Fake News Has No Shame: “60 Minutes” Picks Up 13 Emmy Nominations Including Segment Where They Selectively Edited and Spliced their Kamala Harris Interview before Election

Fomer CNN star Brian Stelter announced Thursday on X that “60 Minutes” picked up 13 Emmy nominations this year for their junk reporting.

The Emmy’s even nominated the infamous Kamala Harris interview they selectively edited and spliced sentences together to make her sound like a normal human. It as quite a piece of work.

It was completely fake. But that didn’t stop the Emmy’s from nominating their fake news segment in the television news and documentary category.

In the runup to the 2024 election, Fake news 60 Minutes was caught editing Kamala’s answers to make her sound coherent and normal.

it was so bad that ’60 Minutes’ spliced her nonsensical answer and replaced it with a completely separate sentence she said earlier in the interview.

Mixing and matching questions and answers. This isn’t journalism. It’s fraud.

Here is a sampling of the fake news they pushed on Americans.

CBS News owner Paramount ready to settle Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit over ’60 Minutes’: report

CBS News owner Paramount Global is reportedly ready to settle President Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit over the “60 Minutes” interview last year with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

Paramount’s board has drafted acceptable financial terms for a potential settlement with Trump, The New York Times reported Tuesday, citing anonymous sources. However, the exact dollar amount is unclear.

Trump’s lawsuit alleges the TV news network deceptively edited a “60 Minutes” interview with Harris, who at the time of the interview was also the Democratic nominee in the presidential race.

In January, The Times reported that Paramount was having conversations with Trump to settle the lawsuit, which at the time was for $10 billion, before Trump increased it to $20 billion in February.

Last week, the executive producer for “60 Minutes” said he was stepping down from his role because he could no longer objectively oversee the show as it faces backlash over Trump’s lawsuit.

Earlier this month, Trump posted on Truth Social that he is “so honored to be suing 60 Minutes, CBS Fake News, and Paramount, over their fraudulent, beyond recognition, reporting,” adding that the network did everything possible to “illegally elect” Harris and that it “must be responsible for what they have done and are doing.”

Trump Says “Out Of Control” CBS’ 60 Minutes Should “Lose License”

Late Sunday night, President Donald Trump unleashed a Truth Social bomb, accusing CBS’ 60 Minutes of routinely airing “derogatory and defamatory” stories about him — but said this weekend’s broadcast on the left-wing network “tops them all.”

“Almost every week, 60 Minutes, which is being sued for Billions of Dollars for the fraud they committed in the 2024 Presidential Election with their Interview of Failed Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris, mentions the name “TRUMP” in a derogatory and defamatory way, but this weekend’s “BROADCAST” tops them all,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. 

The president continued: “They did not one, but TWO, major stories on “TRUMP,” one having to do with Ukraine, which I say is a War that would never have happened if the 2020 Election had not been RIGGED, in other words, if I were president and, the other story was having to do with Greenland, casting our Country, as led by me, falsely, inaccurately, and fraudulently.”

Trump reiterated his ongoing $20 billion lawsuit against 60 Minutes over its “fraudulent, beyond recognition, reporting,” including allegations that it deceptively edited an interview with failed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris ahead of last fall’s election.

Fired CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge reveals photos of files on Hunter Biden, COVID origins seized by network: ‘Attack on investigative journalism’

Fired CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge posted photos of the confidential files seized by the network — which “included sensitive reporting about COVID-19 origins and Hunter Biden.”

The award-winning investigative journalist — who was dismissed last February as part of wider layoffs by embattled parent company Paramount Global — stirred up a firestorm in her bid to regain the materials before the network gave back the items weeks later.

“Exactly one year ago, @CBSNews returned my investigative reporting files,” Herridge wrote on X on Wednesday.

“Today, I am releasing photos of the records for the first time so you can see the sheer volume involved.”

One photo showed stacks of folders next to a Home Depot-labeled box.

Herridge wrote that the material encompassed four large moving boxes weighing over 100 pounds in total that were seized by the network.

