FCC Chairman Brendan Carr on Wednesday released the full transcript of former Vice President Kamala Harris' interview with '60 Minutes' on CBS which the network deceptively edited to make her sound competent while giving an answer on Israel.
Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC CBS provided the FCC with unredacted video & a transcript of VP Harriss 60 Minutes interview in response to the FCCs review of a News Distortion complaint.
CBS did not ask for confidential or non-public treatment of these materials.
Given the value of transparency & the public interest here, the FCC is taking two actions.
1. The FCC is making these materials publicly available.
2. The FCC has concluded that establishing a docket and seeking comment on the issues raised in the complaint would serve the public interest.
The people will have a chance to weigh in.

To recap, a pre-interview teaser had Harris blathering her usual word- salad over whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was listening to the Biden administration, to which she said:
"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."
But in the version that aired on 60 Minutes, Harris' answer was: "We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end."

To recap, a pre-interview teaser had Harris blathering her usual word- salad over whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was listening to the Biden administration, to which she said:

But in the version that aired on 60 Minutes, Harris' answer was: "We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end."
Now that we have the transcript, we can clearly see that '60 Minutes' completely cut the word-salad out, and only included the last half of her answer.
