CBS '60 Minutes' airs two different answers from VP Harris to the same question
Fox News ^ | October 9, 2024 | Brian Flood, David Rutz

CBS aired two different answers to the same question in its "60 Minutes" interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, replacing a clip from the Democratic nominee that aired on "Face the Nation" Sunday when the interview package aired in a primetime special on Monday.

Harris was mocked by conservatives when footage of her offering a lengthy "word salad" that was aired by CBS on Sunday’s "Face the Nation" to promote the "60 Minutes" sit-down, when Bill Whitaker asked why it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t listening to the United States. However, the vice president’s lengthy answer didn’t make the version that aired on Monday night on "60 Minutes" and a shorter, more focused answer to the same question was shown instead.

"Well Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region," Harris responded in the "Face the Nation" version.

Sometimes interviews are edited to save time, but when CBS aired the interview on Monday night, Harris had a different answer to the exact same question.

"We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end," Harris said.

The Trump campaign called for CBS to release the full interview unedited on Tuesday.

"On Sunday, 60 Minutes teased Kamala's highly-anticipated sit-down interview with one of her worst word salads to date, which received significant criticism on social media. During the full interview on Monday evening, the word salad was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala's idiotic response," Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Where did the second version of her answer come from? I don't believe it was the result of editing as Leavitt claims. Did her campaign have her do another answer and then send it to CBS? That would be bizarre.

I read that they took it from elsewhere in the interview and spliced it in there.

Isn’t this election interference?

I think it was editing. She can’t not word salad an interview without a teleprompter. She can’t do live interviews unless she has questions in advance and days to rehearse.

It is fraud to present something as something it is not.

In this case election fraud.

This is something they should lose accreditation for.

Today everything is edited to benefit the current narrative.

The wonders of technology have made it so even the books I bought 15 years ago on my kindle can be edited or removed remotely.

Back when I was much younger I remember the encyclopedia salesmen coming by our house and my parents getting a nice new set.

about 20 years ago my dad found a last year print edition set of britanicas but I do not know what happened to it unfortunately.

The networks are Kamala’s little helpers.

And though she’s not really ill, there’s a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day.

Dan Rather said the CBS camera never blinks. His memoir title.

Maybe it winks for helping a Dem. Especially a historic one.

Classic Smothers Brothers skit of the presidential candidate Pat Paulsen talking out of both sides of his mouth to gain votes.

I recycled mine—new in 1972.

Saved the last volume to cut out the center to hide a handgun in plain sight...

“The wonders of technology have made it so even the books I bought 15 years ago on my kindle can be edited or removed remotely”

Thought provoking.

I think some older books have been revised to eliminate non-woke thoughts.

“the books I bought 15 years ago on my kindle can be edited or removed remotely.”

Last week there was a thread discussing hard copies of books vs digital. I can’t even imagine being in the middle of reading a page and seeing words suddenly change or disappear in front of my eyes. I need to turn physical pages.

Whitaker has probably already been fired.
