Some television networks and newspapers are going to great lengths to prop up vice president Kamala Harris’s campaign. This raises serious questions about journalistic ethics and election interference. The most serious example is a CBS 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. CBS promoted the interview with a clip from Harris answering a question from journalist Bill Whitaker. Well, Whitaker asked whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was listening to the Biden Harris administration’s demands for Israel to show more military restraint. HARRIS responded, 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 that region.
Her word salad answer to that question is not the one that aired when the interview was broadcast on 60 minutes. Instead, a more succinct response was edited and pasted.
It was pasted in from another part of the interview so far, CBS a stone wall and demands that they released a full transcript of the interview. In another controversy involving CBS faced the nation program, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said North Carolina victims of Hurricane Helene told him that nearly two weeks after landfall, the Biden Harris administration has still not provided them with all of the resources that they desperately needed. Speaker Johnson argued that CBS selectively edited out an entire part of his response. He had a firsthand perspective, and yet the speaker said CBS edited out. They edited out his mention of the Biden Harris administration sue in Virginia to stop them from cleaning up their state’s voter rolls so that the non American citizens can’t vote there. Johnson said this highlighted the need for Congress to pass the safeguard American voters eligibility act called Save but that was also edited out of that broadcast CBS chose to focus only on the 2020, election instead of immediate threats to election integrity. This is from Speaker Johnson Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow Christopher Rufo also had a complaint because he released a report accusing Kamala Harris of more than a dozen instances of vicious plagiarism in her 2009 book, smart on crime. However, the New York Times this time, they reported that Rufo said Harris copied five short passages for her book, and the times cited their own plagiarism expert who said the lapses weren’t serious. It’s one thing for the times to dispute the findings in rufo’s report, but it looks like they’re running interference for the Harris campaign when they misrepresent what a prominent researcher like Rufo actually said, Voters deserve straight news and transparency from the media, not misleading reporting and that selective editing, we don’t need that to prop up their favorite candidate. No wonder so many do not trust mainstream media today do.
CBS and mainstream news outlets show pro-Harris bias
By Straight Arrow News
Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris recently sat down for an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes to respond to a range of questions, including questions about Israel’s war against Hamas and the U.S. relationship to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. CBS edited the full 45-minute interview down to a 20-minute segment, a typical length for the 60 Minutes program, and previewed part of the full interview in an earlier program.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump claimed that there were significant discrepancies between Harris’s responses in the earlier preview clip and the final 20-minute cut that aired on 60 Minutes.
Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker reviews the CBS interview and other recent incidents to argue that corporate “mainstream” news companies are favoring candidate Harris over candidate Trump.

Some television networks and newspapers are going to great lengths to prop up Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign. This raises serious questions about journalistic ethics and election interference. The most serious example is a CBS “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris. CBS promoted the interview with a clip from Harris answering a question from journalist Bill Whitaker. Well, Whitaker asked whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was listening to the Biden-Harris administration’s demands for Israel to show more military restraint.
Harris responded: “…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 that region.”
Her word salad answer to that question is not the one that aired when the interview was broadcast on “60 Minutes.” Instead, a more succinct response was edited and pasted.
