CBS "News" Continues Hiding the Real Video of Kamala Harris' Word-Salad Nonsense Answers, and Also Refuses to Make a Transcript of Her Real Words Available, Too

A "news" organization is attempting to hide the actual news of their own interview.

CBS News remained mum Wednesday amid mounting pressure to release the full transcript of Kamala Harris' interview with "60 Minutes" -- even as a former correspondent said there's "precedent" for the network doing so when it came to Donald Trump.
Ex-CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge -- who was laid off earlier this year as she investigated the Hunter Biden laptop scandal -- said the network released the full, unedited transcript of her interview with Trump when he was president in 2020.
The Republican presidential candidate has demanded CBS News publish the full interview with Harris after accusations that the Tiffany Network edited her "word salad" answers during the sit-down with Bill Whitaker.
"As Trump campaign calls on @60Minutes to release 'full, unedited transcript' of Kamala Harris interview ... There is precedent," Herridge posted on X on Wednesday.
Vice President Kamala Harris granted an interview to CBS's "60 Minutes" that aired on Monday night. 5

"When I interviewed then President Trump in July 2020. @CBSNews we posted the interview transcript. This is more complete and NOT the same as a transcript of the edited TV report."
The award-winning journalist provided the link to the unedited interview on CBS News in which she grilled Trump on hot-topic issues like the COVID vaccine.
"It's about transparency and standing behind the integrity of the final edit," Herridge said.
A source close to the network said Herridge had pushed for the publication of her full transcript at the time and that it was a "special case."
CBS News declined to comment.

Of course, of course. Why should the Guardians of Truth explain their deceptions to the lower order?

A spokesperson also did not reply to repeated calls and emails from The Post about whether the network would release the unedited "60 Minutes" transcript.
The controversy continued to swirl after a truncated version of the Democratic presidential candidate's response to a question from Whitaker about Israel was broadcast on the "60 Minutes" episode on Monday.
Harris' reply stood in contrast to her longer, stammering answer that was aired as a promo for the interview on "Face the Nation" on Sunday morning.

If you missed this story, they deleted her real answer -- which was another rambling, incoherent word-salad answer -- with something that sounded more confident and coherent, but which was offered as an answer to a different question.

A giant Fake News Scam by CBS & 60 Minutes. Her REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED it with another answer in order to save her or, at least, make her look better. A FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal. TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE. Election Interference.… pic.twitter.com/JRxSda3NeC

When Whitaker noted that "it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening" to the administration's calls for restraint in Israel's military actions, the vice president spoke in fits and starts, appearing unsure of what she was trying to convey.
The interview was conducted by "60 Minutes" reporter Bill Whitaker.
"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," Harris said in the clip shared by "60 Minutes" on X over the weekend.
That same clip aired on "Face the Nation."
But the "60 Minutes" edition that was broadcast in primetime did not include the full answer.
Instead, viewers who tuned in to the primetime special saw a much more erudite answer from Harris: "We are 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."
CBS also did not include the unedited version in its YouTube upload of the "60 Minutes" segment with Harris. The original answer also could not be found in the transcript of the interview that was posted to CBS News' official website.
...
However, a CBS insider said the network should just be transparent in this case amid mounting questions.
"You have a responsibility when you interview a president or vice president to make the transcript available to everyone," the source said.

Herridge revealed another "precedent:"

Elon Musk says that CBS "News" edits the answers of Democrats and leftists in a favorable manner -- but also butchers quotes from its political enemies to make them sound monstrous.

Elon Musk
@elonmusk
Major cleanup needed at 60 Mins. Producers need to be fired.
They edited an interview I once did with them. My actual words were "I can do what I want at Tesla, provided that shareholders agree."
They deleted the last four words, giving my statement the opposite meaning.

CBS "News" released the full transcript of a Trump interview because it was news and to give Democrats a chance to paw through it to craft attack lines.

But they're hiding the Kamala transcript. It's obviously news, and important news, as she's only sat down for one solo interview with a reporter. This is literally her only solo interview with the Truth-Tellers of the Media.

Why would they hide this?

You know why.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: The other big news is the fraud committed by 60 Minutes and CBS, together with the Democrat Party... which will go down as the single Biggest Scandal in Broadcast History! The REAL ANSWER of Kamala's WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB... so they actually REPLACED it with another… pic.twitter.com/TIATJPQDNq

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
60 Minutes is a major part of the News Organization of CBS, which has just created the Greatest Fraud in Broadcast History. CBS should lose its license, and it should be bid out to the Highest Bidder, as should all other Broadcast Licenses, because they are just as corrupt as CBS--and maybe even WORSE!

