'60 Minutes' Caught Editing Kamala's Interview Responses
PJ Media ^ | 10/08/2024 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 10/08/2024 1:15:55 PM PDT by Signalman

As we previously reported, Kamala Harris did an interview with Bill Whitaker on "60 Minutes' and it was a complete disaster. During the interview, Kamala Harris struggled when asked substantive questions. She notably avoided directly calling Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu an ally, despite the U.S. providing Israel with billions in military aid. Her vague responses did little to clarify her stance, especially when pressed on Netanyahu’s defiance of U.S. calls for a ceasefire.

She was no better on domestic issues, Harris faced scrutiny over her economic plans, which could add $3 trillion to the deficit. Her typical talking points about taxing the rich failed to satisfy Whitaker, who pointed out Congress’s lack of support for her proposals. When asked why the administration only recently cracked down on asylum seekers despite a surge in border crossings, Harris deflected by blaming Congress and Donald Trump.

But the most damaging part of the interview came when Harris was questioned about her flip-flopping on major policies like fracking and immigration. Instead of directly addressing these changes, she offered evasive answers about traveling the country and listening to people, raising doubts about her consistency.

But the real interview was likely so much worse than what was broadcast. You see, '60 Minutes' has been caught editing Kamala Harris's responses in true Orwellian fashion.

Even with an earpiece, “they still couldn’t stop her from looking like a blithering, blundering idiot”

FTA ....

Check out the following exchange that was posted on social media before the interview aired:

KAMALA on ISRAEL: 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.

WHAT? 😳 pic.twitter.com/7PWQ0JcLAr

This was a nonsensical word salad that didn’t make much sense. So ‘60 Minutes’ decided to do what passes for journalism these days and literally edited the interview, splicing her response to a different question in place of that monstrosity.

But that’s not the version of the interview that was aired.

Here’s a video showing what transpired in the interview, and then what was actually aired:

Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone.

Here’s a transcript of the real interview:

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.

Now, here’s a transcript of the broadcasted interview:

BILL WHITAKER: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.

KAMALA 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.

CBS News’s transcript of the interview also features the edited version.

Make no mistake, neither answer was good, but the folks on the editing floor at CBS News clearly felt the revised version made her look marginally better.

The question is, what other edits were made to this interview?

You’d think just for the sake of appearances, they’d have her wear a different pair of earrings. I guess they just don’t care what we might realize or suspect.

She has worn them at least 10 times in recent interviews/appearances, if now more. Someone asked, What woman only owns ONE pair of earrings?

Here she is talking on a pair of earrings ... it's blurry so hard to tell if they're the same ones, as the poster claims ...

These look just like the earrings Kamala was wearing during the debate. She is clearly talking to someone who is speaking to her through an ear piece. Hmmm 🧐

Wow! That’s criminal deception. Trump should sue them to get it out there.

Proof that “60 Minutes” is a leftist partisan hack on a leftist partisan network.

Their whining why Trump canceled took up more time than the Kum-onya interview.

I said they would do this when the news about her being on 60 minutes came out. It is not live. And of course they are going to edit it to make her look as good as they can.

Hoghly illegal. They all need prison time for election interference. Also, pull the station’s license. Of course this will only happen after Trumpnis elected. These commies need to be beat down hard.

The whole idea of a free and unbiased media is a fairly modern construct. The press has historically been incredibly biased; most of the parties had their own papers in the major cities. This started to change with the advent of “national” media such as radio and “wire services.”

Now that almost anyone can call themselves a news service, it makes sense that the press reverts back to their original role as the “mouthpiece” for the party.

With that in mind, why would anyone be surprised that 60 minutes would present a biased view?

No, the question is why are they editing her responses and passing them off as her words? The American voter should see exactly how vacuous this lady is. I sure don't want someone this inept walking around with the nuclear codes!

Mockingbird Media.

It is a conspiracy but it is not at all a theory.
