Wait, Did CNN Edit Segments of Their Interview With Kamala Harris?

Let’s take it slow here. It’s an allegation that caught the eye of RealClearPolitics’ Tom Bevan, who rightly said that if this is true, CNN has a significant scandal on its hands. It wouldn’t be the first time a network has done this—this type of stuff goes back to when NBC was busted for chopping up the 911 call from George Zimmerman to smear him as a racist. Yet, Zimmerman wasn’t a presidential candidate. If true, the anti-Trump network took extreme measures to ensure Ms. Harris’ unelectable policy positions were snuffed out of their sit-down with her. 

It was only 18 minutes, but it was a trainwreck. It was word salad, drowned in a dressing of unrepentance. Ms. Harris knew something was wrong with Mr. Biden. With the president no longer running for reelection, reports and stories from various American and European officials came out of the woodwork regarding how everyone saw how frail and weak Biden was becoming, likening it to how some members were treating their elderly parents. Harris showed zero regrets for being involved in the White House cover-up that shielded some from the president’s declining health. I say some because half the country already knew this guy was cooked. 

Here's the problem: it’s based on one tweet from someone who claims to know CNN’s managing editor. The post alleges that the interview was 41 minutes long and included topics like fracking and the Green New Deal. The Harris camp allegedly objected to half of the interview, which was pre-taped.

It could be a clever way to pressure the network to release the full transcript, which would address these rumors. Yet, rumors aside, the full transcript should be released. It likely won’t since we saw off the bat that host Dana Bash had to virtually answer some of the questions to ensure Harris didn’t veer off the cliff. Everything we’ve suspected about the Democratic media complex is rolled into this interview. 

The voters deserve to know if Harris ventured into these topics. If she did, and fracking was mentioned, wouldn’t that be worthy of voters in states like Pennsylvania? Yes. And if she said she would ban it, as she’s declared explicitly before, that dramatically hurts the vice president in a state that will likely decide this upcoming election, right? 

Voter interference is coming from CNN, if this is true. You already know the rest of this tale and the corruption that’s embedded in it. And these folks wonder why they’re mocked and hated.
