Yesterday, CBS and its parent company, Paramount, settled a lawsuit with President Trump over the deceptive editing of Kamala Harris' interview with '60 Minutes.'
The Left melted down over this, of course. Maria Shriver found it 'heartbreaking' and other journalists expressed their displeasure with it. Including Chris Cillizza, who called it 'utterly appalling.'
He also has more thoughts on this, and plays the 'every outlet does this' card:
Editing an interview is what ALL news organizations do for a longer interview. Every organization does that -- from liberal to conservative. https://t.co/fmMre5hAhD

Really?
Really, Chris?
Trying to pass off what 60 Minutes did as editing, when they took answers and replaced them whole with things said in other contexts, is the type of nonsense you used to do when you were not independent.

He never rehabbed his reputation.
That was all CYA.
This next post shows how '60 Minutes' deceptively edited an interview with Ron DeSantis, quoting a post from 2021:

Read it. This is what '60 Minutes' does.
Is this what the kids call “copium”?

Yes. Yes, it is.
There's a difference between editing and MANIPULATING.

Editing is shortening an answer for time constraints, manipulating is SWITCHING answers.
You're an idiotic hack.
All of this.
There were two different answers to the same question. One in the promo made Kamala look on-brand (rambling and incoherent), so they switched that out for another answer to make her look better, again, TO THE SAME QUESTION.

And then- CBS refused to released the transcript… https://t.co/sr8nXdXqqh
The entire post reads:
And then- CBS refused to released the transcript because they knew they were caught.
You want to know why “journalists” are so distrusted? Just look at basically all of them — starting with the already-discredited Cillizza who got let go by CNN of all places — still defending CBS on this. Incredible. Enjoy the ratio.
He's getting ratioed into orbit.
The people who told you Joe Biden was fine are now telling you CBS News is honest. https://t.co/UHcbmXKp90

'Trust us, bro.'
What a hack. Americans have zero trust in our media and you are part of the problem. https://t.co/Y9qpR4hdq9

A big part of the problem.
They told us videos of Biden were deceptively edited, which was a lie. Now they insist 60 Minutes doesn't resort to deceptive editing, which is also a lie. They've lost our trust, they blame us, and now they're losing their jobs. 🤷♂️https://t.co/OgjzVKs4Ao

And they deserve to lost their jobs.
Then why did CBS settle?
