’60 Minutes’ is attacked for video editing by Kamala Harris

’60 Minutes’ is attacked for video editing by Kamala Harris

Vice President Kamala Harris’ supposedly positive coverage of “60 Minutes” is coming under fire with the election less than a month away.

The New York Post reports today that the Democratic presidential nominee’s response to a question from “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker about Israel, which aired during a special episode on Monday, was markedly different from the “word salad” the vice president used in served up a clip to promote the interview shown on “Face the Nation” the day before.

As the Herald and others report, her Nov. 5 rival, former President Donald Trump, criticized “60 Minutes” for what he said they did for Harris – “chopping up” her answers. Trump declined the invitation to the show.

The NY Post reports that former CBS journalists are calling for an outside investigation into the show’s editing. Others want the unedited footage to be released.

CBS again declined multiple requests from The Post to release the full transcript. The network did not comment on whether it planned to launch an investigation into the matter, the Post reported.

It’s all part of an election that featured just one debate – and a single vice-presidential debate – and yet plenty of citations and selective appearances.

As polls show, the Oval Office is neck and neck.

The presidential race is undecided and essentially unchanged as it heads into the final round
