To clarify, the "edited" version wasn't broadcast in a replay of the interview, it was used in a promo for the interview.

If true, it still seems sketchy and pro-Harris/anti-Trump.

Sketchy because they edited an interview? GTFO. Especially considering the absolute deluge of lies and spewed nonsense by Trump that gets cleaned up in the media. If they were hiding it why even put it in the promo?

Sketchy because they use no part of her actual word salad response. They could have used any question from any part of the interview in their promo. They picked a good question to intrigue viewers, but cherry picked a line from a completely different part of the interview.

Apparently I had it backwards. If all they did was edit for a promo but then included the entire response in the actual airing of the interview then you are even more full of shit.

I believe that the word salad version was in the promo and the more concise version was in the aired interview.

It looks like they put a longer version in the promo that made her look bad - with the goal of enticing Pubs to watch? - and then edited and showed a much more concise version in the televised interview.

It's a really, really stupid thing for CBS to do.

But if CBS were really trying to be in the tank for Kamala, they'd have used the edited version in both places. Instead, they've created a controversy where otherwise there was merely an inartful answer.

Holy crap. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Why sugar-coat what they did as showing a "much more concise version"?

As a reminder, there is only one network who had to pay a judgement of over 800 million for basically lying to their viewers and defaming a company. Any guesses? Hint: It is not CBS.

I don't watch Fox News, but people who are informed know that Fox News TV channel, at least what I've seen after work during prime time, is nothing close to a 'news' station and should not be expected to provide unbiased, factual information. We expect CBS to be objective and accurate and not behave like Fox News.

OK, perspective. The "word salad" was a better answer to the question than Trump has provided in months to any question. It consisted of complete sentences and coherent ideas. It was a bit wordy. You could tell how hard Harris was trying to massage the answer so as to not give any ammo to either side. That's our world. Don't hate the player.

In a world where the so-called liberal media sanewash Trump on a daily basis, this is a total non-story.

Edit to add: her response was also more coherent and accurate than most of what you write on this message board, and you have the advantage of not being put on the spot in an interview to be broadcast worldwide.

Precisely what kind of word salad are we talking about? Electric boat Hannibal Lector windmill shark? Or just taking the long way around to get to the point?

I kinda like today’s “grocery, it’s kinda a simple word, it means everything you eat the stomach speaks”

Here's the transcript...but it comes off much worse if you see the video: "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."

I feel like it's a stretch. For the people entertained by other people watching playing World of Warcraft really want to see some politician jumping on their stream to talk politics? Would people watching a football game?

And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it is kind of a free-flowing discussion that touches on politics that just happens to have a gaming stream in the background. I really have no idea.

But it seems like he could use the time more effectively by engaging old people that actually vote but if I'm wrong, he's an innovator.

That's an awful lot of typing for what is essentially bosiding.

Among the other words you do not understand, we can add bosiding. Bosiders are conservatives who try to pretend that the candidates are the same because one candidate (Kamala, in this case) says something less than ideal, when their own people are out there moronizing for hours at a time every fucking day.

Again, it was a wordy response. It was also truthful -- thus making it superior to virtually everything Trump says -- and coherent (again, superior to Trump). So there's no comparison. And to point out that Kamala's worst moment was as good or better than Trump's best is not bosiding.

As for the quality of your posts, that's in your control. When you write stupid shit, people will have a dim view of you. It's been that way for thousands of years. The solution isn't the middle finger. It's to stop writing stupid shit.

Disagree here. She somewhat fell out of the news cycle and is trying to re-energize the cycle. She’s not Barack Obama for sure. But she has done reasonably well and, frankly, one thing Trump has done well is be “available” and “in the media”.

It's easy to stand at a rally and spew divisive hate for the simpletons to lap up. He has not made himself available to anyone who could or would even remotely hold his feet to the fire over anything that's come to light since the debate or any of the outright lies he spreads daily.

Of course. Part of the double standard.

You may want to attribute bosiding to one party, but that's not how it works. Bosiding isn't relegated to one party. Your response was bosiding. A decent portion of her response was unintelligible, something that is not entirely uncommon for her. The fact that Trump talks like a drunk third grader doesn't change that.
