CBS has finally unveiled the full, unedited version of Kamala Harris’s interview on “60 Minutes,” and what a majestic trainwreck it is. This interview, conducted during the last gasps of her campaign and before her swift exit to political obscurity, serves as a candid snapshot of just how out of touch she truly is. Harris, known for her verbose and often bewildering responses, laid bare her inability to tackle even basic issues without the safety net of a prepared script. It begs the question: is this the best the Democrats can offer?
A bit of background: the interview was initially subjected to CBS’s editing finesse, which raised eyebrows and led former President Trump to take legal action against the network. He accused CBS of deliberately altering the footage to prop up Harris’s faltering image. As it turns out, even with the editorial scissors in full swing, the original content was a feast of confusion and vagueness. Harris’s performance during the unfiltered exchange exemplified the classic “word salad” that many have come to expect, showcasing a remarkable inability to engage with the most important topics of the day.
After initial viewing, it’s evident that CBS’s reasons for editing were less about preserving journalistic integrity and more about trying to salvage what was clearly a disaster in the making. The interview questions were, predictably, softballs—one of which was as basic as asking Harris why she wants to be President. That’s not exactly hard-hitting journalism, nor does it challenge her views. Commentators have noted that, while CBS insists the edits were needed to accurately represent her answers, it sounds more like damage control than anything else.
But what stands out is Harris’s inability to stay focused, with some responses stretching on for over three minutes, leaving both the host and viewers wondering if she had lost her train of thought somewhere along the way. Instead of inspiring confidence, these lengthy soliloquies only cemented her image as someone who often goes off on tangents about topics that are either irrelevant or lack substance. Certainly not qualities one would associate with a future president.
This is what CBS hid from you with the way they edited the video. It was election interference, plain and simple.

In a twist of irony, the network’s editing efforts, meant to make Harris appear more palatable, backfired spectacularly, leaving viewers wondering how she failed to deliver a coherent message even with the added pressure of media support. It makes one ponder if CBS knows a good candidate when they see one or if they’re just as lost as their Democratic counterparts. In an age of political incompetence, the thought that even an edited presentation could not redeem Harris does raise concerns about the integrity of the whole media establishment.
At the end of the day, this entire spectacle feels like a classic case of media malpractice coupled with political favoritism, symptoms of a broader malaise that plagues much of the mainstream press. The Democrats, recognizing their sinking ship, are scrambling to uphold a candidate who, let’s face it, has the charisma of a damp towel. With the media’s constant attempts to polish her image still failing, it might just be time to say “game over” for Kamala Harris.