Herridge referred to CBS News’ actions as a “journalistic rape” and “an attack on investigative journalism.”

“I hope no investigative reporter has to suffer a similar injustice in the future,” she added.

A CBS News spokesperson declined to comment.

The incident led to a hearing last April by a House Judiciary subcommittee, titled “Fighting for a Free Press: Protecting Journalists and Their Sources.”

What the Hell Is Wrong With CBS News?

The weekendus horribilis (with apologies to anyone who actually knows Latin) at CBS News was a marvel to behold, as though division chief Wendy McMahon had spent days carefully laying a field full of rakes before donning clown shoes and dancing across the field to Ricky Martin’s “Livin’ la Vida Loca.”

As I’m sure you’re already aware, things kicked off Sunday morning with the social media backlash — I need a better, happier word than “backlash” — to “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan insisting to SecState Marco Rubio that the problem with the Nazis was all their free speech.

PJ’s own Sarah Anderson had that story for you in near real-time yesterday, but let me give you a brief rundown. Vice President JD Vance’s European address defending free speech was given “in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide,” is a thing Brennan actually said out loud on network television, perhaps because she lost a bet.

Sarah still has all the gory details in case you missed it yesterday. 

Today, Victoria Taft nailed it with her column, echoing the principal in “Billy Madison.”

“Margaret,” Rubio could have said, “What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.”

My only issue with Victoria’s column is that I didn’t write it. Read the whole thing if you haven’t already.

But that was only the first of many dozen rakes CBS News stepped on last weekend.

Incredible: CBS Anchor Claims Free Speech Caused The Holocaust

During an interview with Secretary of State Marco Rubi Sunday, CBS’s “Face the Nation” anchor Margaret Brennan brazenly declared that Nazis “weaponized” free speech to conduct the Holocaust.

Brennan asked Rubio about Vice President JD Vance’s speech in Munich where he blasted attending European elites for killing free speech in their countries and trying to silence any citizens who do not share their warped globalist world views.

Brennan charges that Vance “lectured about what he described as censorship, mainly focusing, though, on including more views from the right. He also met with the leader of a far-right party known as the AfD, which, as you know, is under investigation and monitoring by German intelligence because of extremism.”

She then asked Rubio “What did all of this accomplish, other than irritating our allies?”

Rubio responded, “Why would our allies or anybody be irritated by free speech and by someone giving their opinion? We are, after all, democracies.”

“I think if anyone’s angry about his words, they don’t have to agree with him, but to be angry about it, I think actually makes his point,” Rubio added.

FCC Considers Revoking CBS License Over Kamala Harris’ ’60 Minutes’ Interview Controversy

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is reportedly considering revoking CBS’s broadcast license after the network aired a controversial interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris on “60 Minutes.” The interview sparked widespread outrage and calls for accountability after the network aired a misleading version, including highly distorted answers from Harris’ responses. According to a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump, CBS violated state law by demonstrating deceptive acts in business conduct and “doctored” a “word salad” response from the failed Democrat presidential candidate about the Biden administration’s involvement in the Israel-Hamas war. The FCC’s review stems from concerns that the interview may have violated broadcasting standards, prompting scrutiny over whether CBS acted in the public interest. 

In the past two weeks, FCC Chair Brendan Carr launched investigations into three news outlets and reinstated complaints against three others, including NBC and ABC. The complaint against ABC received a “news distortion” complaint over its fact-checking by the moderators in the presidential debate between Harris and Trump that heavily favored Harris. Meanwhile, the complaint against NBC claimed that Harris’s appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” which aired just weeks before the election, violated “equal time” rules governing political programming.

Former FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel, a Democrat, dismissed any probe into the interview, saying the complaints “seek to weaponize the licensing authority of the FCC in a way that is fundamentally at odds with the First Amendment.”

However, Carr said he doesn’t “see how the FCC can reasonably adjudicate this claim of news distortion without seeing what was actually said.”