Meanwhile, CBS is also getting flack for its alleged "editorial commitment to objectivity" -- namely, CBS has decided that if black and Muslim staffers get angry because a reporter dares to challenge Woke Grifter-Prophet Ta-Nehisi Coates on his book, published to coincide with the glorious anniversary of 10/7, which basically says the Jews deserve every terrorist attack they get. Black wokies are angry that the Racial Aristocratic Caste Protocols weren't observed -- whites must always defer to blacks, it's the way to Be an Anti-Racist -- and of course the Muslim defense of their terrorism must be respected as "righteous rebellion."

Dylan Byers has some of the behind-the-scenes action there:

On Monday, the anniversary of the October 7 attacks, Paramount Global chairwoman Shari Redstone was alerted to a fast-metastasizing, five-alarm shitshow at her company's news division--and one that would turn out to be particularly personal for her. Earlier that morning, on a staff-wide call, CBS News C.E.O. Wendy McMahon and her deputy Adrienne Roark had stunned their teams by announcing that a recent CBS Mornings interview with the author Ta-Nehisi Coates had failed to meet the network's editorial standards.
The executives didn't specify the offense or offender, but they didn't need to.
...

It was an exchange that tested the octaves of morning television, but it was also mostly quite civil and actually, in many moments, quite compelling: Two smart guys, actively disagreeing with one another, without resorting to screams or any sort of name-calling. And it provided a fascinating, microcosmic glimpse into one of the most significant fissures within the modern Democratic Party this election season.
Indeed, in the aftermath of October 7, a surprising political realignment has recast Israel not as a consequential ally and refuge to a historically oppressed people surrounded by hostile nation-states, but rather a ruthless regional hegemon.
...
Internally, however, the fallout quickly gathered steam. Within 24 hours of the interview, McMahon had come under enormous pressure from several dozen employees in New York and abroad--foreign correspondents, morning show producers, seasoned veterans, and younger hands alike--who took issue with Dokoupil's treatment of Coates, as well as what they perceived as his history of editorializing on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Meanwhile, a veritable alphabet soup of journalistic organizations--AAJA, SAJA, NABJ, AMEJA, etcetera--signaled plans to write letters of protest.

If you notice a lot of "A's" there, that's because they're mostly Arab-American or American Muslim "journalist" societies.

Now here comes the big reveal: CBS "News" has a "Race and Culture unit" and all questions affecting, I guess, blacks and Muslims are supposed to be vetted through this unit before being asked:

Last Tuesday, while the CBS News leadership was consumed with the network's vice presidential debate, the issue was elevated to the network's Race and Culture unit, which was formed in the summer of 2020, amid the George Floyd reckoning, and determines whether the "tone, content, and intention" of any segment or package are suitable for the network's air. The unit, led by Alvin Patrick, determined that while Dokoupil's questions and intentions were acceptable, his tone was not.

It's not just that this unit reviews things retrospectively -- they're claiming Tony Dokoupil violated CBS "News'" rules by not clearing his questions through "the Race and Culture unit" before daring to question the Black Grifter-Prophet.

Meanwhile, the network's Standards and Practices division, led by Claudia Milne, determined that Dokoupil had not followed the preproduction process wherein questions are run through Race and Culture and Standards and Practices. The following day, McMahon reached out to Dokoupil directly and informed him that the network would need to address the violation with staff, though she and Roark would spend the next three days deliberating over exactly how to do that. Ultimately, McMahon decided to have Roark announce the violation at the all-hands meeting, which angered a lot of Dokoupil's friends and acolytes at the network.

CBS "News" says that Dokoupli's big sin was that he wasn't objective like, say, Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan are when dealing with white Republicans.

On Monday morning, which happened to be the one-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, Roark noted that Dokoupil's indelicate tone failed to uphold "the legacy of neutrality and objectivity that is CBS News." And then all hell broke loose.

It was yet another flare-up of the fight in newsrooms between older liberals who want to maintain the veneer of objectivity while being clear Democrat partisans and the Young Wokies who want to say "YOLO" and just make their racist, misandrist propaganda as blatant as possible to finally make leftwing voices heard.

They've been so quiet until now, doncha know.

