A statement from 60 Minutes

Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false.

60 Minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to Face the Nation that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes. Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response. When we edit any interview, whether a politician, an athlete, or movie star, we strive to be clear, accurate and on point. The portion of her answer on 60 Minutes was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide ranging 21-minute-long segment.

Remember, Mr. Trump pulled out of his interview with 60 Minutes and the vice president participated.

Our long-standing invitation to former President Trump remains open. If he would like to discuss the issues facing the nation and the Harris interview, we would be happy to have him on 60 Minutes

That statement isn’t even a joke?

They edited it on 60 minutes itself, their own show everyone watched.

Apologie Fisrt.

60 minutes is lying. They are lying for Kamala.

“The portion of her answer on 60 Minutes was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects...”

Her rambling word salad answers IS the subject.

So you admit it!

[KarlInOhio]

Release the unedited tapes so we can see how you edited her word salad.

And anyone on our side interviewed by anyone, be sure to have your team making a parallel recording of the interview so that any defamatory editing can be exposed. If they don't allow you to record it or try to interfere with the recording, stop the interview immediately.

[The Unknown Republican]

Yeah, they call it a lie in the first paragraph but then later admit it.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

The time it took to craft the disingenuous response belies its BS.

The truth takes milliseconds.

[SunkenCiv]

Deceptive? Deception? CBS lied, and they're lying now.

[mbrfl]

In other words they edited out the portion where she made a fool of herself.

[Billthedrill]

Sounds to me like Trump was “lying” when he said that they did something that they actually did. When you’re the media you get to make words mean whatever you want.

[mbrfl]

Good point.

[Henchster]

EVERY SINGLE ANSWER that Kamala gave was edited. Even if it was just cutting out the cackling at the end, or the long deer-in-the-headlights pause at the beginning, or where she needs to look down at her notes to remind herself not to speak the truth, CBS edited the interview.

They are flat-out lying, which is exactly what you would expect from the “Fake, but accurate” network.

[mmichaels1970]

In other words they edited out the portion where she made a fool of herself.

Yup. They removed the “blithering idiot” part and replaced it with what they deemed was “more succinct”. ie - deceptive editing.

Wow - EVERYBODY can do the word salad, thanks to Commie-La!

[mbrfl]

Misleading edits have been 60 Minutes’ hallmark for as long as they’ve been on air.

[bray]

They are lying as usual.

They didn't edit it, except for the particular segment of her answer to the same question, that changed the appearance and tenor of her answer from one of deception and dismissal to one of ... er... fraud.
