With less than a month until the election, allegations of favorable editing of Vice President Kamala Harris by “60 Minutes” are stirring controversy. The New York Post has reported that Harris’ response to a question about Israel on the show was different from what was shown in a clip on “Face the Nation” the day before. Former President Donald Trump has criticized the show for supposedly favoring Harris and has refused an invitation to appear. Calls for an investigation into the editing of the show have been made by former CBS journalists, with some asking for the release of unedited footage. CBS has not commented on the possibility of a probe or releasing the full transcript. In a race that has seen limited debates and extensive sound bites, polls show a tight race for the presidency as it enters the final stretch. The controversy surrounding Harris’ appearance on “60 Minutes” adds to the tension of an already heated election season.
