The Spin

By disguising Harris’s incoherent meanderings with a neat, made‑for‑prime‑time rewrite, CBS’s once‑venerable “60 Minutes” traded journalistic duty for partisan spin. Paramount’s settlement only spotlights the deception: a network that quietly doctored campaign coverage and then stonewalled transparency, rigging narrative and betraying viewers while calling it “routine editing.”
