MRC founder and president Brent Bozell appeared on Monday night on the Fox Business program Evening Edit to discuss CBS refusing to release a transcript of its deceptively edited Kamala Harris interview in a Monday night 60 Minutes election special. 

First, the CBS Sunday interview show Face The Nation aired a word-salad answer from Kamala on Israel. Then the Monday night special aired a much briefer, more coherent answer. 

Fox host Liz McDonald asked "Who was it edited for? Was it edited for the viewer, or Kamala?  And how about instead of releasing statements, why won’t they release the full transcript and footage?"

Bozell agreed: “So what’s going on behind the scenes at CBS? Who made the decision to edit it one way and then re-edit it another way after a backlash? Was it the staff that did it? Did the Kamala Harris campaign call them and say ‘that’s not what we want. We want you to air another part.’  We don’t know. Release the transcript.”

McDonald suggested we’ve seen Team Biden and Team Harris pressure the media to help them. Bozell replied, "I don't think there is a lick of difference between the national news media and the Kamala Harris for President campaign.” He noted CBS promising not to “fact check” the candidates during the vice-presidential debate, and then trying to undermine J.D. Vance on immigration.

McDonald asked how viewers are supposed to know when the networks are manipulating their interviews. Bozell lamented: "And why can’t CBS simply ask a question and run with the answer. They asked a question, she ran with an answer. At some other point in this interview, either the question was re-asked, or she answered it differently. We don’t know. But a real journalist would simply run with the question, and run with the answer. They changed it!"
