CNN’s Stelter: CBS’s Harris Edit ‘Was a Mess,’ But It Was Just ‘Editing’ and FCC Distortion Probe Based on ‘Faulty Premise’
Breitbart ^ | 4 Feb 2025 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 02/04/2025 5:13:07 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live,” CNN Chief Media Analyst Brian Stelter stated that while CBS’s editing of its interview with then-presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris was mistaken and “a mess,” “that’s all it was. It was editing. It wasn’t a conspiracy to help Harris and hurt Trump, and that’s what it’s been turned into by Trump’s team. The fact that his pick for the FCC has decided to investigate this, it shows that everything based on a faulty premise is being taken very seriously by the Trump administration.”

Host Laura Coates asked, [relevant exchange begins around 33:45] “Brian, you spoke with Chairman Brendan Carr about his request for the transcript and also videos of Kamala Harris’ interview, and, of course, the free speech concerns. What did he tell you?”

The Legacy Media was 100% for Harris and everyone knows it. The news coverage was totally skewed. Trump was the worst guy ever. Biden was sharp as a tack. Harris was the best vice president in history. These people did everything they could to help the Democrats.

“It was just editing”? It wasn’t a “conspiracy”?
No one is buying this crap anymore. The corruption is right out there.

How would they know it’s a faulty premise unless they see the full interview transcripts? Should they just take CBS and CNN’s word on it?

What they mean is that Harris received the normal, pro-Democrat “polishing” in the editorial review. The media’s modus operandi for so long has been to make their candidate look good through deceptive editing, they were only following standard procedure. There’s a reason Hollywood is in bed with Dems...they all follow a carefully choreographed script.

Amazing the lengths the Democrats have to go through to be able to sleep at night or face the sunshine of the new day when the Truth hurts so bad.

CNN gets a CNN lackey’s opinion about CBS’ editing of a favored candidate of both. This is what passes for reporting facts and journalism?

Brian the Potato is still relevant?

I thought his ratings were far below The Dryer Lint channel on UHF.
