Recently, on the social media platform X, a keen video editor named &#8220;MAZE&#8221; observed that CBS News seemed to have edited out one of Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; most confusing responses from her recent &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; interview and replaced it with a different answer\u2014an apparent cut-and-paste job described by one user as \u201ca significant journalistic scandal.\u201d If intentional, this editing tactic substituted Harris\u2019 incoherent response with a more coherent one. The clip has garnered over 6.8 million views as of Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Libs of TikTok, a well-known conservative account with over 3.5 million followers on X, shared MAZE&#8217;s video further amplifying its reach and generating an additional 2.7 million views. They commented: \u201cBREAKING: 60 Minutes just quietly *edited out* Kamala\u2019s word salad answer on Israel. Unreal,\u201d highlighting the situation.<\/p>\n<p>The incident quickly attracted widespread attention and outrage; an X user named John G.
