Kamala Harris gave a haunted answer, 179 words in Israel that “60 minutes” cut only 20 words, according to transcripts released Wednesday by the Federal Communications Commission.
FCC says he is investigating CBS for possible electoral interference, following complaints that the honorable news program cut the answers to Harris’s words to make it look more coherent. Donald Trump has filed a $ 10 billion lawsuit against the network.
Trump -appointed FCC chairman Brendan Carr received the full transcript and video on Monday after a fight with the Tiffany network, which has defended editing as a standard practice for “time, space or clarity”.
But a CBS source told The Post on Wednesday that editing “60 minutes” made Harris a lot of favoritism and makes it look more summarized. “
“You have to watch the video. A lot of ‘words salad’, said the source.” It feels like a cleaning in AISLE 7. Not a technical foul, but someone can still argue news distortion. “
Trump and conservative critics have shown about the many different responses given by the Democratic Presidential Candidate for the Gaza War that was broadcast during a promo for the Face Nation interview and what was shown in “60 minutes” the next day in October.
A question from the “60 -minute” correspondent Bill Whitaker for what the US could do to stop the war to rotate out of control, Harris offers an annoying answer, 140 words, according to the full transcript.
“Well, let’s start on October 7. Because of course, what we do now should be in the context of what happened. And while reflecting a year ago, and that 1,200 people were massacred, young people at a festival, At a music festival, 250 hostages were taken, including Americans, women were brutally raped, “Harris began.
“And as I said then, I hold Israel right to defend. We will. And how does it do it matters. And while we quickly move on to what we have seen in the weeks and months in the coming, many innocent Palestinians have been killed. And we know that, and I think mostly, this war must end.
The version that was transmitted showed a summary response, with 56 words.
“Well, let’s start on October 7. Twelve hundred people were massacred, 250 hostages, including Americans, were brutally raped. And as I said then, I hold Israel right to defend. We will. And how does it do It is important.
Another question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in appearing “drafting his course” while opposing Biden administration’s calls to moderate the military response was also edited.
Harris’s response transmitted only 20 words: “The work we do diplomatic with Israel’s leadership is a constant pursuit to make our principles clear.”
However, the full transcript shows Harris giving a long answer, with 179 words:
“Well, let’s start with this. On this topic, the help we have given to Israel allowed Israel to defend against 200 ballistic missiles that were merely intended to attack Israelis and people of Israel. And I think it is the most recent example Why what we do to help defend them about military aid is important. protected against those types of attacks, “it begins.
“Now, the work we do diplomatically with Israel’s leadership is a constant pursuit of clear making of our principles, which include the need for humanitarian aid, the need for this war to end, the need for an agreement that would be made which would become which would be made that make hosts and create a ceasefire. , including Arab leaders. “
In a subsequent question, Harris responds to the broadcast: “We will not stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear where we are in the need for this war to end.”
In the unparalleled version, Harris says: “Well, Bill, the work we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were highly promoted, or a result of many things, including our advocacy what should happen in and we will not stop doing it.
Following the issuance of transcriptions, Carr said the FCC will hold a hearing on a complaint from the Center for American Rights, a group of law -based activist, on the alleged editing of CBS News.
“FCC has concluded that creating a bank and searching for comments on the issues raised in the complaint would serve the public interest. People will have a chance to weigh,” Carr said in a post on X.
CBS, who also issued unauthorized documents to the public on Wednesday, said transcripts “show – in accordance with repeated 60 minutes insurance – that 60 -minute transmission was not a doctorate or deceiver.”
FCC is considering if the broadcast violates the rules of “news distortion”. Although the agency is forbidden to censor or violate the rights of the first media change, the broadcasters cannot deliberately distort the news.
If Carr finds evidence of fraudulent editing, it can affect the regulatory approval of the $ 8 billion paramount union with Skydance, which was decided to close until next month.
This timeframe may be postponed again because FCC public hearings are scheduled for March 7, with a response foreseen for March 24, according to a submission by the agency.
Trump and CBS are said to have begun “very preliminary” resolution talks on his lawsuit – which has withdrawn the fraud of network staff.
“It makes a ton of pressure on Shari Redstone and primary to not pay Trump. If they do so, it’s a simple extortion over licenses,” another CBS source told The Post.
Redstone, the media heir controlling Paramount, is reported to receive $ 1.75 billion as part of the Skydance Agreement.
FCC, an independent federal agency, issues eight -year licenses to individual broadcasting stations, not networks.
