Her resignation follows an ongoing legal battle with President Donald Trump, who is suing the network and its program, “60 Minutes,” for allegedly editing an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris to benefit her ahead of the 2024 election.

FCC chair calls CBS News’ conduct ‘hard to explain’ following release of Kamala Harris interview transcript

By Joseph A. Wulfsohn , Brian Flood | Fox News Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr knocked CBS News' conduct following the release of the network's unedited transcript of its "60 Minutes" interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. The FCC released the raw transcript and footage it obtained from CBS News of its October 2024 sit-down with Harris that has been at the center of controversy.  "CBS's conduct is hard to explain," Carr told Fox News Digital. "On the one hand, CBS immediately released the unredacted transcript of a recent interview with Vice President Vance. Yet for months they refused to release the one with Vice President Harris."

CBS News breaks its silence over editing allegations in ’60 Minutes’ interview with Harris

By Yael Halon  | Fox News CBS News pushed back against former President Trump's claim that "60 Minutes" deceitfully edited its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, dismissing the allegation as "false" in a statement released Sunday. After weeks of staying mum despite mounting backlash over the interview, CBS published a statement Sunday evening addressing the outrage that ensued after airing two different answers to the same question in the "60 Minutes" interview earlier this month with the Democratic nominee. "Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false," the statement began.

The Free Press: ‘60 Minutes,’ release the unedited Kamala Harris transcript

By The Free Press, Commentary Those of us who have worked in legacy media organizations have a pretty good idea why the so-called “mainstream press” has lost so much of its credibility. They ignore politically inconvenient stories. They rewrite history to suit the needs of the present. They punish wrongthinkers. And they promote ideology at the expense of reality. But for those who still had any remaining doubt, the news out of CBS this week has gone a long way toward answering that question.

Gray: Kamala melts down after brief run-in with journalism on 60 Minutes

By Freddy Gray, commentary | The Spectator Somebody give Bill Whitaker a prize. In his 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, which aired last night, the CBS correspondent did what no other journalist has successfully done since the vice president was thrust to the top of the Democratic ticket: journalism. He asked Harris challenging questions about the matters voters care about most. He was civil, unaggressive, but professional enough to push her for clear answers. And Harris just couldn’t cope. Her performance was Prince Andrew-like in its awfulness.  On immigration, for instance, Whitaker asked Harris why the Biden-Harris administration had only recently started tackling the issue, after almost four years and an unprecedented surge in illegal border crossings...
