CBS News Slapped with FEC Complaint After “60 Minutes” Selectively Edits Kamala Harris’s Interview to Make Her Sound Coherent and Lucid
This was the definition of election interference.
Last week fake news 60 Minutes was caught editing Kamala’s interview answers to make her sound coherent and normal.
In fact, it was so bad that ’60 Minutes’ spliced her nonsensical answer and replaced it with a completely separate sentence she said earlier in the interview.
The CBS news magazine cut Kamala’s nonsense answer on Israel and replaced it with a completely separate sentence she said earlier in the interview…
Mixing and matching questions and answers is not journalism… It’s fraud.
Here is the original 60 Minutes exchange:
Bill Whitaker: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening?
Kamala 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.
And here is ’60 Minutes” edited exchange:
Bill Whitaker: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening?
Kamala Harris: 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.
You can NEVER trust 60 Minutes again to provide you with unbiased news and unedited clips from previously recorded interviews.

This is not the first time 60 Minutes cheated and lied to their audience to interfere in an election.
In 2017, 60 Minutes host Lesley Stahl lectured President Trump and told her audience that Barack Obama never spied on his campaign.
She knew it wasn’t true but lectured President Trump anyway. She has yet to apologize to Americans for this horrendous lie.
Now it looks like their lies are catching up to them. CBS was hit with a FCC complaint for their manufactured reports by the Center for American Rights this week.
FOX News reported:
CBS News has been accused of "significant and intentional news distortion" in a formal complaint the Center for American Rights filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Wednesday...
... The Center for American Rights, also known as CAR, argued that the discrepancies "amount to deliberate news distortion — a violation of FCC rules governing broadcasters' public interest obligations."
The complaint insisted CBS release the unedited transcript of the interview to set the record straight, which echoes calls from former President Trump and many others.
"This isn’t just about one interview or one network," CAR president Daniel Suhr said in a statement.
"This is about the public’s trust in the media on critical issues of national security and international relations during one of the most consequential elections of our time," Suhr continued. "When broadcasters manipulate interviews and distort reality, it undermines democracy itself. The FCC must act swiftly to restore public confidence in our news media."
