CBS News has found itself embroiled in yet another scandal, this time as the left-leaning juggernaut gets caught red-handed fixing an interview to put lipstick on Kamala Harris’s disastrous responses. Just when one thought they might actually conduct an honest interview, the network released a statement revealing it had edited the Vice President’s answer into something more palatable for viewers. Apparently, the notion of airing the truth was too much to bear.
In a promo clip for the Harris interview airing on 60 Minutes, CBS showcased a magnificent display of verbal chaos as she flailed to justify her administration’s impotence regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Her original attempt at coherence revealed her inability to connect the dots regarding U.S. foreign policy, peppered with lofty language devoid of real substance. But when the show aired, like a magician revealing a trick, CBS swapped out the cringe-worthy response for something that at least skimmed the surface of clarity. However, this revised answer lacked any real connection to the question asked—it’s as if she was talking about the weather instead of defining U.S. objectives in the Middle East.

This blatant manipulation of the interview didn’t sit well with the public, and especially not with Trump’s campaign, which quickly called on CBS to cough up the unedited version. An FCC complaint was filed, accurately charging that CBS had engaged in a shameful act of news manipulation. Under the mounting pressure, CBS made a half-hearted acknowledgment of their edits, wrapped up in a pile of pretentious justifications about journalistic integrity. They claimed the edited version was “more succinct,” as if sacrificing clarity for time constraints was a valid excuse in the realm of serious journalism.
It’s clear that CBS is not just guilty of a simple editing mistake. The implication is alarming: this isn’t just an isolated incident; it’s part of a consistent pattern of journalistic malpractice. Past controversies, including the infamous Dan Rather exposé in 2004 regarding George W. Bush and the 2020 debacle concerning Hunter Biden’s laptop, suggest a deeply ingrained commitment to disinformation masquerading as reporting. It’s almost as if CBS has been taking notes on how to play fast and loose with the truth from their Democrat friends.
This latest snafu signals a larger, sinister plan—CBS and 60 Minutes appear to be positioning themselves as part of Kamala’s campaign machinery for the 2024 election. With a history steeped in bias, the network is desperate to prop up the VP as she stumbles through her term. One can only assume that Democrats are delighted to have such allies, further establishing the collusion that exists between the media and a political machine intent on maintaining its power at all costs.
It’s clear that the integrity of American journalism has taken a backseat as media outlets like CBS systematically attempt to influence the political landscape rather than report on it. Liberals must be thrilled by these antics—where’s the fair treatment, right? But for those watching, it becomes increasingly obvious that the truth will only take center stage when conservative voices break through the noise.
