Jake Tapper articulated concerns regarding the clash between CBS News, Paramount, and Donald Trump over edited interviews, stressing the implications for media integrity. After a controversial 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, Trump condemned CBS for editing her responses and claimed it was a significant fraud. He sought massive damages and a license revocation from CBS, which critics labeled a dangerous attempt at manipulating media narratives. Tapper noted that editing is common in media, referencing Fox News' edits of Trump, emphasizing the rights and responsibilities of media entities.
Continuing to defend that stance, Tapper explained how conservative-leaning network Fox News had made similar edits to a Trump interview in June 2024.
He even demanded that CBS should lose its license and sued the network for $10 billion under news distortion rules.
