If you compare the full transcript of 60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris that aired shortly before the November election to what actually aired it's quite clear that the piece was edited to help give the Dem nominee prone to blurting out word salads a boost.
The show's editing team was kept busy with the Harris video.
Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone.

The category? Outstanding editing of an interview. No, seriously:
The controversial “60 Minutes” interview at the center of President Trump’s high-stakes lawsuit against CBS News is now an Emmy-nominated program.
The nominations for the 46th News & Documentary Emmy Awards were announced Thursday.
“60 Minutes” landed several nods, most notably in the Outstanding Edited Interview category for its primetime special featuring then-Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Other nominees in that category include CBS’ interviews with Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and the late Pope Francis, as well as NBC’s interview with Celine Dion and ABC’s interview with Brittney Griner.
Carol Roth had a much better name for the category:

If only they were being honest about what the nomination is really for.
This is a joke right? They are getting an Emmy for blatant media bias? https://t.co/kjOlaCB5N9

That's what those people do -- help spread BS and bogus narratives and then give themselves awards for it.
