In the digital age video editing is non destructive. The original digital file is never actually cut. Making a copy of it is mere seconds and because of the clock that necessarily is on the file any diddling will be evident.

If I were Trump I would take half a billion of this money and put it in a suitcase in $1000 bills. With a phalanx of reporters in tow, take it to Tish James and ask her to keep an eye on it while her case goes through appeals. Then when Trump wins appeal, come back and ask for the suitcase back.

Oh, and, the suitcase has a MAGA sticker on it.

fumed that a payout could have negative ramifications for press freedom to lie through their teeth at will.

Hey, if the CBS staffers are so damn upset they should quit and find a job at some other liberal @$$ kissing media outlet..........if they could find any that were hiring instead of firing. I bet if all of the fuming staffers quit, the management at CBS would have very big smiles at the reduction in payroll.

$10 billion would build several presidential libraries for President Trump.

I’m surprised that the NY Attorney General isn’t charging CBS with violating federal campaign laws. This looks like a slam dunk compared to the Trump non-disclosure case brought for similar reasons. CBS obviously edited the tape to boost Camela’s election campaign.

CBS 60 Min. has been doing stuff like this since the 60’s.

Yep. Walter Cronkite was one of the largest purveyors of propaganda. He had the absolute trust of most of the American public and fed them lie after lie.

Where did you find that? It’s magnificent!

Ronald Reagan should be on there beforehand

There is “free press” and there is libel.

As a publisher, be sure as to what you print or air.

I saw the one that said Obama Head planter; OOOPS I thought it was a URINAL and I had to get rid of that 6 pack.

Cronkite was just another COMMUNIST, glad he’s DEAD!