And as we've seen at the New York Times and Washington Post -- the older liberals are too cowardly to fight the Young Wokies, so the Young Wokies won again.

[T]his particular micro-drama had the distinction of touching several highly charged political and cultural tinderboxes that had been roiling the CBS News staff for months and became especially acute after the Coates interview. These issues ranged from debates about domestic race relations and media bias to questions about Israel's very existence and, honestly, ongoing existential fears about the future of TV news, itself.
...
These tensions poured over into a subsequent all-hands meeting on Tuesday, which the CBS Mornings executive producer Shawna Thomas had organized for the express purpose of trying to foster greater communication across the network. During the call, which Dokoupil joined, one employee said the anchor's treatment of Coates was "racist," "xenophobic," and "Islamophobic."
Another commended Dokoupil for challenging an author whose book read like an antisemitic polemic.
Some argued that Dokoupil's editorializing put foreign correspondents in danger, while others complained that, by commandeering the interview, he had deprived his Black co-hosts, King and Burleson, from asking their own questions.

Again, whites must always be silent and let Marginalized Black Voices Be Heard -- the coerced compliance with the "Progressive Stack."

And note they continue with this crap that you have to pretend Hamas isn't a terrorist organization or else foreign correspondents covering Hamas will be murdered by Hamas terrorists.

But they're not terrorists! We're scared they will murder us but they're not terrorists! Please don't say they're terrorists!

And yes, people expect Dokoupil to now be fired or, you know, "voluntarily choose to separate himself from CBS. Though Shari Redstone's (a major stakeholder in the conglomerate that owns CBS) endorsement has shifted thinking:

Still, in light of Redstone's comments, the discourse in media circles has obviously shifted from questions about Dokoupil's future at the network to speculation about McMahon and Roark's.

Those are the two that decided that CBS "News" could no longer challenge black polemicists. Adrienne Roark is your typical AWFL Karen and I do have to ask, why are you stealing your job from a Strong and Empowered minority who deserves it more, Adrienne?

McMahon is also a woke white woman, of course.

McMahon had the best intentions, several network sources said, but her failure to anticipate this outcome, and the reputational hit to CBS, has raised broader questions about her command of the delicate art of newsroom management. Before joining CBS News in 2021, McMahon had spent more than a decade at ABC News, where she served as a marketing executive...

Byers notes, in closing, that CBS "News" violated its own editorial rules in knitting together two different answers to make Kamala sound more coherent:

On Wednesday, while CBS News was still scrambling to clean up the Dokoupil mess, the network was on to another micro-scandal: 60 Minutes had released two different transcripts of its interview with Kamala Harris, leading the Trump campaign to accuse the network of trying to edit the remarks in her favor. The error, whatever its cause, was an obvious violation of the CBS News standard guide, which states, verbatim, that "answers to different questions may not be combined to give the impression of one continuous response." It continued, in a line that evokes the nostalgia and anxiety and wishful thinking of the era, "You cannot create an answer merely because you wish the subject had said it better."

It's not a micro-scandal, m'dude, but whatever, good report.

Megyn Kelly has an additional update. Gayle King, the Strong and Empowered Black Woman that Dokoupil should have deferred to and let monopolize the discussion (even though it's about Israel, and you'd think Dokoupil, who converted to Judaism and who has an ex-wife and children in Israel would be the minority more invested in this story) had, Ta-Nehisi Coates, plenty of probing questions for him that she should have been allowed to ask.

How does he know Gayle King had probing questions for him, if she didn't ask them?

Simple: Gayle King approached him backstage before the interview and told him in advance all of the questions she intended to ask him so he'd have a head's up and could start figuring out his answers ahead-of-time.

You know -- like Real Journalist does!

What does the Race and Culture unit say about giving selected special guest propagandists a head's up about the questions they'll be asked when peddling an antisemitic conspiracy theory book?

By the way, if you're not satisfied with my excellent digest of the background of this situation, Megyn Kelly runs though it all.

Amber Duke calls this another example of what she calls (and wrote a book about) The Snowflakes' Revolt.

I really, really want Trump to win and then follow through on his promise to sick the DOJ on election cheaters.

Like, deep audits of voting numbers and census records. Interviewing people recorded as having voted to make sure they did.

Imagine a wave of these investigations starting in Philly and moving out from there over the course of four years, throwing election officials in jail for very long sentences as a prelude to 2028.

135 2016 election night coverage - in a sea of butthurt and over the top drama on the networks from the usual suspects, there was one chick news reader or whatwever who deployed the usual boilerplate that was politically customary in former, before times.

