CBS's 60 Minutes interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris has been criticized for violating long-standing network guidelines, sparking controversy over President Donald Trump's $20 billion 'election interference' lawsuit. The interview's tone and content have raised questions about CBS's adherence to its journalistic standards.
A recent '60 Minutes' interview featuring then-Vice President Kamala Harris is at the center of a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump, who claims the segment was part of an 'election interference' scheme. The controversy stems from the fact that the interview conflicted with CBS's longstanding guidelines set during Walter Cronkite's era, which prohibited anchors from participating in or endorsing news stories. This raises questions about journalistic ethics and the role of news personalities in shaping public discourse. The lawsuit has sparked debate over the boundaries between journalism and advocacy.
