Oct 20, 2024, 11:11 PM

Former President Donald Trump has accused CBS's '60 Minutes' of deceitfully editing an Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump has called for CBS to have its license revoked, claiming the edit made Harris's response appear more competent than it was. CBS has denied the accusations, stating that the segment aired on 'Face The Nation' used a longer section of Harris's response than what was shown on '60 Minutes'. The controversy has sparked a debate over media integrity and the accuracy of news editing. It took nearly two weeks for '60 Minutes' to address the claims.
