唐纳德·特朗普跳过在过去一周的“60分钟”采访中，他攻击CBS如何处理与对手的对话卡玛拉·哈里斯，称这是一个“巨大的假新闻骗局”，并暗示该网络是为了保护她。
哈里斯采访的部分内容在周一的新闻杂志和周日早间的政治节目“面对国家”中播出在两个场合，它描述了哈里斯对记者比尔·惠特克提出的关于拜登政府努力阻止中东战争.
对于CBS新闻来说，这被认为是大型采访中典型的编辑和交叉推广过程的一部分。然而，对于那些不熟悉新闻和电视制作的人来说，这种效果可能是不和谐的。
惠特克于9月28日周六下午在华盛顿采访了哈里斯，两天后的周一播出了特别广播。但是《60分钟》向《面对国家》的同事们提供了那次采访的一部分，既是为了给周日早间节目提供一些新鲜的新闻，也是为了“调侃”那次更长的采访。
惠特克注意到，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡似乎没有听取政府的建议。
“嗯，比尔，我们所做的工作导致了以色列在该地区的一些运动，这些运动在很大程度上是由许多事情推动或导致的，包括我们对该地区需要发生的事情的倡导，”副总统在“面对国家”的剪辑中回应说。
在“60分钟”节目中，惠特克说了同样的话后，哈里斯回答说:“我们不会停止追求美国必须清楚我们在这场战争结束的必要性上的立场。”
在网上指出这些差异后，特朗普在他的Truth Social feed上说，哈里斯的“真正答案是疯狂的，或者说是愚蠢的，所以他们实际上用另一个答案取代了它，以便拯救她，或者至少让她看起来更好。”
那么哈里斯到底对惠特克说了什么?
据哥伦比亚广播公司报道，两者皆有。她对这个问题的完整回答是两句话——第一句用在《面对全国》上，第二句用在《60分钟》上
哥伦比亚广播公司说，使“60分钟”采访片段简洁的需要促使编辑。对哈里斯的完整采访花了45分钟，被安排在20分钟的广播时段里。然而，这一编辑似乎让“60分钟”节目中显示的答案成了哈里斯回答这个问题的第一句话。让“面对国家”节目显示惠特克提出这个问题——而不是让别人转述它——增加了混乱，使哥伦比亚广播公司容易受到批评。
该网络不会对特朗普的批评作出回应，但私下坚持认为，没有做任何有利于哈里斯的事情。该网络指出，早些时候特朗普几次接受该节目采访时，也有同样的过程。
当被问及《综艺》的风波时，哈里斯竞选团队的一名助手说，“我们不能控制CBS的制作决策。"
根据对广播的检查，在惠特克观察到以色列领导人似乎没有听取美国意见之前的问题也发生了同样的事情。惠特克概述了内塔尼亚胡采取的一些行动，拜登政府敦促他不要这样做，并问道，“政府对内塔尼亚胡总理没有影响力吗?”
在“60分钟”节目中，哈里斯的回答很简短:“我们与以色列领导人在外交上所做的工作是围绕明确我们的原则进行的。”
然而在“面对国家”节目中，哈里斯给出了一个持续了整整一分钟的回答，甚至没有包括第二天晚上“60分钟”节目中的引用。作为回答的一部分，哈里斯谈到了实现停火和释放被哈马斯扣押的人质的努力。她说:“我们不会停止向以色列和该地区，包括阿拉伯领导人施加压力。”。
特朗普竞选团队呼吁哥伦比亚广播公司新闻发布哈里斯采访的完整、未经编辑的文字记录。"他们和卡玛拉有什么好隐瞒的?"该运动的新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特说。该节目有时会在网上播放较长版本的采访，但不会发布未经编辑的文字记录。
在2020年与民主党人乔·拜登竞选期间，特朗普对他与“60分钟”记者莱斯利·斯塔尔的采访非常恼火，以至于他缩短了会议时间，后来发布了这场运动的录音完整的未经编辑的采访。
与此同时，特朗普的一些批评者谴责媒体今年秋天编辑和消毒他在集会和社交媒体帖子中的一些话，这个过程被他们称为“sanewashing”
Trump's complaints about '60 Minutes' put a spotlight on editing at the nation's top newsmagazine
Donald Trumpskippeda “60 Minutes” interview this past week, but he's attacking CBS for how it handled its session with opponentKamala Harris, calling it a “giant fake news scam” and suggesting the network was out to protect her.
Portions of the Harris interview ran Monday on the newsmagazine and on the Sunday morning political show “Face the Nation." On two occasions, it depicted Harris giving different answers to questions posed by correspondent Bill Whitaker on the Biden administration's efforts to stop thewar in the Mideast.
For CBS News, it was considered part of the typical editing and cross-promotion process that takes place for a big interview. Yet to those unfamiliar with journalism and television production, the effect can be jarring.
Whitaker interviewed Harris on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 28, in Washington for the special broadcast that aired Monday, two days later. But “60 Minutes” offered a portion of that interview to colleagues at “Face the Nation,” both to give the Sunday morning show some fresh news and to “tease” the longer interview.
At one point, Whitaker observed that it appeared Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, did not appear to be listening to the administration's suggestions.
“Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region,” the vice president said in response, on the “Face the Nation” clip.
On “60 Minutes,” after Whitaker said the same thing, Harris answered: “We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”
After the differences were pointed out online, Trump said on his Truth Social feed that Harris' “REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED it with another answer in order to save her or, at least, to make her look better.”
So what did Harris actually say to Whitaker?
Well, both things, according to CBS. Her full answer to the question was the two sentences put together — the first sentence used on “Face the Nation” and the second sentence on “60 Minutes.”
CBS said the need to make the “60 Minutes” interview segment concise prompted the editing. The full interview with Harris took 45 minutes, and it was fit into a 20-minute slot on the broadcast. Yet the editing made it appear that the answer shown on “60 Minutes” was the first thing Harris said in response to the question. Having “Face the Nation” show Whitaker asking the question — instead of having someone paraphrase it — added to the confusion and made CBS vulnerable to criticism.
The network would not respond to Trump's criticisms on the record but privately insisted nothing was done with the intention of benefiting Harris. The network has pointed out that the same process was in place when Trump was interviewed for the show several times earlier.
Asked about the flap by Variety, an aide to the Harris campaign said that “we do not control CBS' production decisions.”
According to an examination of the broadcasts, the same thing happened with the question that preceded Whitaker's observation that the Israeli leader did not appear to be listening to the U.S. Whitaker outlined a number of actions that Netanyahu had taken that the Biden administration had urged him not to, and asked, “Does the administration have no sway over Prime Minister Netanyahu?”
On “60 Minutes,” Harris' answer was brief: “The work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles.”
Yet on “Face the Nation,” Harris was shown giving an answer that lasted a full minute — and did not even include the quote that was used on “60 Minutes" the next night. As part of that answer, Harris spoke of efforts to achieve a ceasefire and the release of hostages held by Hamas. “We're not going to stop in terms of putting the pressure on Israel and in the region, including Arab leaders,” she said.
The Trump campaign has called for CBS News to release a full, unedited transcript of the Harris interview. “What do they, and Kamala, have to hide?” said Karoline Leavitt, the campaign's press secretary. The show sometimes airs longer versions of interviews online but does not release unedited transcripts.
During his 2020 campaign against Democrat Joe Biden, Trump was so annoyed with his interview with “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl that he cut short the session, and laterreleased the campaign's recordingof the full, unedited interview.
Meanwhile, some of Trump's critics have condemned the media this fall forediting and sanitizingsome of his words during rallies and social media posts, a process they've called “sanewashing.”
