A complaint doesn't mean shit. A bunch of crazy evangelicals fire off complaints every time there's a gay sex scene on television. I always wonder why they're watching. Originally Posted by Laugh-riot

Reaching further back:
My recollection (I could be wrong) is that bqck in the 1970s, CBS news did an expose on cars that explded when in a rear end accident. They couldn't get it to happen on film and so rigged a car to blow up with a pyrotechnic device . . .and they got caught. Originally Posted by ICU 812

But the maggies love to rag on Dan but turn a blind eye to his integrity stepping down for the Wubu story. Don't see one person at foxy with such screwples (sp). I guess you get that way when you are just use to taking the $$$$. Originally Posted by Precious_b

This is only an issue for those already convinced that mainstream media bias overrides ethics. 60 minutes has responded to the accusations.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-statement/
Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false.
60 Minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to Face the Nation that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes. Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response. When we edit any interview, whether a politician, an athlete, or movie star, we strive to be clear, accurate and on point. The portion of her answer on 60 Minutes was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide ranging 21-minute-long segment.
Remember, Mr. Trump pulled out of his interview with 60 Minutes and the vice president participated.
Our long-standing invitation to former President Trump remains open. If he would like to discuss the issues facing the nation and the Harris interview, we would be happy to have him on 60 Minutes. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

That-way, they keep whatever journalistic integrity they have left.

I also think this is highly hypocritical considering how often right wing media gives Trump a pass for the racist, fascist, sexist, and straight up stupid things he says.
Exactly, those were her words. The editied content did not come from CBS.
@Waco, no story here, just a nothing burger. Trump is right CBS would not do that for him, however, Fox News sure would. Hannity, Laura "I can't get a date" Ingrahm and Cyrus from The Five Originally Posted by adav8s28
