The full transcript shows the president's complaints about the editing of the interview are not just wildly hyperbolic and legally groundless. They are demonstrably false.

Summary

CBS has released the full transcript of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, refuting Trump’s claims that the network deceptively edited her responses to favor her campaign.

The transcript confirms CBS followed standard journalistic practice by using a “succinct” segment of Harris’ Israel remarks, while Trump has exaggerated and misrepresented the edits.

FCC commissioner Brendan Carr’s decision to revisit the complaint highlights how executive power can serve political vendettas.

Paramount may settle Trump’s lawsuit, which CBS calls “completely without merit,” to avoid regulatory retaliation.

    Not sure why you think I am from Russia. Trump won the election fair and square. There are so many Americans who dislike Kamala and don’t think she is qualified to be the POTUS.

    I suppose the Left’s favorite argument at this point is (1) voters are stupid, and (2) Russian disinformation.

      CBS clearly made Kamala looked much better through editing.

      Had Trump did the 60 minutes would CBS made Trump look better through editing or made him look worse. We all know the answer to that.

      This part. No one in good faith makes such absurd claims. Anyone who doesn’t recognize that Donald Trump has been treated with more kid gloves than ANYONE in modern history is full of shit. If you actually watched American media, you would know that.

        I disagree with you completely on this. In fact, the mainstream media has been so biased against Trump for the last 8 years, they have completely lost objectivity. As a result, they lost the trust of most Americans. Look at their recent ratings. They are a dying business.

          You are literally living in a different reality than the rest of us, there’s not much else to say. I know you think this is just a giant echo chamber and everyone else are the crazy ones, but Jesus…

            It is the other way. You are living in the liberal bubble.

            I know you think this is just a giant echo chamber and everyone else are the crazy ones, but Jesus…

            Trump just won the election fair and square. It was a EC landslide. He also delivered Trifecta. The majority is with me at this point. LOL

            The favorite argument at this point from the left is that voters are stupid. That itself is a stupid argument.

                  Which side was the side that did an attempted coup a few years ago when they lost? And then when that got shut down wailed like a 3am newborn for 4 whole years about it?

                    It was meant to be a peaceful protest. When there were violence, Trump told the protesters to leave peacefully. Trump challenged the election result through court. Most of the court cases ruled on “no standing” technicality not the merit. Anyway, since the court challenges weren’t successful, the result was a peaceful transfer of power. There was nothing wrong from what Trump did.
