CBS News is shaking up its policy regarding interviews on Face the Nation.
On Friday, September 5, the network announced that it will no longer edit taped interviews with guests. The change comes after Face the Nation was criticized for airing an edited-down, prerecorded interview with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
“In response to audience feedback over the past week, we have implemented a new policy for greater transparency in our interviews,” CBS News told multiple outlets in a statement on Friday. “Face the Nation will now only broadcast live or live-to-tape interviews (subject to national security or legal restrictions). This extra measure means the television audience will see the full, unedited interview on CBS and we will continue our practice of posting full transcripts and the unedited video online.”

They had to be forced into this? They had to be told not to deceptively edit their interviews?
“the network announced that it will no longer edit taped interviews with guests”
Chuck Todd must be spending in his grave ... oh wait, Chuck isn’t dead yet ...
They won’t stop.
Their DNA won’t let them.
They go live and raw. Or the smell of burnt toast is in the air. The interweb did all of us a huge favor. We don’t need these clowns.
Somebody high on the CBS news ladder is approving all the underhanded BS. That’s the person that must be identified and called out. Otherwise it will never stop.
“They won’t stop.”
**********
Although they may change their editing practices they will simply interrupt and talk over any interviewee who tries to make a counter-argument or present facts that conflict with the network’s ingrained liberal views. They have no intention of providing a fair and balanced forum for conservatives.
They know. They’ve known for years. Dan Rather wanted to interview George Bush Sr, and he agreed but only only on the condition it was a live interview. Being an old CIA hand George knew how the game is played. Not really a compliment, by the way.
“ They had to be forced into this? They had to be told not to deceptively edit their interviews?”
Yup. Notice they didn’t apologize.
MSNBC writer: “I can’t stand it. They’ve even got CBS news turning honest. They’re gonna run us Marxist propaganda experts off the air if they don’t stop this trend.”
“And I still hate the stupid new name for the network.”
Doessn’t Margaret Brennan host that show?
I wonder what her opinion is?
Why we have no TV
The bloods in the water. The lamestream media and press who have built them selves up as the arbiters of truth have because of there own lapses in morals and character have painted huge targets on their backs. Look at the 2019 Lincoln Memorial confrontation, the suits against the view and many many others.
The Harris interview cost the lame stream media plenty and now they do it again!?!?!?!?!?
I will say it again.
We need the FCC to enforce truth and accuracy in reporting, edit as you wish but that editing must be noted and the full text, full video must be available for review. With the internet and cloud storage this is no longer a undo burden and is needed now to stop the wholesale fabrication of news and events.
Corrections or miss statements MUST be given the same amount of play as the WRONG or INCORRECT statements or videos when broadcast the first time, be it 10 minutes, 20 minutes 30 minutes if the media source trumped it MUST be one to one.
If they the media did a 1 hour broadcast that was wrong, incorrect or lies then they must do a second broadcast of 1 hour at the same time slot explaining that they were wrong, incorrect or had lied.
A large banner should be run at the bottom of any video STATING that the SOURCE is unnamed, unverified, if an audio broadcast the statement should be made at the start, at the middle and at the end.
The news media pundits will gnash their collective teeth moaning and groaning and will say this will place a chilling restrain on the freedom of the press. It will not. It will stop them from running head long in to judgment that has elevated numinous numbers of fake stories, staged a hate crimes and out right character assignations accusations that have ruined many innocent lives. They will be forced to fact check diligently because they will be held monetarily and criminally libel for miss-reporting the facts.
Truth in reporting will offer up a shield to the small groups, to individuals, people who have had their lives, liberty's, property, impacted by incorrect reporting without due process of law. Words and actions have consequences.
If any of this is not done then the FCC should fine and or remove and or suspend broadcast licenses. Keep pushing wrong, incorrect or lies in news stories and have your broadcast rights removed.
We have truth in advertising laws, why no accuracy in reporting laws? There has always been yellow journalism that is based upon sensationalism and crude exaggeration. But with the advent of the internet there is almost no ability to get out in front of even boldfaced lies that are pushed today over and over.
There should be no editing or exerting with out posting the entire text or video or audio on line and if there is no confirmation and the source in unknown or not named. That should be flashed at the beginning and end of that report. If a photo is cropped the original should be also available for review.
For to long the public has been denied the full information, the full story and unfortunately as it has been shown time and time again. The news media's take on events can no longer be taken at face value because of paid, yes paid partisan behavior and down right bias.
The news media once would state the facts with no taint of partisanship and now all we get is paid partisanship and fascist like bias. News media sources have become extended commercials of talking heads spewing single twisted points of view shouting down all others in a head long rush to try and brain wash the masses.
All you have to do is listen and you will see that they (The news conglomerates, the multi national media empires) no longer are in it for the truth but have become corrupt with power, influence and money.
It's time to rein them in. If this is not done and done soon the blood in the water will not be a metaphor anymore but a reality. Call someone a radical, a racist, say they are supremacists and other vile erroneous lies you will eventually breed the same thing you rant about. And whoa on to you, when that comes home to roost, heads will not just turn, tongues will not just wag. A real and deadly reckoning will take place and there will be blood.
