Did CBS edit Kamala Harris's interview? The news network has finally broken its silence

CBS News recently acknowledged the matter of editing the response of US Vice President Kamala Harris in the interview on ‘60 minutes’, reported New York Post. The network had to come with this acknowledgement as the former US President Donald Trump appeared with the claim that the editing was deceitful and it held an intention of making the appearance of Kamala Harris more articulate.

According to New York Post, CBS News has rejected the assertions made by Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump firmly and labeled them as ‘false’. CBS News asserted that the editing of different portions of Kamala Harris’s answer to the repeated question regarding the actions taken by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amidst the unrest situation in the Middle East asked by the interviewer Bill Whitaker was done for clarity.

New York Post noted that in a statement, CBS also came with an explanation that this version of the show has appeared to be more succinct with the allowance for a broader level of discussion with the segment of 21 minutes. Karoline Leavitt, the campaign spokesperson of Donald Trump has argued that the admission of CBS has confirmed the accusation of manipulation made by them for presenting Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris in a way which is more favorable.


New York Post asserted that with the matter of growing transparency, House Speaker Mike Johnson and others demanded for releasing the full transcript of the interview.
