Stated on February 6, 2025 in a Truth Social post:
CBS News and “60 Minutes” “replaced” former Vice President Kamala Harris’ interview answers “with completely different, and far better, answers, taken from another part of the interview.”
Trump posted on Truth Social that CBS News and 60 Minutes "replaced" Harris’ "60 Minutes" interview answers "with completely different, and far better, answers, taken from another part of the interview."
The full, unedited interview transcript does not show that CBS News’ "60 Minutes" replaced all of Harris’ answers to questions about U.S.-Israel relations with a response from a different part of the interview. CBS did not change Harris’ meaning.
News outlets commonly edit interviews for length and clarity. CBS News used a longer version of Harris’ response in a video clip previewing the "60 Minutes" interview on the CBS News show "Face the Nation." It used a shorter excerpt of Harris’ answer in the aired "60 Minutes" interview. Both parts of Harris’ answer were taken from the same segment of the interview, the unedited transcript shows.
A media ethics expert said the "60 Minutes" interview adhered to typical journalistic standards.
False.
