The infamous “60 -minute” interview with the then Deputy President, Kamala Harris, who ignited President Donald Trump’s lawsuit for President Donald Trump’s “Electoral Intervention”.
Cronkite, who was the face of “CBS Evening News” from 1962 to 1981, was the anchorman prime minister of the Golden Age of the Network News. In 1976, at the height of Cronkite’s reign as “the most reliable man in America”, CBS News President Richard Sallant recorded a 76 -page document describing CBS News standards.
Page 58 is focused on editing and suggests the “60 minutes” interview at the center of Trump’s lawsuit against CBS News would have been irritated during the Cronkite era.
“The purpose of the editing process is to produce a clear and summary statement which reflects fairly, honestly and without distortion what was seen and heard by our reporters, cameras and microphones,” Saliant wrote in the 1976 document, which came to the attention of the Trump legal team.
Trump’s lawsuit claims CBS News fraudulently edited an exchange that Harris had with the 60 -minute correspondent Bill Whitaker, who asked him why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not “listening” to Biden administration. Harris was criticized for the “Word Salad” response to a preliminary clip of the interview on “Face the Nation”.
However, when the same question was transmitted during a special network primary special, it gave a different, more concise answer. Critics at the time they accused CBS News of editing her response to protecting the democratic candidate from further reactions leading to election day.
The raw transcript and footage given earlier this year by FCC showed that both Harris comment groups came from the same long response, but CBS News had only aired the first half of her response to the “face” clip and aired the second half during special premiums.
CBS News, who has denied any wrongdoing and stands by his broadcast and reporting, did not respond immediately to the Fox News Digital when asked if the standards of the Cronchitis have changed.
“If more than one excerpt from a speech or statement is included in a documentary broadcast, the order of their inclusion in the broadcast shall be the same as the order of their involvement in the speech or statement, unless the transmission indicates specifically,” wrote in the CBS 1976 news standards guide.
When Cronkite died in 2009 at the age of 92, his Associated Press necrology said that the famous anchor “The accuracy of the estimated accuracy, the objectivity and the underrated compassion” always intended to be fair and professional in his judgments “, regardless of personal views on a topic.
Two surveys were pronounced by Cronkite “The most trusted man in America”: a study of the 1972 “Trust Index” in which he graduated no. 1, about 15 points higher than the main politicians, and a 1974 study in which people chose it as the most reliable television news, according to AP.
Sarant, who was running CBS News when “60 minutes” left, was praised by the New York Times when he died in 1993.

“He was praised for raising professional standards and expanding news programming on CBS,” the Times wrote.
CBS News, along with the parent company Paramount, are currently in mediation in the hope of deciding with Trump. The mediator recently proposed the completion of the president’s $ 20 billion lawsuit with a $ 20 million agreement, according to Wall Street Journal.
Last month, Trump dismissed the $ 15 million Paramount’s solution after demanding at least a $ 25 million payment, as well as a pardon. According to Wall Street Journal, Paramount “is not prepared” to give one.
