'Unedited rCy60 MinutesrCO Kamala Interview Proves Again The Democrat 2024 Campaign Was A Media-Driven Psyop'

'Now that the full rCO60 MinutesrCO interview with Kamala Harris is out, itrCOs more clear that the media were all in assisting her failed
campaign.'

'trCOs been three months since the election, and there are still so many unanswered questions as to what exactly happened in the very obvious partnership that took place between the dying national news media and
the Kamala Harris campaign. But a little more clarity was offered this
week when Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications
Commission, released the full nearly hour-long interview CBS rCL60
MinutesrCY aired with Harris several weeks before Election Day.

The disclosure of the raw footage came as CBS cooperated with a
complaint to the FCC from the Center for American Rights, a
right-leaning law firm that accused the network of news distortion. The allegation followed a discrepancy observers noted between the short
tease that CBS released in advance of the full rCL60 MinutesrCY episode and the final cut that aired and showed Harris offering a different answer
to the same question.

What we know now is that CBSrCOs original explanation for the issue, that
it merely used a separate portion of a longer answer in the production
that went to air, is true. But that doesnrCOt clear the network of its questionable decision to clean up not only that newsworthy portion of
the interview, in which HarrisrCOs fuller answer is hysterically confused, but in other parts, too.

Another highly suspect omission from the final cut was an extended
portion in which Harris wasnrCOt asked some convoluted question on geopolitical matters or macro economics, but on why she wants to be president. rCLThere are many reasons but probably, um, first and foremost,
I truly believe in the promise of America,rCY she droned in an alarmingly slow cadence. rCLI do. And I love the American people. You know, we are a people who have ambition and aspirations and dreams and optimism and
hope.rCY

Without even being able to see interviewer Bill Whitaker, you can feel
his eyes mentally rolling to the back of his skull. The portion was
surely nixed for its banality, but itrCOs a fundamental question the
average voter would want an answer to, regardless of whether Harris has
a deeply superficial, deeply boring answer.

In another portion, Whitaker asks another obvious one rCo what was
HarrisrCOs explanation for changing her position to the opposite of her previous stances on virtually every major issue.

HererCOs what rCL60 MinutesrCY included from that answer:

rCLIn the last four years I have been vice president of the United States
and I have been traveling our country and I have been listening to folks
and seeking what is possible in terms of common ground. I believe in
building consensus. We are a diverse people rCo geographically,
regionally, in terms of where we are in our backgrounds and what the
American people do want is that we have leaders who can build consensus. Where we can figure out compromise and understand itrCOs not a bad thing
as long as you donrCOt compromise your values to find common sense
solutions. And that has been my approach.rCY

But what rCL60 MinutesrCY ultimately aired was actually a spliced and diced mashup of two separate answers that Kamala offered, first to the direct question as to why her positions have changed and then to a follow up question about whether it was a matter of rCLevolution or, as your critics say, opportunism.rCY

The program did not air the more critical follow-up question and omitted
most of what Harris said in response to the initial one, including a
flippant remark wherein she said, rCLFirst of all, a lot of the positions that yourCOre talking about have been discussed and dispensed with in
2020, four years ago.rCY

Instead of including that bit, which suggests an admission by Harris
that she had simply abandoned past policy positions without needing a
reason (no biggie!), rCL60 MinutesrCY solely used the more positive portion about rCLbuilding consensus.rCY

At the time of the initial controversy over the one editing discrepancy
last year, CBS refused to release both the full transcript and footage
of the interview, something it routinely did voluntarily with interviews otherwise. Of course not. The election wasnrCOt over yet, and the media
was still engaged in a psychological operation against the voters in an attempt to convince them she was something she never was'

The media certainly was behind this and they will continue to deny it
until the end of time.

Rob Bonta from California has already attached his lips to Kamala's anus
if she runs for governor.
