The author claims this could amount to \u200da cover-up or an illegal contribution \u200cto her\u200c campaign, as\u2064 CBS has not released the full interview \u2063or a complete transcript, which raises concerns about transparency and journalistic \u200bintegrity. The situation has drawn parallels to legal issues faced by former\u2063 President Donald Trump over campaign finance violations. \u200bThe author calls for an investigation into CBS&#8217;s actions, arguing that\u200c if &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; edited the content\u2062 inappropriately, it could damage its reputation as\u200d a reputable news source.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TJys7OVH24E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS News\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/22\/is-cbs-refusing-to-release-its-full-kamala-60-minutes-interview-because-it-let-her-redo-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Is%20CBS%20Refusing%20To%20Release%20Its%20Full%20Kamala%20%E2%80%9860%20Minutes%E2%80%99%20Interview%20Because%20It%20Let%20Her%20Redo%20Answers?&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/22\/is-cbs-refusing-to-release-its-full-kamala-60-minutes-interview-because-it-let-her-redo-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Is%20CBS%20Refusing%20To%20Release%20Its%20Full%20Kamala%20%E2%80%9860%20Minutes%E2%80%99%20Interview%20Because%20It%20Let%20Her%20Redo%20Answers?&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/22\/is-cbs-refusing-to-release-its-full-kamala-60-minutes-interview-because-it-let-her-redo-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/22\/is-cbs-refusing-to-release-its-full-kamala-60-minutes-interview-because-it-let-her-redo-answers\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Is%20CBS%20Refusing%20To%20Release%20Its%20Full%20Kamala%20%E2%80%9860%20Minutes%E2%80%99%20Interview%20Because%20It%20Let%20Her%20Redo%20Answers?&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/22\/is-cbs-refusing-to-release-its-full-kamala-60-minutes-interview-because-it-let-her-redo-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" onclick=\"window.print();

Taken in context &mdash;&nbsp;CBS&rsquo;s declining to release a full, accurate transcript, plus video, and its decision to make that specific edit (and potentially others) &mdash;&nbsp;it&rsquo;s a much seedier situation.<\/p>\n<p>No matter which way you cut it, following either avenue through to its logical conclusion demonstrates CBS to have made editorial decisions that either violate its journalistic standards (to the extent they exist) or potentially expose the network to legal penalties for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fec-drops-its-inquiry-into-trumps-payments-to-stormy-daniels\/\" title=\"FEC Drops Its Inquiry Into Trump\u2019s Payments To Stormy Daniels\">violating campaign finance law<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Just to drive home the point, Donald Trump was criminally prosecuted and convicted for virtually the same alleged transgression. The former president was accused of failing to comply with campaign finance laws by paying a lawyer to settle a legal dispute and neglecting to specify the details during an election year. Similarly, CBS arguably donated time and resources to assisting Kamala&rsquo;s campaign without publicly disclosing its contribution.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-9a18fb9aada58bee66ba60a7768203fa fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-9a18fb9aada58bee66ba60a7768203fa\"><\/div>\n<p>If Democrats and the media are as devoted to the integrity of our elections as they profess, then it&rsquo;s only reasonable that the Justice Department intervene and perhaps appoint a special counsel to investigate whether any laws were broken by CBS.<\/p>\n<p>If &ldquo;60 Minutes&rdquo; heeded the Kamala campaign&rsquo;s request to re-shoot full answers to even a single question, then the program has irreparably shattered whatever is left of its reputation as a prestigious news magazine. If &ldquo;60 Minutes&rdquo; surreptitiously edited its program after initial public criticism proved harmful to a political candidate, then it may need to disclose its campaign contribution, which would have been illegal anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Which one is it? Representatives for CBS News didn&rsquo;t respond to my email on Tuesday. But the fact that they have only released an interview transcript that voters know for a fact is incomplete, at minimum, makes this a cover-up, a scandal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-0c86f401d770843ed1ddb5546eac66f1 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-0c86f401d770843ed1ddb5546eac66f1\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and author of &#8220;<a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.com\/Liberal-Misery-Hateful-Everything-Everyone\/dp\/1637584350\">Liberal Misery: How the Hateful Left Sucks Joy Out of Everything and Everyone<\/a>.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-30 bdr-top-bold-black\">\n<div class=\"row g-0 align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n<div class=\"article-author-profile d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center justify-content-md-start\">\n<div class=\"article-author-details\">\n<div class=\"label-md\">Eddie Scarry<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author-twitter label-sm d-flex align-items-center mt-10\">             <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter me-5\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>             <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Visit on Twitter<\/span>            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eScarry\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text-decoration-none\" rel=\"noopener\">@eScarry<\/a>           <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 d-flex justify-content-center justify-content-md-end mt-15 mt-md-0\">        <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/author\/eddiescarry\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">More Articles<\/a>     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-tags bdr-top-black mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-15 pt-md-45\">\n<ul class=\"list-unstyled d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center mb-0 mx-n10 p-0\">\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/2024\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">2024<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/2024-election\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">2024 election<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/60-minutes\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">60 Minutes<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/cbs\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">CBS<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Donald Trump<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/interview\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Interview<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Kamala Harris<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/media\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Media<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are two possibilities regarding the &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; interview where Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; response was edited: either her team requested changes, or CBS made edits independently.
