CBS News pushed back against former President Trump’s claim that “60 Minutes” deceitfully edited its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, dismissing the allegation as “false” in a statement released Sunday.
After weeks of staying mum despite mounting backlash over the interview, CBS published a statement Sunday evening addressing the outrage that ensued after airing two different answers to the same question in the “60 Minutes” interview earlier this month with the Democratic nominee.
“Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false,” the statement began.
“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.”

"False" in the sense that it wasn't deceitful editing, it was gleeful editing ....
Yep. So double down and accuse the other party of what they themselves are doing.
Would they have given Trump the same ‘edit’ ?...................I think not!...............
One issue was they edited the interview to give two different answers to the same question. But who you gonna believe, the CBS liberals, or your lying eyes?
LOL CBS’s own article basically says, imho, yes we edited her interview but it was false to say it was deceitful because everyone knows we openly lie.
So what they are saying is it is false to say they deceitfully lie, they instead lie openly.
Sounds like an Illegal In Kind Political contribution and maybe a criminal investigation is warranted to get the Truth...
Just so much horse pucky until they release the original in full. So CBS, if you didn’t do anything you shouldn’t, why are scared to show the whole thing?
By this standard you can give them a rambling 40 minute answer to any question and expect them to excerpt it down to five or 10 words?
Tampering with interviews through editing is nothing new at the Crapppy Broadcasting System.
I recall they asked HW Bush for an interview in the 80s, his only request was it be broadcast from start to finish unedited......cbs refused......pretty obvious to me as to why.
Just like with Dan Rather (regarding Bush’s fake draft letter), CBS has NO CHOICE (as they see it) except to double-down on their campaign tactics, or else lose all credibility, bringing down the rest of media with them, and wind up giving Trump a 10 point boost.
Don’t laugh, TENS OF MILLIONS of Americans still trust the US Media, maybe not many here (except on Ukraine, LOL), but many, many, others, especially older people.
This is why they need to be SHUT DOWN.
They tried to stonewall hoping it would go away. It didn’t, so they were forced to issue a lie.
“That is false,” the statement began.”
No, it is most certainly not false.
Hopefully the American people can see the propaganda now. It’s getting pretty damn obvious.
Actually, I’m not sure it could get more obvious.
Didn’t 41 fight with Dan Rather in early 1988?
Any one that saw both clips KNOWS that this statement is false.
Same question...OK, same answer, not even close and it was not edited for brevity, it was edited because the 'word salad' was typical kamala without a ven diagram.
Trump should sue cbs and start suing these others that are dragging him through the courts on phony charges.
Only if you’re a communist.
If you’re not a communist, they play the whole thing. And edit in a blowfly that lands on your nose.
The SeeBS Enemedia are still lying.
Lyin' Danny Rather's old place of employment just LOVES to interfere in "elections".
CBS is admitting it edited Harris’ answer to make her look better. What is unsaid is that they would never do that for Trump...
A staffer probably has a little tin full of blowflies and lets one out in the studio when a conservative is on.
