When 60 Minutes edited Kamala Harris’s interview to make her look good, Trump sued them for $16 million. I’m sure he’ll apply the same standard here.

I thought they didn't even do it to make her look good, but it was to fit around commercial breaks or something and they still aired what she said?
Correct, it was a totally meritless lawsuit that Paramount (already with Skydance in the driver's seat, pre-merger close) settled with a nice big fat bribe.
Paramount/Skydance were very quick to understand that settling a meritless suit was an excellent conduit for bribery.
I'm just so disappointed in the world
The bad people are in charge, the time of the good people is coming. There are more of us.
What a hypocrite!
He initially sued them for $10 billion, but raised it to $20 billion later for damages. Paramount settled for $16 million.
‘The most uneducated buffoon in history stands at a podium, bloated with self-importance, lips pursed like a carnival barker ready to sell turd milk to the unsuspecting. He grins a grotesque smirk stretched across his face as he scrawls his name onto a hollow decree, a sham celebration of the dismantling of knowledge itself. The Department of Education falls, not with a bang, but with wheezing verbs, suffocated under the weight of his own staggering ignorance. Surrounding him are the usual suspects: cowards in expensive suits, servile sycophants clapping like trained seals, and racist opportunistic ghouls picking clean the bones of democracy. Liars, fools, and thieves all parasites fattening themselves on the hardships of the many. They stand in rigid formation, dead-eyed and soulless, their allegiance sworn not to country, not to principle, but to power, and the dark, festering rot that clings to it. And there he is the convicted wrong, the living embodiment of septic tank spew, his voice a noxious fog of grift and grievance. He lectures the world on right and wrong, irony clawing at the walls, desperate to escape the grotesque theatre of his moral void. The stomach turns, the air curdles, and for a moment, history itself recoils watching, in horror, as the great American experiment teeters on the precipice, led by a man who couldn't spell "precipice" if his life depended on it.’
If conservatives could read, they would be furious with this masterpiece.
This is a good for the Brits and the BBC case I guess? CBS edits his responses but he doesn't sue them for 10 Billion?
Jon Stewart covered it last night, that interviewer was great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrAuG5d2pvI
the part where he was asked about personally making $3B since re-elected and Trump responds, "didn't we all?".
That interviewer is a conservative nutjob. Read anything he's written for the New York Times. We're just so used to seeing Fox and CNN-level interviewing that it felt like a revelation.
I don't think you can call anyone actually holding Trump's feet to the fire a "conservative nutjob". Those are the Sticker Mule guys writing rap songs about sucking his dick.
No, he really is a conservative nut job. He just doesn’t like trump because he’s incompetent, not because they aren’t ideologically aligned.

lmao I go to watch it, and all the "suggested videos" are all about the interview, and the election, except for John Oliver. Good ol' autistic Oliver talkin' bout Trains. god lov'em
An old video, too. YouTube's third suggested video is usually the weakest suggestion. I just watched something about the housing market and my third suggestion is a product announcement video about some AI agent auditing software or something.
How did you get Snipping Tool to appear in the screenshot? Is this a new "improvement" since I last used Windows? I don't remember ever seeing that before.

Imagine still watching this guys “interviews” 🤣
Because covering up for a fascist president is what a legitimate news agency does, I guess?
The other side of that coin is that conservatives will just believe whatever other nonsense he said.
They just don't want to get sued. It's a stupid reason, but it's their reason.

the staff at 60 Minutes decided to trim several sections of Trump’s response that included false claims or total fabrications.
So a 30-second interview that was just questions and no responses?
I wouldn't put it passed cbs to use AI footage of him sounding sane.
Someone needs to leak it.
The end of the article says the network posted the unedited version on YouTube
No. No they don't. The problem is his followers will see stupidity and dementia as prophecy, his lies as fact that the establishment has been hiding. No bueno.
What someone should do is take his statements, then next week repeat them to him as something that came from Biden, and watch as he explodes and calls Biden corrupt, a terrorist, etc.
In the parts of the interview they showed on last night's Daily Show, the interviewer actually brought up some of Trump's family's business dealings and said, if Biden's family did it you'd call it corrupt, how is this different? Apparently all Trump had was "I didn't know about it."
No, nothing surprised me from what trump said
I’ll never know what he said. Fuck Barry Weiss and any other nazi white washers.
I was just happy to see an interviewer push Trump on harder questions. It's interesting that he didn't storm out like a toddler waiting to change his diaper.
I think it's because the interviewer was a man. If it was a woman he would have insulted her or stormed off.

“There’s still a war going on. What’s the biggest obstacle to peace?” asked Douthat.
“It was the hatred between [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskiy and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin,” Trump said in the version of the program that aired Sunday.
But much more was left on the cutting room floor, according to an unedited version published Decoding Fox News founder Juliet Jeske.
“I believe that we’re very close to making a deal,” Trump said. “And I think it—two things, if I were president, because as you know, well you’re not going to admit it, it was rigged. That’s why I did it a third time. If I was president that war would have never started.”
During another portion of the interview, 60 Minutes cut Trump’s answer when he attempted to puff himself up as tough on Russia and soft on Ukraine: “Look what I did to them as an example. I gave them the anti-tank busters, right?”
“I’ve given them, in fact there’s an old statement, that [Barack] Obama gave them sheets, and I gave them anti-tank busters, okay? That’s what I gave them,” Trump said.
“But now it’s Europe supplying weapons, not us?” asked Douthat.
“No, it’s us. We’re supplying the weapons, Europe is paying for them,” Trump answered. “Here’s the difference: [Joe] Biden gave them $350 billion worth of cash and weapons. I gave them nothing.”

This entire article is about this Tweet: https://nitter.kareem.one/DecodingFoxNews/status/2119922461588303988
And this video.
SYAC
SYAC? I tried looking up that acronym and found nothing that would make sense here.

Damn, that's so obvious now that I feel stupid, haha. But still, thank you!
Those Haitian dog eaters! When is it going to STOOOOOPPPP!!!!
If they cut pieces out, republicans will claim things were shown out of context or that they were trying to portray a particular picture. Can’t win either way.
