Donald Trump skipped a “60 Minutes” interview this week, but he’s criticizing CBS for how it handled its interview with opponent Kamala Harris, calling it a “giant fake news scam” and implying that the network was out to protect her.

Parts of the Harris interview aired Monday on the newsmagazine and on the Sunday morning political show “Face the Nation.” On two occasions, it showed Harris responding differently to queries presented by correspondent Bill Whitaker about the Biden administration’s efforts to end the war in the Middle East.

For CBS News, it was deemed part of the standard editing and cross-promotion procedure for a major interview. However, for those unfamiliar with journalism and television production, the impact can be startling.

Trump’s Complaints About ’60 Minutes’ Put A Spotlight On Editing At The Nation’s Top News Magazine

How did Harris appear to provide two answers?
Whitaker interviewed Harris in Washington on Saturday afternoon, October 5, for a special show that aired two days later, on Monday. However, “60 Minutes” shared a segment of that interview with colleagues on “Face the Nation,” both to provide fresh news for the Sunday morning show and to “tease” the full interview.

Whitaker once noted that Israel’s prime leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, did not appear to be listening to the administration’s proposals.

“Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region,” the vice president replied, in the wake of the “Face the Nation” portion of the program.

On “60 Minutes,” Harris responded to Whitaker’s statement: “We’re not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”

After the disparities were pointed out online, Trump stated on his Truth Social account that Harris’ “REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER ANSWER in order to save her or, at the very least, make her look better.”

So, what did Harris really say to Whitaker?

CBS says both things. Her complete response to the question was two sentences combined — the first on “Face the Nation” and the second on “60 Minutes.”

CBS explained that the editing was necessary to make the “60 Minutes” interview piece more concise. The entire conversation with Harris lasted 45 minutes and was compressed into a 20-minute spot on the show. However, the editing gave the impression that the answer aired on “60 Minutes” was the first thing Harris said in response to the inquiry. The fact that Whitaker asked the question on “Face the Nation” rather than having someone reword it added to the misunderstanding and exposed CBS to criticism.

The network declined to reply to Trump’s complaints on the record but privately emphasized that nothing was done with the intention of favoring Harris. The network has stated that the same procedure was in place when Trump was interviewed on the show multiple times previously.

When asked about the controversy, a Harris campaign staffer told Variety that “we do not have control over CBS’ production decisions.”

Two, not one, interview responses were edited differently.
According to a review of the broadcasts, the same thing happened with the inquiry that came before Whitaker’s assessment that the Israeli leader did not appear to be listening to the US. Whitaker enumerated a series of measures performed by Netanyahu that the Biden administration had advised him not to, and questioned, “Does the administration have no sway over Prime Minister Netanyahu?”

When asked about “60 Minutes,” Harris’ response was short: “The work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles.”

However, on “Face the Nation,” Harris was shown providing an explanation that lasted a full minute, and it did not even include the quote that was aired on “60 Minutes” the following night. Harris mentioned efforts to establish a truce and the release of Hamas hostages. “We’re not going to stop in terms of putting the pressure on Israel and in the region, including Arab leaders,” according to her.

The Trump campaign has asked CBS News to disclose the full, unedited transcript of the Harris interview. “What do they, and Kamala, have to hide?” stated Karoline Leavitt, the campaign’s publicity secretary. The show occasionally airs extended versions of interviews online, but it does not provide unedited transcripts.

During his 2020 campaign against Democrat Joe Biden, Trump was so irritated with his interview with “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl that he abruptly ended the session and later published the campaign’s recording of the whole, unedited conversation.

Meanwhile, this fall, some of Trump’s detractors have lambasted the media for editing and sanitizing parts of his statements during rallies and social media posts, a practice they have dubbed “sanewashing.”

(VOR News) – To energize a vital voting group that concerns Democrats due to diminished enthusiasm, Vice President Kamala Harris is introducing a proposal aimed at enhancing economic opportunities and other avenues of success for Black men.

Harris’ plan proposes the establishment of new apprenticeships, eligibility for forgiven business loans for Black entrepreneurs, and research on diseases such as sickle cell that disproportionately affect African American men.

Harris has already expressed her support for the legalization of marijuana and wants to advocate for equitable access for Black men when a national cannabis business is established.

Kamala Harris wants stricter cryptocurrency regulation to protect Black investors.

The vice president is endeavoring to galvanize African American men with her purported “opportunity agenda for Black men” during a period when some may opt to refrain from voting for either Kamala Harris or her adversary, Republican former President Donald Trump.

The vice president disclosed the approach before her visit to Erie, Pennsylvania, on Monday, where she was scheduled to participate in a campaign rally and tour a Black-owned small business. Her motivation stems from the assertion made by former President Barack Obama that certain Black men “aren’t embracing the concept of a woman as president,” as he stated last week.

The Kamala Harris campaign has established the organization “Hombres con Kamala Harris” to attract support from various male voter demographics, including Hispanics.

The latest policy alteration is significant as it was declared with the sole intention of motivating Black men to vote shortly before the elections.

Subsequent to the success of her campaign with the “Hombres” organization, Kamala Harris’ team plans to organize activities specifically designed for distinct genders. Included are “Black Men Huddle Up” events, which are celebrity viewing parties for NFL and NCAA football games conducted in battleground states, showcasing African American men.

