60 Minutes

Filing this one for CBS in the better-late-than-never category (or perhaps decades late), Sunday’s episode of 60 Minutes led with a lengthy profile of the upstart University of Austin (UATX) and its classical liberal education and commitment to free speech as a way of realizing that, for lack of a better term, American universities are not only hot beds of chaos (as exhibited by the…

On Sunday’s episode of 60 Minutes — which ironically ran for 90 minutes — CBS host Scott Pelley had a brief update on the 2024 election fallout and the second Trump transition that, in less than two minutes, proved the Trump campaign’s point that now-President-Elect Donald Trump was right to boycott the show’s offer for an October sit-down.

On the first Sunday following Donald Trump’s sweeping November 5 victory, CBS’s 60 Minutes featured a somber post-election analysis carried out by Scott Pelley, the former CBS Evening News anchor who previously treated President Biden to two absurd softball interviews. Pelley’s apparent disappointment at the election result was outshone only by his seeming lack of…

The liberal papers and TV networks are not rushing to cover Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against CBS for its dishonest clip job of their Kamala Harris interview. They most likely consider it a stunt like riding in a garbage truck, as Trump trying to refocus attention on CBS sketchily refusing to release a full transcript.

MRC President Brent Bozell has urged CBS News to clarify whether it coordinated with Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign after editing her 60 Minutes interview. Bozell's letter to CBS requests they release the full unedited interview, aiming to restore public trust shaken by claims of bias. Despite CBS’s dismissive response attributing edits to brevity, Bozell argues that…

A look through MRC’s archives shows CBS has a long history of using dishonest techniques to interfere with the election of conservative candidates. 

CNN’s Brian Stelter touted that CBS lawyers sent a “blunt letter” on Wednesday to Trump’s legal counsel, refusing to bend to public demands for the release of a full transcript of its sneakily edited Kamala Harris interview with Bill Whitaker on 60 Minutes.

On Sunday night, the the 60 Minutes team at CBS News put out a statement of self-defense about their sneaky or sleazy editing of their Kamala Harris interview special. The word salad aired in a Face The Nation promo didn’t match the more coherent answer that aired the next night.

CBS News put out a statement of self-defense on Sunday night about the obvious differences in editing of their Kamala Harris interview. The word salad aired in a Face The Nation promo didn’t match the shorter, more coherent answer that aired the next night on a 60 Minutes special. They still refuse to release a transcript. 

It took two and one-half months for Kamala Harris to agree to an interview with a national journalist. She was interviewed on "60 Minutes" by Bill Whitaker, but her answers are not likely to help her with the few voters who say they are still “undecided.” Asked by Whitaker to explain her economic plan and how it would be paid for, Harris’ response bordered on the meaningless: “My plan is about…

FoxNews.com reported that CBS aired two different answers to the same question on Israel in its 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. First they aired a word-salad answer on Sunday’s Face the Nation. But when the interview aired on Monday night, the answer was entirely different.

After Vice President Kamala Harris fumbled away friendly interviews with the likes of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy, CBS’s 60 Minutes, and ABC’s The View in the past week, Harris went on SiriusXM for perhaps the friendliest and most Notable Quotable-worth interview she’ll ever face with former shock jock, Howard Stern. For someone who made his living on indecency (and having certain guests ride…

The 60 Minutes interview was supposed to be a cornerstone of Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s much-ballyhooed “Media Blitz”, featuring such tough interviews as The View, Howard Stern, Stephen Colbert, and the Call Her Daddy podcast. Instead, it may have turned out to be a millstone.

Democratic presidential nominees have never had a problem finding friendly journalists who will toss easy softballs, inviting the nominee to bash their Republican opponent while showcasing their own warm wonderfulness.
