CBS News’ “60 Minutes” finally responded on Sunday night to the scandal that erupted two weeks ago when the show deceptively edited remarks from an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
The show claimed without providing evidence that the allegation that it deceitfully edited its interview with Harris was “false.”
“60 Minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to Face the Nation that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes,” the statement claimed. “Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response.”
The left-wing show claimed that the “portion of her answer on 60 Minutes was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide ranging 21-minute-long segment.”
The show then took a petty shot at Trump: “Remember, Mr. Trump pulled out of his interview with 60 Minutes and the vice president participated.”
