CBS made edits to fit the interview into the airtime available, splitting Harris's full answer into 2 parts. CBS could have aired only half the answer, but instead aired both halves at different times, giving the viewers more information.
Whitaker: “But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.”
Harris replies: “Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. We are not gonna stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”
Trump’s complaints about ’60 Minutes’ put a spotlight on editing at the nation’s top newsmagazine
"So what did Harris actually say to Whitaker? Well, both things, according to CBS. Her full answer to the question was the two sentences put together — the first sentence used on “Face the Nation” and the second sentence on “60 Minutes.” CBS said the need to make the “60 Minutes” interview segment concise prompted the editing. The full interview with Harris took 45 minutes, and it was fit into a 20-minute slot on the broadcast... Meanwhile, some of Trump’s critics have condemned the media this fall for editing and sanitizing some of his words during rallies and social media posts, a process they’ve called “sanewashing.”"