"We lost, we're going to have to work together."

Well that lasted a brief shining moment of about 4 seconds. Nobody ever said anything like that ever again. Behind the scenes, the long term view is not good. Democrats have introduced Articles of Impeachment for every Republican president since Eisenhower.

They contest about every election that they lose, or appearing to lose, by finding amazing amounts of ballots at opportune moments. They feel justified in stealing democratic elections.

Importing an illegal yet new electorate in a Democracy. Has anyone ever asked these motherfuckers to explain why this is not straight up black letter law Treason?

Posted by: Eeyore

The RNC was an early innovator in using computers to figure out GOTV strategies. The Dems moved on with new vendors and methods but the RNC stayed with its big iron vendors even as their data deteriorated. That led to the whole Orca fiasco in 2012. Basically, the RNC mandated that its candidate customers use their shoddy services or they would rig the race against that candidate and obtain a candidate that would hire those POS consultants.

Instead of a service organization, the RNC (and its afffiliated committees) became a monopoly organization in providing services--legal, fundraising, advertising, GOTV, to candidates and crushing those that declined. It used its power in local and state (along with federal) GOP committees to enforce that monopoly.

Nasty little Iron Triangle setup between consultants, party org, and donors that screwed candidates that did not play along.

When GM discovered the setup, the carmaker sued NBC for defamation and temporarily removed its ads from the network’s news programs. Then came the ultimate embarrassment: Dateline anchors Jane Pauley and Stone Phillips were ordered to read a 3.5-minute on-air apology to viewers and GM.

Before private Australian type ballots, you did get unanimity in voting because any opposing party ballot were often destroyed right then and there by mobs.

People do not appreciate that the US as one of the oldest 'democracies' also has one of the longest histories in voter fraud, intimidation, rigging elections, and buying votes.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 11, 2024

Answering my own question: They did, ABC Evening News. John Cameron Swayze was one of the anchors for a time, then a Ron Cochran (?), and then the infamous Peter Jennings. In the '50s and '60s ABC was the redheaded stepchild of the three networks (and the local station had the poorest picture), so I'm not surprised that my parents never watched the ABC show.

Later on there were Frank Reynolds, Howard K. Smith, and Harry Reasoner. Those names I remember.

The FNM/US government claim that election shouldn't count because there weren't protections to stop non-citizens from voting, people submitting ballots for others, and people voting multiple times across voting locations.

The things they claim are right wing conspiracy theories in the US are the reasons they claim you couldn't trust that election in eastern Ukraine...

Did they really think this wouldn't get out?

Have they never realized it would be so much simpler not to risk this embarrassment, and just send the supplies?

267 If journalists had any ethics - and I mean *any* - they'd whip themselves to death with lengths of chain and save decent people the effort.

268 I often wonder how those unfortunate folks on the east coast, blasted by hurricanes, a going to be able to vote.

I imagine some of these other, adjacent states will be happy to provide their ballots and ensure our precious Sacred Democracy is Preserved!

270 Turnout. Turnout. Turnout.

I missed the thread below about polling, but then did ctrl+F "turnout" and only found five stray references.

It's not just "who do you like." Nearly a majority don't vote so you need a simple X by Y matrix to show "who do you like" v. "will you actually vote."

Pollsters are challenged when many don't vote regularly. My prediction is that White Non-College will turnout like never before, and they're the largest cohort by far.

They've had ralativey weak turnout because they've been disenfranchised. They once had a home in the D party but no longer. Trump's rebranding the R party to welocme them

273 Bias has always existed in the media. In and of itself, it's not unacceptable until that bias leaks out of the editorial board into the hard news.

Then you wind up with The New York Times.

277 The unit, led by Alvin Patrick, determined that while Dokoupil's questions and intentions were acceptable, his tone was not.

So if he had run his questions through the Race and Culture unit ahead of time, they would have found his questions to be acceptable and he would have been green-lighted to proceed.

But there is no way the unit could know what his tone would be. This would be a much more fun story if he had followed the pre-screening procedure, and then have it all blow-up because of tone. I wonder how Race & Culture would try to dig themselves out of that one.

282 For as reprehensible as CBS might be, let us remember that they also gave us Sharyl Atkisson, Lara Logan, Catherine Herridge, and Bernard Goldberg--all of whom bravely called bullshit on what their bosses were trying to pull.