Unedited ‘60 Minutes’ Kamala Interview Proves Again The Democrat 2024 Campaign Was A Media-Driven Psyop

It’s been three months since the election, and there are still so many unanswered questions as to what exactly happened in the very obvious partnership that took place between the dying national news media and the Kamala Harris campaign. But a little more clarity was offered this week when Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, released the full nearly hour-long interview CBS “60 Minutes” aired with Harris several weeks before Election Day.

The disclosure of the raw footage came as CBS cooperated with a complaint to the FCC from the Center for American Rights, a right-leaning law firm that accused the network of news distortion. The allegation followed a discrepancy observers noted between the short tease that CBS released in advance of the full “60 Minutes” episode and the final cut that aired and showed Harris offering a different answer to the same question.

What we know now is that CBS’s original explanation for the issue, that it merely used a separate portion of a longer answer in the production that went to air, is true. But that doesn’t clear the network of its questionable decision to clean up not only that newsworthy portion of the interview, in which Harris’s fuller answer is hysterically confused, but in other parts, too.

Another highly suspect omission from the final cut was an extended portion in which Harris wasn’t asked some convoluted question on geopolitical matters or macro economics, but on why she wants to be president. “There are many reasons but probably, um, first and foremost, I truly believe in the promise of America,” she droned in an alarmingly slow cadence. “I do. And I love the American people. You know, we are a people who have ambition and aspirations and dreams and optimism and hope.”

Without even being able to see interviewer Bill Whitaker, you can feel his eyes mentally rolling to the back of his skull. The portion was surely nixed for its banality, but it’s a fundamental question the average voter would want an answer to, regardless of whether Harris has a deeply superficial, deeply boring answer.

In another portion, Whitaker asks another obvious one — what was Harris’s explanation for changing her position to the opposite of her previous stances on virtually every major issue.

Raw Footage Reveals ’60 Minutes’ Allowed Kamala Harris to Lie When Cameras Were Rolling – Then Demanded the Truth When Cameras Were Off

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Wednesday released the raw ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.

Last week it was reported that the FCC is investigating CBS’s deceptively edited 60 Minutes interview with former Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Fake news 60 Minutes was caught editing Kamala’s answers to make her sound coherent and normal.

In fact it was so bad that ’60 Minutes’ spliced her nonsensical answer and replaced it with a completely separate sentence she said earlier in the interview.

Mixing and matching questions and answers. This isn’t journalism. It’s fraud.

President Trump’s FCC Chair Brendan Carr demanded that CBS hand over the unedited transcript of the infamous ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.

On Wednesday, the FCC released an unedited, raw version of Harris’s ’60 Minutes’ interview.

CBS Agrees to Turn Over 60 Minutes’ Kamala Harris Interview Script to FCC

CBS News announced it would hand over the transcript of its “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) at the center of President Trump’s lawsuit against the company.

The FCC, led by Trump appointee Brendan Carr, sent a letter of inquiry on Wednesday demanding the “full, unedited transcript and camera feeds” from the network’s October interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

“We are working to comply with that inquiry as we are legally compelled to do,” a CBS News spokesman said in a statement Friday. 

This comes amid settlement discussions between President Trump and the news outlet’s parent company, Paramount, over Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against CBS News accusing the outlet of deceptively editing its “60 Minutes” interview with Harris.

The New York Times reported that there is “no assurance” the two parties will reach a deal, but noted that “Shari Redstone, Paramount’s controlling shareholder, strongly supports the effort to settle.”

CBS News came under fire shortly after airing its Harris interview when “Face the Nation” and “60 Minutes” aired two different answers by Harris to the same question.

Harris’s unedited answer aired by Face the Nation appeared to be an incoherent word salad related to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Oftentimes answers are truncated or slightly edited for time, but “60 Minutes” aired a completely different response by Harris in its interview.

The Trump campaign then claimed Harris’ “word salad was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala’s idiotic response.”

“60 Minutes” responded that Trump’s characterization the outlet deceptively edited the interview was “false,” admitting it edited Harris’ answer but argued the alteration was not deceptive.
