CBS agrees to hand over ’60 Minutes’ Harris interview transcripts to FCC
AP ^ | 2/1/25 | David Bauder

CBS says it will turn over an unedited transcript of its October interview with Kamala Harris to the Federal Communications Commission, part of President Donald Trump’s ongoing fight with the network over how it handled a story about his opponent.

Trump sued CBS for $10 billion over the “60 Minutes” interview, claiming it was deceptively edited to make Harris look good. Published reports said CBS’ parent company, Paramount, has been talking to Trump’s lawyers about a settlement.

The network said Friday that it was compelled by Brendan Carr, Trump’s appointee as FCC chairman, to turn over the transcripts and camera feeds of the interview for a parallel investigation by the commission. “60 Minutes” has resisted releasing transcripts for this and all of its interviews, to avoid second-guessing of its editing process.

The case, particularly a potential settlement, is being closely watched by advocates for press freedom and by journalists within CBS, whose lawyers called Trump’s lawsuit “completely without merit” and promised to vigorously fight it after it was filed.

Dang what’s 60 Minutes thinking? She has plans on running again in 2028.

They didn’t want to turn it over for a reason. It will show them to be complete liars.

I am sorry. Trump will lose. NO amount of editing could make Heels-Up look good.

Maybe if they dubbed in Amos and Andy audio from the old days they could make her look smarter. They were pretty darn good. (I’ll bet this post makes me look old don’t it?).

LOL no way anybody like you or me is gonna get to see that raw unedited video. CBS will turn it over only with severe restrictions on who is allowed to view it, for the sake of "discovery" in the court case.

They will go scorched-earth to prevent that video becoming public.

“They will go scorched-earth to prevent that video becoming public. “

You think CBS would try that with Trump? That might be a bad idea.

“and camera feeds”

make sure you include this bit every time you comment. FakeMSM keeps omitting it, so make sure everyone is aware of it.

Amos 'N' Andy was a great show, both on radio and TV. The actors playing Amos 'N' Andy laughed all the way to the bank. Like Another black actress, Hattie McDaniel said "I'd rather play a maid than be one". She died very wealthy too.

None of this makes a difference unless they unbias themselves NOW when covering the current administration. :(

#2: "She has plans on running again in 2028."

I'm no expert, but based on 21st century data points, I'd say it's sure death if they try to run another woman. Worse if she is colored.

You don’t think dubbing in Amos N Andy would help huh? Well that’s all I got. Darn it. It’s a shame. She probably missed her big shot. Speaking of big shots, wonder what old Willie Brown is doing now?😉

Maybe we should look for her campaign shortfall in the CBS banking records

She paid them to slice and dice

They keep saying ‘transcripts’ and not the raw video recordings. Completely different things.