New testimonial ads for Kamala Harris will feature black men from crucial states.

Cedric Richmond, the Black former congressman from Louisiana and co-chair of the Harris campaign, asserted that Harris aims to establish an economy where Black men had the resources to “purchase a home, support our families, initiate a business, and wealth.”

Black Americans significantly supported Joe Biden during his victory over Trump in 2020. Kamala Harris’ advisors assert that their primary concern is that certain Black men may opt not to vote, rather than the former president experiencing a substantial decline in their support.

Trump has intensified his endeavors to appeal to Latino and Black voters of both genders. He has conducted town halls with Black business proprietors in pivotal states and is slated to engage in one this week, sponsored by Univision in Spanish.

Furthermore, he has often sought to exacerbate racial tensions by asserting that Black and Hispanic Americans are losing employment opportunities to immigrants who are unlawfully entering the nation.

In her latest proposal, Kamala Harris commits to giving one million fully forgivable loans, capped at $20,000 each, to Black entrepreneurs and individuals with innovative company concepts, contingent upon her election.

Kamala Harris’ campaign supported SBA lending to local governments and community organizations.

The vice president aims to offer federal incentives to motivate more African American men to engage in teacher training, referencing data from the National Teacher and Principal Survey indicating that, in 2020–21, Black males constituted slightly over 1% of the teaching workforce in public schools nationwide.

To encourage an increase in Black male educators, Kamala Harris is pledging to expand existing government initiatives that forgive a percentage of student loans in return for community service.

She seeks to augment the availability of apprenticeship and credentialing opportunities for Black communities by leveraging commercial sector, local governments, and organizations such as the National Urban League.

To attract male voters, the vice president’s aides have been urging her to address cryptocurrency more frequently.

Kamala Harris’s campaign asserts her commitment to regulatory reforms designed to enhance the protection of cryptocurrency and digital asset investors, particularly appealing to Black men.

Kamala Harris committed to launching a national initiative to increase financing for the diagnosis, investigation, and treatment of sickle cell disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, mental health disorders, and other ailments that disproportionately affect Black men.

A recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll indicated that approximately seventy percent of Black voters believed Harris had superior leadership compared to Trump on significant policy issues such as the economy, health care, immigration, abortion, and the Israel-Hamas conflict. Black men and Black women provided comparable levels of support for Harris.

(VOR News) – Former President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that, ahead of Senator Kamala Harris, he had been chosen to be the next Secretary of State of the United States of America by Vice President Joe Biden at a campaign rally in California, the state of her birth and upbringing.

The Daily Mail claims that during his address to a crowd in Coachella, a desert city best known for its yearly music festival of the same name.

Trump criticized his rival’s performance and the Democratic presidential bid.

He criticized her performance as well. The Republican presidential candidate spoke before a large assembly of supporters, “A coup against Trump occurred; they effectively ousted [Biden] from office, and I am convinced that he holds a slightly greater affinity for me than for her.” “I am persuaded that he holds a greater affection for me than for her.”

You all already know that I defeated Biden. He has now bowed down as a result, and we are currently conversing. To be fair to him, the community gave him fourteen million votes whereas she received none. He stumbles as a result, and they say, “We want you to leave this place.” Then he keeps falling.

Furthermore, Trump claimed that the border is the biggest issue the nation is presently dealing with and blamed Biden, Harris, and California Governor Gavin Newsom for the immigration-related disaster that has transpired.

“I think the border is number one, because you know, you know we can fix things we can do, but what they’ve done to our country at the border is unbelievable,” Trump stated. “Joe Biden was the worst president in the history of our country, she’s the worst vice president in the history of our country.”

Despite the astronomically slim odds of Trump prevailing in “deep blue” areas, he planned to campaign in these states in the final days before November 5. California was one of these states, a predominately Democratic state. There was a rally conducted there as part of this.

Trump’s remarks also align with the view held by many analysts that Biden is “deliberately sabotaging” Harris’s candidacy because of his forced withdrawal from the race.

Based on his experience serving on Trump’s campaign advisory board, Republican political consultant Jason Meister claimed that Biden was “deliberately taking revenge on Kamala for stabbing him in the back.” This is attributed to Meister. Meister said as much in an interview with the New York Post.

He obviously didn’t feel anything for her. After his September 11th conversation with Shanksville firefighters, he seemed happier than he had in the previous four years when he wore a red [Trump 2024] hat. The hat was on him.

We should simply stand up and support Trump.

Approximately concurrently, Democratic Party strategist Hank Sheinkopf told an American news outlet that Biden is probably trying to make a “power move.”

“It would be absolutely ridiculous to assume that he has no resentment over how he was treated or how, frankly, he was forced out in what some would describe as a coup,” Sheinkopf told the media.

I find it amazing that he hasn’t made an appearance in places where he could be helpful, like some parts of Pennsylvania and states the president has worked to strengthen during his lengthy tenure in office. The job of President of the United States of America is one that you would never want to leave. Nobody desires to leave that position.

President Trump had earlier on Saturday visited the state of Nevada, specifically Las Vegas, where he expressed his appreciation for Hispanics’ “such energy.” It’s expected that on Sunday, he will speak at a rally in Arizona.

On October 27, he will perform live at Madison Square Garden, which is situated on the New York University campus.
