"Of course it’s nominated for best editing because it takes some serious talent to edit Kamala’s answer into something that’s coherent and understandable."
According to Fox News, the nominations for the 46th Emmy Awards for documentaries and news were announced this week, and multiple nominations went to the CBS program, including for the interview with Harris during the 2024 election.
In a statement, White House communications director Steven Cheung said, “Of course it’s nominated for best editing because it takes some serious talent to edit Kamala’s answer into something that’s coherent and understandable, which in the end they still failed to do."
Last year, CBS News and its parent company were sued by Trump for $10 billion, which has since been increased to $20 billion, over allegations of election interference after 60 Minutes showed two different versions of Harris' answers on the topic of Israel. The lawsuit from Trump accused the network of "deceptive doctoring" of the interview and claimed that CBS's edits were made in an "attempt to tip the scales in favor of the Democratic Party as the heated 2024 Presidential Election—which President Trump is leading–approaches its conclusion."
Last week, "60 Minutes" executive producer resigned, saying that he has not been able to maintain editorial independence as the lawsuit has been ongoing. CBS has refused to release the full transcript of the interview, which has been a demand of Trump in the lawsuit.
In a preview that was aired on CBS' "Face the Nation," when Harris was asked about the conflict in Israel, she stated, "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."
However, when the full interview aired on television, Harris appeared to reply much more succinctly, "We are not gonna stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end."
