CBS Refusal To Release 60 Minutes Harris Transcript

President Trump’s criticism of the CBS "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris has triggered the predictable legacy media meltdown. It’s unfortunate. Trump and Harris supporters should demand CBS come clean about why the network significantly altered Harris’ responses on the Biden-Harris administration’s relationship with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

It gets worse. In the prime time "60 Minutes" broadcast, CBS removed Harris’ second answer from the preview clip and swapped in a statement the vice president made in response to a different question. In the substitute answer, Harris declares that the Gaza war must end: “We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”

This tactical move is ethically bankrupt and journalistically indefensible.

Thank you for posting this. 60 Minutes has been editing interviews and quoting out of context for decades. When confronted, they just hide behind all the "awards" they've won, as if that justifies everything. I'll never understand why anyone, regardless of political affiliation, takes their "journalism" seriously, other than for entertainment purposes.

We don't have journalism in America anymore.

The Democrat media rectum hard at work.

There are many innocent reasons to do some editing to an interview, like fitting a time slot.

Ethics were never part of the journalism. It is just a job like any other. Journalists are paid to write what their editors want.

I think the message that journalism is sacred is mainly from mainstream media themselves.
