Media: Yes, We Edit in Politicians’ Answers & It’s No Big Deal
“To those unfamiliar with journalism and television production, the effect can be jarring.”
The three phases of media coverage of abuses on their side are…
- Complete denial – it’s a conspiracy theory, it’s disinformation, no one seriously believes this
- It happens very rarely – it’s a once-in-a-blue-moon event and being blown out of proportion
- It happens all the time – and it’s a good thing too
The 60 Minutes interview of Kamala Harris got a little awkward, not just because the VP mumbled random nonsense in response to questions, but because CBS News got caught splicing the interview together like it was a bad movie from an artsy Austrian director they brought some hack in to save.

After all of this hit social media like a thunderstorm, along with demands that CBS News release the transcript of the interview (not at all unprecedented), the media has fired back with “you foolish rubes!”
Portions of the Harris interview ran Monday on the newsmagazine and on the Sunday morning political show “Face the Nation.” On two occasions, it depicted Harris giving different answers to questions posed by correspondent Bill Whitaker on the Biden administration’s efforts to stop the war in the Mideast.
For CBS News, it was considered part of the typical editing and cross-promotion process that takes place for a big interview. Yet to those unfamiliar with journalism and television production, the effect can be jarring.
“To those unfamiliar with journalism” it can be “jarring” when a political candidate is seen “giving different answers to questions”.
So we’re officially in Stage 3, it happens all the time – and it’s a good thing too.
Also “those unfamiliar with journalism” may find it jarring when the media lies all the time.
Catherine Herridge, who worked as a senior CBS News Investigative correspondent, and other former network staffers are apparently “unfamiliar with journalism”.
“I think there should be an outside investigation,” one former CBS News journalist told The Post on Thursday. “Obviously, there’s a problem here. If they care about journalistic integrity, they would conduct an investigation or release the full transcript.”
A second CBS source said the discrepancy in the answers makes it seem that the network’s flagship show is “biased.”
Journalistic integrity? Boy are they unfamiliar with mainstream media journalism.
