Pressured by Lawsuit and Owner Shari Redstone, 60 Minutes Finally Releases the Unedited Word-Salad Nonsensical Kamala Harris "Interview"

Happy Thursday. I can't wait for all of the good news of the day!

Starting with this latest exposure of the activist media.

Strange that a "news" organization fought the release of unedited news product so forcefully.

Kamala Harris gave a meandering, 179-word answer on Israel that "60 Minutes" cut to just 20 words, according to transcripts released Wednesday by the Federal Communications Commission.
The FCC says it's investigating CBS for possible election interference, after complaints that the venerated news program cut Harris' word-salad answers to make her look more coherent. Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the network.
Trump-appointed FCC chair Brendan Carr got the full transcript and video on Monday after a tug-of-war with the Tiffany Network, which has defended the editing as a standard practice for "time, space or clarity."
But a CBS source told The Post on Wednesday that the "60 Minutes" edit did Harris "a lot of favors and makes her seem more succinct."
"You have to watch the video. A lot of 'word salad,'" the source said. "Feels like a cleanup on Aisle 7. Not a technical foul but one could argue still news distortion."

Hit the link for comparisons of her endless word-salads to what actually appeared on the air. In every case, she babbled for 150-200 words, and CBS trimmed her answers to short, more coherent 25-40 word answers.

In every case, CBS's helpful editors take her rambling, incoherent, dum-dum ding-a-ling non-answers and craft them into something more comprehensible and more "presidential."

The article explains Trump's cause of action here:

After releasing the transcripts, Carr said the FCC will hold hearings over a complaint by the Center for American Rights, a right-leaning activist group, over CBS News' alleged deceptive editing.
"The FCC has concluded that establishing a docket and seeking comment on the issues raised in the complaint would serve the public interest. The people will have a chance to weigh in," Carr said in a post on X.
CBS, which also released the unedited documents to the public on Wednesday, said the transcripts "show -- consistent with 60 Minutes' repeated assurances to the public -- that the 60 Minutes broadcast was not doctored or deceitful."
The FCC is reviewing whether the broadcast violates "news distortion" rules. Though the agency is prohibited from censorship or infringing on the First Amendment rights of media, broadcasters cannot intentionally distort the news.

LOL. This has been a rule all this time and no one has ever investigated broadcasters for their obvious violation of the rule?!

Note that the American public had not seen Kamala much because she was hiding from the press for months. This was the first time the public would get to see her and make judgments about whether she was qualified to be president.

In other words: This was the time to show her answers in their most complete form. This wasn't just about finding about what her fake "positions" were, but a chance to see how her mind worked, if in fact it worked at all.

CBS deliberately hid this valuable information from the public and presented her as much more cogent, decisive, and direct.

The knock on Kamala Harris was that she was indecisive and incoherent, and the real unedited tape would have allowed the public to see that that knock was accurate.

Instead, they faked the interview to present an entirely false version of her in her first solo major network interview.

If Carr finds evidence of misleading editing, it could impact regulatory approval of Paramount's $8 billion merger with Skydance, which was set to close by next month.

The very partisan cheerleader interviewer asked Kamala Harris how she would pay for her bonanza of spending -- but only after declaring that all of her plans were "logical," but the "illogical" thing was Congress, which would resist all of her very logical spending proposals. That's at about 3:00.

Also, after that, there's video comparison of one of her real answers vs. one of the edited Cheapfake answers.

NEW: 60 Minutes edited out one of Kamala Harris's rambles on the Russia/Ukraine war, clipped in a strong statement instead about Putin "sitting in Kyiv right now."

Edited version:

Question: "Would you support the effort to expand NATO to include Ukraine?"

Answer: "Those are… pic.twitter.com/vKOQA0BQec

12 60 Minutes is defending on the basis that they were editing for "time, space or clarity." Ok, throw out "space." That one makes no sense in the TV context. That leaves us with "time or clarity." Editing a rambling, bumbling presidential candidate's words for "time and clarity" is practically an admission of election interference.

15 The courts have been very generous with rather broad interpretations of the First Amendment as it relates to the press. Decision after decision has established that. However, over the years that grew into a more incestuous relationship where both the courts and the media acted on their political impulses and used the First Amendment more as a pretext for their propaganda rather than a driving factor for upholding cases.

Those protections are important so this is a very precarious needle to thread. You don’t want to give courts and the media a decision that allows them to hold a virtual sword of Damocles over the head of free speech. But they need to be punished in situations such as this where it is clear the intent or perhaps the outcome was misleading and ultimately propaganda.

And CBS's edit doesn't seem particularly inaccurate or unreasonable. To me, this is a whatever story. We already knew the press was in the tank for her entirely, and there are better examples. Maybe the rest of the interview is worse?

