Obviously interviews are edited all the time. That didn’t stop Trump from suing 60 Minutes for supposedly editing a Kamala Harris interview. He sued for $10 billion, they gave him $16 million.
Wow. There’s something rotten in Denmark.(Not to disparage Danes, but just sayin’).
I don’t watch enough news to know bad from good. I think I can tell if it’s a blatant lie. But who knows?
After the presidential elections I refuse to watch any of it. I thought CNN was telling me the truth.
Live and learn.
That’s awesome, I will probably end up borrowing it.
Actually, why don’t you provide a cite instead of just making a statement and asking for one.
Of course, and that’s part of the evidence that CBS and its parent companies has caved to Trump.
The point, and the answer to your original question:
…is that there is almost undoubtedly not an “anti-Trump” (i.e., a litigious liberal with deep pockets) who’s going to sue CBS for not airing the unedited interview.
(If I misunderstood your earlier post, and you were posing a rhetorical question, to which the answer was “no one, obviously,” then I apologize.)
There will be lies. With what 60 Minutes has become, those lies will be unchallenged.
I’d forgotten that. But, yes, despite the fact that being asked to be part of 60 Minutes used to be an honor in the world of journalism, it isn’t that anymore.
She’s gay (openly) herself. So it doesn’t seem the case that she’s interested in equality or social justice, so much as it is her own self-interest.
Not rhetorical exactly. I was just responding to the post about the interview being edited. Just a reminder that he sued the same program for editing Kamala Harris. I don’t expect anyone to sue after the inevitable hypocrisy. The circumstances are a bit different. The original suit had no merit of course but at least it could be argued that he had standing. No campaign happening now.
I still hold that these networks, 'in light of recent lawsuits regarding editing interviews", should air the entire interview. If he dozes off for 10 minutes, air it. If he’s asked about the Epstein files and rambles for 15 minutes, air it. If he audibly farts or fills his diaper, air it. Just air the entire, unedited, interview from the time he walks in to the time he walks out, no cuts. Let his supporters see why interviews are edited (and how much work the editors put into making him not look like a jackass). Let Trump sue them for ‘making him look bad’ by airing everything he says.
Or go the opposite way and, barring ‘equal time’*, just refuse to even interview him.
*Come to think of it, regardless of what he thinks or says, he’s not a candidate in an election so the equal time rule wouldn’t, I don’t think, apply to him. But I’m sure he’d find some way to take them to court over it.
“How’s the ballroom looking? How’s the arch looking?” End of interview. 
I’ll wait for the greatest hits on youtube afterwards.
Today I learned from Donald Trump that George Washington was involved in “whatever crypto was at the time.” Thank you for your attention to this matter, Mr. President.
And in a 1-minute fact check on Google I learned that John F. Kennedy, Herbert Hoover and possibly George Washington also did not take a salary while they were President, so Trump’s altruism is not unique.
I saw it, although I didn’t give it my full attention.
Human butthole Ross Douthat was the interviewer and it was HIGHLY edited. Douthat did this stupid voiceover translating and sane washing each portion of the interview before running the portion of the interview (more like a clip, really) where Trump allegedly said what Douthat attributed to him.
Trump seemed mildly sedated and was babbling around the questions about his historic election loss and immigration policy, long rambling answers that came down to “some people say this, some people say that”, and Douthat couldn’t pin him down and get him to say which group of talking people he agreed with .
The corruption questions were next, and Douthat skated close to being an actual journalist for a few minutes when he pressed Trump on the amount of money he and his family are raking in,this is the section with the clip that has already gone viral, in which Trump told Douthat that everyone had made 3 billion dollars in the stock market, Douthat said he hadn’t and Trump told him he should’ve bought stock.
Then we went into a new level of absurdity and a new low for the already low 60 Minutes, where Douthat asked Trump about space aliens and death and mortality. It was ridiculous.
Then, having given up on their mission ushering in a new era of fascism for the US, they crossed the ocean to France and did a long infomercial for fascist Marine Le Pen.
60 Minutes has gone downhill hard, the entire show just seemed so amateurish.
Say what? Huh?
Just…wow…
I’ve mentioned this a few times before… I watched 60 Minutes for decades and quit for good the weekend after the Jan 6 assault on the Capitol. I had seen Leslie Stahl previously do several softball interviews with Trump, but the weekend after Jan 6 they aired an interview with a still visibly shaken Nancy Pelosi, and now Stahl decided it was time to take the gloves off. I turned it off and never went back.
I hope the new Congress looks close at these bogus lawsuit settlements. I suppose it’s easier for an organization to claim “lawsuit” rather than “bribe” in financial reports.
He’s there for one reason, and that is to campaign for 2028. He’ll lie and mesmerize as many people as possible, just like he always does.
For anyone who wants to watch it (which doesn’t include me, yet), the extended interview (51:46 in length) is available on YouTube.
Or plug “Bari Weiss” + “MAGA” into Google:
