, an athlete, or movie star, we strive to be clear, accurate and on point. The portion of her answer on 60 Minutes was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide ranging 21-minute-long segment.
The program lied in its statement.
The deception came out because 60 Minutes tweeted a portion of its interview with Harris before it aired.
WHITAKER: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
HARRIS: Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.
WHITAKER: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
HARRIS: We are not gonna stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.
I transcribed the entire clip 60 Minutes posted on X. I don’t see that sentence in my piece.
You just dug your hole deeper, CBS. Not cool.
Wow. Here’s what happened. 60Minutes released a preview of the Kamala interview before it aired. Netanyahu word salad clip got dunked on relentlessly. So… 60Minutes cut it from the version which actually aired on TV. Makes you wonder what else was left on the cutting room floor. https://t.co/n1nd1Iz26z

Here’s the Trump campaign response to a ridiculous statement from 60 Minutes that was actually an admission of guilt and not a denial: https://t.co/kj5BvsdJ3l pic.twitter.com/SMBcMIsn2y

CBS and the rest could help save any shred of credibility by refraining from the attempt to drag a dead horse over the finish line.
BS News (formerly known as CBS News) continues to cement its place in journalism history.
See BS news is a common name for them.
A Trump victory in November will be an extinction event for the dinosaur media, similar to the asteroid that did in the actual dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Let’s pray that it isn’t instead an extinction plan for us. From what I am seeing, the Asheville, NC crowd of insulated hippie throwbacks are not going to take a Trump win peacefully.
Those of us in Western NC not in Asheville are more than content to let them riot and burn down their town Just don’t come to ours. We will be waiting.
If the retards want to burn down their own towns, let them. If they come to mine, they will get shot
I dindt to nuffin’, man.
The more newsworthy part is what they left out. It show what an idiot Harris is, which is more important than the short boilerplate CBS actually presented.
I guess her answer did not make it past The Race And Culture Unit.
And don’t think I am being facetious. This desk can literally change the “news”. It can fire the president of CBS.