DOGE is uprooting the entire government funding network for their political causes, and the NGO network they have been using to distribute and launder those funds. My early estimate is this is over a trillion dollars in taxpayer money being used to finance partisan political cause and both domestic and international subversive activities that are both illegal and unconstitutional.

But in the big scheme of things, were Romney or Kerry or Bush any better?

Sure, they may have behaved like whores prior to Clinton, but once the western world decided "stop paying attention to his whorish ways", our civil society took a direct hit from which we've never recovered.

Their ability to fund ballot harvesting is going to take a giant hit. Their ability to frame narrative (already weakened after decades of naked partisanship in the face of a rising series of alternatives).

My old prediction on the Senate changes in 2026 was 1-2 net change.

My new prediction is feeling more like a 5-6 seat loss as funding for their normal stealing activities largely drives up which, combined with the new RNC's laser-focus on election integrity and a smaller map to focus on than in 2024, leads to a blowout.

So while she is obviously a big dummy I think there is a degree of intentionality to the structure of her answers. Because she doesn't want you to know a anything about what she really thinks, she purposely talks without saying anything but the makes it sound like it's really profound by using power words and nodding her head at the end. I've never really seen anyone like her.

I mean Obama kind of does it but he's better at memorizing so he makes it all sound far more plausible.

When the Democrats nominate their next sub-literate retard candidate and voter fraud their way to 75-85 million votes with him/her, will a Republican not named Trump be able to beat that? If not, the next Democrat put into power will not only reverse everything President Trump's Administration does over the next 4 years, they will do even worse than what they did with the installed Biden in the White House.

If not, the next Democrat put into power will not only reverse everything President Trump's Administration does over the next 4 years, they will do even worse than what they did with the installed Biden in the White House.

It took the left decades to build their machine, and much of it was hidden until now. They can't simply reimplement it, even over the course of an entire administration. The frog must be boiled slowly.

182 My take on Kamala Harris as a candidate - and where we are today - is that in 2024, we witnessed a Democrat Party that was overconfident, complacent, corrupt to its collective eyeballs, and completely dismissive of the electorate's concerns. The Junta figured if they could foist Joe Biden on the people for four years, they could run him again for another four. No problemo. Record illegal immigration? No problemo. Aimless foreign policy drifting towards WWIII? No problemo. First (and last) debate with Donald Trump? Mucho problemo. Solution: QB switch without a primary, without a discussion with the voters.

Fat and stupid and stuck with Harris.

I sat through some Netflix movie the supposedly Obamas "produced."

Which never did. Just introspective navel gazing at the end of the world.

Come to think of it, maybe the Obamas actually were involved.

Posted by: 13times at February 06, 2025 12:24 PM (P8u0B)

It's all about saying the least with the most words and sounding profound and direct.

So for example "Hi Kamala. How do you feel today?"

Kamala: "Today. Today. Today. Let's talk about today and how people feel. How *should* I feel? Because I will tell you that I feel a lot of things. A lot of things. (nods and smiles) And not just today but every day. I feel like a lot of things every day. And that's not going to go away. It's not going to go away because you or anyone tells me or wants it go away. It's not. So maybe instead of asking how *I* feel, you should really be asking *what* *everybody* feels. Because that's bigger than me. It's bigger than you. It's bigger than all of us. Because very often what we feel is much more fundamental than how we feel. And there's a real power in that. (nods sagaciously) It's empowering. (smiles)"

207 Glad to see CBS fight back on this ridiculous lawsuit. Trump expects stories edited like they do on Fox News about him. Sorry, but real journalists (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC) have different standards than the garbage they run at Fox.

If CBS settles, it will be the end of the networks allowing Democratic candidates on TV. If networks automatically take a huge financial hit merely by allowing a Democrat to speak on TV, they'll be forced to exclude them entirely.

Most of the sixty minutes crew announced they would quit if CBS settled; All but Anderson Cooper (the coward) who tried to convince the others to stay and not make a stand.

trump is just running his mouth. Watch Colbert or other late night shows, the View, etc. They are bashing trump relentlessly. Probably the best criticism of trump in media.

CNN reports the tape CBS turned over to the FCC totally debunks trump's accusations. The new guy at FCC is letting this drag on for weeks instead of shutting it down.

It's been done before to chill reporters. Trump's FCC is leveraging the Paramount/Sky Dance (owned by a Trumper billionaire) merger to get Trump some kind of publicity "win".

