Will this hurt the GOP's chances of having her run as a candidate a second time?

While interesting, that they aired the whole answer first and then a cropped version on 60 Minutes, implies to me they were not trying to conceal anything so there’s not much substance to that lawsuit

Hell, when Trump engaged in a bizarre racist rant at a press event, I doubt any news channel aired the whole thing on any of their prime time shows. This doesn’t mean they were all being controlled by Trump, rather it just shows the normal process of editing for time.

Further, assuming that network is found to be at fault, it doesn't say much of anything about her.

They actually released a lot more, like the pre-interview. It's an interesting watch.

Further, assuming that network is found to be at fault,
They won't be found anything...the release is part of the planned future settlement.

I'm more surprised Trump didn't sue all the outlets for selectively editing his remarks to make him appear like he loved white supremacy.

In any case, the age of spin has gotten a wake-up call to the limits of yarn-spinning a cool tale for quick money.

Kamala should sue CBS for editing her comments that helped Trump win.

Of course he loves white supremacy, he's a white supremacist silly.

They weren't forced by a court genius, they responded to an FCC inquiry by releasing it.

So strange that the most vehement defenders of free speech all seem to have no problem with the government telling news organizations how they are required to edit their footage and threatening to remove their licenses if they don't comply.

By edit you mean censor.

No wonder 100 million people would rather tune into an uncensored podcast over storytime with the editors.

Interestingly enough, over-the-air broadcasts are held to more stringent standards of classification than cable broadcasts. As “60 Minutes” is classified as a news program by FCC standards, it then must adhere to the standards of a news program.

“Fox News is not accredited as a news program!”:

Interesting, so the FCC frowns on censorship over the air more than cable...I guess cause cable is privately owned?

I think so. I’m not sure what the actual criteria for tight regulation vs. loose regulation is on this.
