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.

    Kamala Harris’s 60 minutes interview had 5.7 million live viewers, and as of today, 3.8 million views on YouTube. Making approximately 9.5 million views total.

    Spotify doesn’t release their numbers, but just on YouTube, Donald Trump’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s 3-hour podcast got over 26 million views in the first 24 hours (and today is sitting at 55 million views).

    Even if CBS was somehow unfair, it doesn’t matter. Trump got a massive viewership advantage going on Rogan, but because he’s a fossil, doesn’t see it that way, because he still thinks broadcast TV is mainstream media. It’s not. Joe Rogan is mainstream media at this point.

      It’s the same with him suing the iowa pollster. In the end, her prediction didn’t matter, in fact, it probably helped him win iowa by energizing his base. But he’s such a narcissist/facsist that he can’t handle anyone opposing him.

      Also, he went on Rogan the day Harris was supposed to appear on his show. He didn’t just get a massive boost with that appearance. He blocked a pre arranged appearance by his opponent. Rogan got to play kingmaker.

    Reality is dead, only what Trump says matters.

    As someone else astutely said, reality doesn’t usually need a police state to enforce it.

    Trump is going to enforce his “reality” with a police state.

    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.

        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.

          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.

                I know you think this is just a giant echo chamber and everyone else are the crazy ones, but Jesus…

                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

        In my opinion, she is a terrible public speaker. I believe most Americans agree with me.

            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.

              “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.”