238 So for example "Hi Kamala. How do you feel today?"

Kamala: "Today. Today. Today. Let's talk about today and how people feel. How *should* I feel? Because I will tell you that I feel a lot of things. A lot of things. (nods and smiles) And not just today but every day. I feel like a lot of things every day. And that's not going to go away. It's not going to go away because you or anyone tells me or wants it go away. It's not. So maybe instead of asking how *I* feel, you should really be asking *what* *everybody* feels. Because that's bigger than me. It's bigger than you. It's bigger than all of us. Because very often what we feel is much more fundamental than how we feel. And there's a real power in that. (nods sagaciously) It's empowering. (smiles)"

Christy was once, essentially the Caitlin Clark of the boxing world. Nobody else was even close, in terms of popularity. And then she got in the ring with Muhammed Ali's daughter, and that was basically that for Christy's boxing career.

One common practice is to pay people for their mail in ballots. $20-$50 per person.

10,000 times, that's a minimum of $200,000 in one, probably, smallish city. In places like CA where it's all mail in ballots? The whole state's budget for buying mail in ballots is probably tens of millions of dollars.

Probably funded by NGOs.

I think personally there is a steal network and it is centered on James Clyburn and a certain church network that is prevalent in urban areas necessary for the steal. Basically, the Dems put phoney registrations and further pad the registration by refusing to delete dead people or people that moved out of the state. Then they request ballots for these phoney people to be delivered to places for the cheat network to pick up.

Then there is the cheating inside counting rooms were right ballots are added up multiple times and others discarded/corrected if 'wrong' (depending on voting systems used), and then cheating by paying poor people to pickup their ballots and kindly fill them out for the people.

I'm not an expert here but my thinking is that term of the "license" is probably unenforceable because unconstitutional. But my broader point is that we should respect the spirit of the First Amendment and not do everything we "can" when we shouldn't.

Nope. See Red Lion Broadcasting v. FCC
Fairness Doctrine. There are similar broad grants of authority to the FCC regarding obscenity and broadcasting with the public interest in mind.

Has to do with the limited monopoly that media is granted over the public airwaves. That means FCC can regulate it and radio because the government owns the airwaves and the others have a license from the FCC to use it.

Courts treat broadcasts differently than cable, internet (although FCC tried under Obama and Biden), and print.

Well, the broadcast spectrum is limited and the FCC has been given authority to regulate it. Without the ordered allocation of the spectrum, it would quickly devolve into uselessness.

My rule of thumb for 1A issues is that you have the right to a voice, but not a platform. If the FCC is permitting you use of a piece of the spectrum, then it's not out of bounds imo to insist on a certain level of performance. Driving on a public road comes with the requirement to abide by certain things too, after all.

383 Btw, I think we are going to hit one of those law things that have bugged me since the Clintons, that is, there are a lot of things that are "illegal" to do but, there is no explicit penalty or mechanism to punish offenders.

My cursory reading back during the days when Al Gore was taking bribes from China is that this isn't actually true. But the Clinton regime wasn't going to prosecute their VP for being their bag man

386 Braenyard. Its not about them removing something they don't want DOGE to find. It is removing info or links to info that people want and claiming that DOGE removed it.

Some of Elon's autists may think climate change is B.S. but Elon himself believes or used to believe in it.

Yes hopefully it can be shown that NOAA employee Jane Smith and not some DOGE dude edited the websites, but its a smear against DOGE that is being used.

Malicious compliance, as was someone in the CIA sending an unencrypted list of who the CIA had hired recently to DOGE.

I hope that the CIA person who did that deliberately is prosecuted under the Espionage Act.

405 360 I think DOGE will change more than the Federal Government. They are illustrating every day that you can actually audit budgets. Til now, it has always been Congress gets a humongous paper document that no one could possibly read so the vote must be on the totality.
They are proving that this is hogwash. That individual line items can be scrutinized. This will translate to state budgets, down to individual contracts. Possibly even voter rolls versus actual ballots. Maybe. Hopefully.

The methods are standard IT forensics.

DOGE gets read only access to everything. This has been the SOP at every stop. Gain RO and start sifting through all the data. Whatever bullshit roadblocks were/are attempted at the local level... the HQ steps in and drops the hammer.

The piss-ant stuff related to DEI? DOGE doesn't care. It's about the money trail(s). Until they get to the IC. Then (provided Tulsi's in the chair) shit gets real.

408 About Israeli hostages
Israel was notified yesterday that Hamas is releasing the bodies of the remaining members of the Bibas family, mother and two babies. My guess is that they have been dead since the beginning. Holding their bodies all this time is adds a level of cruelty unmatched since the holocaust. The father just released only to be told his entire family is dead.

Back in olden days when LBJ was president, he mistakenly moved toward the wrong helicopter rather than the one prepared for him. "Sir," a member of his guard said, "this is your helicopter" indicating the correct chopper. "Son," LBJ said, "they're all my helicopters."

424 Networks do not have FCC licenses. The individual stations do. There are stations owned by the network, but many more are owned by other companies and just affiliated with them.

The FCC can probably fine networks, but they can’t pull their rights to broadcast programming AFAIK. I don’t know how a network gets punished the same way an individual station might.
