CBS Changes Policy for ‘Face the Nation’ Interviews After Kristi Noem Interview (Connecting the Dots: Face the Nation, CBS, 60 Minutes, Kamala Harris, Hunter Biden & Soros Funding, All Networking)
The
change comes months after CBS parent Paramount paid $16 million to settle
Trump’s lawsuit over edits to a ‘60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.

CBS
News has announced it will no longer edit guest interviews on its flagship
Sunday program “Face the Nation,”
moving to a live or live-to-tape format following days of criticism over its
handling of a sit-down with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
The
change comes after Noem accused
the network of “shamefully” cutting portions of her Aug. 31 interview in order
to “whitewash the truth.”
The
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the broadcaster removed over 23
percent of her answers, “exposing the truth about criminal illegal alien Kilmar
Abrego Garcia, President Donald Trump’s lawful actions to protect the American
people, and Secretary Noem’s commitment to fight on behalf of the American
people and their tax dollars.”
CBS initially defended its actions, saying that the unedited version was posted
online, but the backlash continued to grow on social media and beyond. Noem and
others circulated clips of the missing passages online and accused the network
of trying to manipulate public opinion by withholding harsh truths—like when
Noem said that Abrego Garcia was a “known human smuggler, MS-13 gang member, an
individual who was a wife beater.”
Then,
on Sept. 5, CBS
said that it will now only broadcast live or live-to-tape interviews, meaning
guests’ answers will not be edited in any way—except in situations where legal
or national security reasons require it. The broadcaster said it was changing
its editorial policy “in response to audience feedback.”
“This
extra measure means the television audience will see the full, unedited
interview on CBS and we will continue our practice of posting full transcripts
and the unedited video online,” a CBS spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an
emailed statement.
The
Noem interview is the second time in less than a year that CBS has figured into
disputes over alleged selective editing. Last fall, then-presidential candidate
Trump sued
CBS, alleging that a “60 Minutes”
interview with Democratic challenger and then-Vice President Kamala
Harris
had been manipulated
to improve her image and boost her chances in the 2024 election.
CBS
defended the editing of the Harris interview, saying
that transcripts and videos of the full interview showed that the broadcast
“was not doctored or deceitful.” The uncut transcript showed
that some of Harris’s answers were cut roughly in half while also clarifying
her full response to a question about the Israel–Hamas war, which Trump’s
campaign alleged was deceptively edited to make her look better to potential
voters.
Later,
Trump amended
his complaint to include CBS parent company Paramount Global as a defendant,
while doubling the amount of damages sought to $20 billion.
Paramount
ultimately settled
that case in July for $16 million, while denying any wrongdoing.
