Cartoon by Steve Kelley
Answers
The man in the cartoon is veteran correspondent Bill Whitaker of 60 Minutes.
CBS News’ 60 Minutes broadcast a pre-taped interview with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris last week. In the promo prior to the interview, Harris’s answer to a question on Israel was different from the answer that was shown during the heavily edited interview broadcast on Oct. 7, leading to calls for CBS to release the transcript of the entire, unedited interview so viewers could see the full questions and answers.
People believe that CBS or 60 Minutes changed Harris’ answer to help her – to make her look better. (see the video clip here)
