Trump is flat-out lying about the ‘60 Minutes’ interview with Harris

reason.com Trump is flat-out lying about the ‘60 Minutes’ interview with Harris

The full transcript shows the president's complaints about the editing of the interview are not just wildly hyperbolic and legally groundless. They are demonstrably false.

Summary

CBS has released the full transcript of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, refuting Trump’s claims that the network deceptively edited her responses to favor her campaign.

The transcript confirms CBS followed standard journalistic practice by using a "succinct" segment of Harris' Israel remarks, while Trump has exaggerated and misrepresented the edits.

FCC commissioner Brendan Carr’s decision to revisit the complaint highlights how executive power can serve political vendettas.

Paramount may settle Trump’s lawsuit, which CBS calls "completely without merit," to avoid regulatory retaliation.

CBS clearly made Kamala looked much better through editing.
Had Trump did the 60 minutes would CBS made Trump look better through editing or made him look worse. We all know the answer to that.
To be honest , I don't know how anyone can say Trump flat out lie on this one.
- I'll bet that sounded better before translation from Russian.
  
  Lmao.
  
  Not sure why you think I am from Russia. Trump won the election fair and square. There are so many Americans who dislike Kamala and don't think she is qualified to be the POTUS.
  I suppose the Left's favorite argument at this point is (1) voters are stupid, and (2) Russian disinformation.
  
  There is no left in America. I’m not sure who you sheep are always referring to.
  
  People who think Trump is qualified are stupid. Zero dispute.
  
  Zero dispute? Are you kidding me? It has been disputed by the American majority.
  
  By stupid people.
  
  The favorite argument at this point from the left is that voters are stupid. That itself is a stupid argument.
  
  Half the country is functionally illiterate.
  
  The Left are just sore losers.

  This part. No one in good faith makes such absurd claims. Anyone who doesn't recognize that Donald Trump has been treated with more kid gloves than ANYONE in modern history is full of shit. If you actually watched American media, you would know that.
  
  I disagree with you completely on this. In fact, the mainstream media has been so biased against Trump for the last 8 years, they have completely lost objectivity. As a result, they lost the trust of most Americans. Look at their recent ratings. They are a dying business.
  
  You are literally living in a different reality than the rest of us, there's not much else to say. I know you think this is just a giant echo chamber and everyone else are the crazy ones, but Jesus...
  
  It is the other way. You are living in the liberal bubble.

  Trump just won the election fair and square. It was a EC landslide. He also delivered Trifecta. The majority is with me at this point. LOL
  
  Sure Jan. Have a nice day.
- Why would they need to make her look better through editing? Have you watched any of her rallies? Oh wait you haven't cuz you're a bot
  
  In my opinion, she is a terrible public speaker. I believe most Americans agree with me.
  
  My ~~brother~~ bot in Christ, have you listened to trump talk?
  
  Yes. Trump is clearly a much better public speaker than Kamala.
  
  For someone who calls themselves "liberty forever", you sure gargle a lot of fascist dick. Trump is clearly not a better public speaker than Kamala. I'm pretty sure I was a better public speaker than Trump when I was 5 years old.
  
  Incoherent rambling that makes absolutely no sense to anyone with a 3rd grade+ reading level
  Group of lunatic Nazis cheer at nonsense
  "Oh he's such a good speaker!"
  
  Maybe Musk is sharing his ketamine.
  Who am I kidding, Musk doesnt share...
  
  “First they say, ‘Sir, how do you do it? How do you wake up in the morning and put on your pants?’” Trump mused. “And I say, ‘Well, I don’t think about it too much.’ I don’t want to think about it because if I think about it too much maybe I won’t want to do it, but I love it because we’re going to do something for this country that’s never been done before.”
  
  And he proceeded to put the pants on his head, with his supporters shortly following suit.
