... 60 Minutes took the rare action of issuing an official statement on the matter where, when confronted with the indisputable evidence of its selective editing to make Harris more coherent, the show frankly admitted it and doubled down on defense, saying it was a perfectly acceptable edit because it made her seem “more succinct,” thus allowing time for coverage of other issues.

Let us set aside the fact that it is in fact of great and newsworthy importance if Kamala Harris cannot answer a simple question about her Middle East policy without backfiring like an old gasoline-powered lawn mower. Let us forgive the obvious exercise of “news judgment” in a manner so clearly prejudicial in favor of Harris, concealing her most glaring weakness — her vacuous incoherence. Let us instead ask why CBS News and 60 Minutes still refuse to release an unedited transcript of their interview with Harris, despite having done so when Catherine Herridge interviewed Trump for them back in 2020. Imagine what it must conceal.
