Calls for Investigation into CBS News Editing

Former CBS News staffers are demanding an independent investigation into '60 Minutes' after the show aired a deceptively edited interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. The controversy stems from Harris providing two different responses to a question about Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's apparent disregard for U.S. calls for restraint, with one answer aired on 'Face the Nation' and a different, more succinct version shown on '60 Minutes.' Critics argue this editing raises serious questions about CBS's journalistic integrity and impartiality, particularly in the context of the upcoming presidential election. CBS has cited time constraints for the editing choice but has refused to release the full transcript of the interview. The situation has drawn attention from various quarters, including former President Donald Trump, who has also criticized CBS's practices. Calls for a review include suggestions to bring back former standards executive Al Ortiz to lead the investigation.
