6. Kamala Harris Interview Was Edited and Airing Close to Election
Trump’s claim that CBS aired an edited interview with Kamala Harris “two days” before the 2024 election is not only factually incorrect but also an attempt to discredit the media and manipulate the timing of the interview. In reality, the interview took place on October 7, 2024, a full four weeks before Election Day. The timing of the interview and its alleged editing have been blown out of proportion by Trump. The claim that CBS aired the interview close to the election in an attempt to sway voters is a misrepresentation of the facts. CBS, in its coverage, did not time the interview to directly coincide with the election, as Trump suggests. The interview’s timing was well within the typical media cycle, and the suggestion that it was strategically aired to influence the election is without merit.
By distorting the facts of the interview’s release, Trump attempts to create a narrative of media bias that aligns with his broader claims of election interference and unfair coverage. However, the timeline of events tells a different story.
