The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

By disguising Harris’s incoherent meanderings with a neat, made‑for‑prime‑time rewrite, CBS’s once‑venerable “60 Minutes” traded journalistic duty for partisan spin. Paramount’s settlement only spotlights the deception: a network that quietly doctored campaign coverage and then stonewalled transparency, rigging narrative and betraying viewers while calling it “routine editing.”

Anti-Trump narrative

Despite Paramount’s impulse to buy peace, CBS’s “60 Minutes” owes Trump neither a dime nor an apology. The broadcast followed routine, transparent editing, evidenced by the transcript released by the FCC. Trump’s $20 billion tantrum distracts from the fact he dodged the interview. CBS stood firm, practicing tough, equal‑opportunity journalism while the former president spun demonstrable lies.
