FCC releases unedited Kamala Harris '60 Minutes' transcript | LiveNOW from FOX

The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) released the unedited transcript and video handed over by CBS News of its controversial "60 Minutes" interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

The raw transcript showed CBS News had aired only the first half of her response to "60 Minutes" correspondent Bill Whitaker's question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not "listening" to the Biden administration in a preview clip that aired on "Face the Nation," but aired only the second half of her response during the primetime special.

CBS News separately released the raw transcript and unedited footage from the interview on its website.

"We are posting the same transcripts and videos of our interview with Vice President Kamala Harris that we provided to the FCC. They show — consistent with 60 Minutes' repeated assurances to the public — that the 60 Minutes broadcast was not doctored or deceitful," CBS News wrote. "In reporting the news, journalists regularly edit interviews — for time, space or clarity. In making these edits, 60 Minutes is always guided by the truth and what we believe will be most informative to the viewing public — all while working within the constraints of broadcast television."

The network went on to say it aired a "longer portion" of Harris' answer on "Face the Nation" while airing a "shorter excerpt" during the primetime special without acknowledging that none of what aired in the preview clip was featured on "60 Minutes."

"As the full transcript shows, we edited the interview to ensure that as much of the vice president's answers to 60 Minutes' many questions were included in our original broadcast while fairly representing those answers. 60 Minutes' hard-hitting questions of the vice president speak for themselves," CBS News added.
