“I’ve never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced (‘cut and pasted’) Lyin’ Kamala’s answers to questions … all in an effort, possibly illegal as part of the ‘News Division,’ which must be licensed, to make her look ‘more Presidential,’ or a least, better,” Trump posted Oct. 9 on Truth Social.
oh really, you’ve never seen anything like that, huh?
I’ve done political interviews, and sat on elections and other committees for candidates and elected officials.
It is actually entirely normal to basically mulligan an answer when a candidate has a “false start”, or asks to retake, unless you’re live.
It’s absoltuly legal, and in my experience normal.
That’s kind of interesting. You mean candidate might start to reply and fumble their words and then ask for a restart?
it’s common courtesy in journalism in general. “gotcha” moments don’t help anyone and will just kill your chances at landing future interviews, or getting any sources on record.
it’s also something we should do in daily life more often, especially on the web. “steel man” people you are conversing with. If you think someone is saying something completely stupid, maybe you have just misunderstood them, or they misspoke.
Did he even watch it? They grilled her, to the point that they kept trying to force her into giving them bad soundbytes they could run.
The number of times they tried to push her into saying the quiet part out loud that most people still considering voting for trump are actually just a minimum of kinda racist, I was honestly surprised they were trying that blatantly to get their “basket of deplorables” headline.
Seems pretty simple to me if Donald Trump says it, it’s probably a lie.
Trump suddenly concerned about lawfull behavior?
