It was the journalism fail heard around the world. CBS News’ long-running show “60 Minutes” interviewed Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris in early October—but presented two different versions of her answering a question about Israel.

Where is the lawsuit filed? NY? If so, his chance of winning anything is pretty remote. On the other hand discovery might be entertaining.
