Here’s a revised version of the title with some words changed but maintaining the same context: “Fake News”: DJT Blasts Woke CBS, Kamala in Posts, Demands CBS Lose Its License

In a heated pair of posts on his Truth Social platform, former President Donald Trump criticized CBS for how they handled the “60 Minutes” interview between Bill Whitaker and Vice President Kamala Harris, an interview that didn’t go well for Harris. The main issue was an incident where CBS edited her vague, rambling response and replaced it with a more polished and coherent answer.

In the original incident, Whitaker asked, as shown in the episode’s teaser, “But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.” Harris responded, “Well Bill, the work that we have done has led to a number of actions 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…”

She continued speaking without clarity, saying, “We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to make clear where we stand on the need for this war to end.” However, this response was edited, and a more coherent and concise answer replaced it when the episode aired, drawing online backlash. In the edited version, when Whitaker asked, “Does the U.S. have no sway over Prime Minister Netanyahu?” Harris replied, “The work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel is an ongoing effort to make clear our principles.”

Former President Trump, as expected, was enraged and posted about CBS, stating, “A massive Fake News Scam by CBS & 60 Minutes. Her REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED it with another answer to protect her or at least make her look better.”

Trump went on to say the network should lose its license, calling it “a FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal. TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE. Election Interference. She is a Moron, and the Fake News Media wants to cover that up. An UNPRECEDENTED SCANDAL!!! The Dems got them to do this and should be forced to concede the Election? WOW!”

Accompanying the post, Trump shared a clip showing the original and edited responses side by side, allowing viewers to see the difference.

In another Truth Social post, Trump called the edited clip not just “fraud” but the “biggest scandal in broadcast history,” an exaggeration considering past controversies like the 1950s quiz show scandals. He concluded, “The fraud committed by 60 Minutes and CBS, together with the Democrat Party, is the single Biggest Scandal in Broadcast History!”
