CBS News breaks its silence over editing allegations in '60 Minutes' interview with Harris
SUMMARY
CBS News responded to former President Donald Trump's claims that its "60 Minutes" interview with Vice President Kamala Harris was deceptively edited, denying any wrongdoing. Trump accused the network of intentionally cutting Harris' lengthy, incoherent response to make her appear more competent, calling it "a giant Fake News scam" and demanding CBS lose its broadcasting license. The Trump campaign argued that CBS essentially admitted to the deceptive editing by showing two different answers to the same question, accusing the network of bias and attempting to protect Harris. Despite CBS's defense that the edits were made for time constraints, Trump’s supporters continue to demand the release of the full transcript, claiming CBS manipulated the interview to favor the Democratic nominee. Conservative critics have slammed the network for what they see as another instance of media bias, with complaints filed to the FCC for alleged news distortion.
