I guess they made her look better by showing that she can give an articulate response rather tbsn stomping off like Trump did in 2020?
Reading the comments on this thread make it very clear that people do not understand the difference between an accredited news organization and entertainment news. And that is the problem with media in this country. We need to have a very clear distinction because allowing people to choose their own reality is simply not working. Maybe every single non-accredited program needs to have a disclaimer at the beginning. Idk.
The "tease" gave a very different response than the one that was broadcast. And, stopping her rambling was certainly helpful to her. I don't think the suit has legs, though. Except, for pointing out what CBS did.
Much worse was what Lesley Stahl did in the 2020 election when she basically called Trump a liar for bringing up Hunter's laptop.

Where are the lawsuits against Trump, Fox, and many others? Given the Dominion Ruling and evidence it should not be hard to prove this same claim on them.

This.....journalists will be afraid to do their job with honestly and integrity. They will have to pledge allegiance to the king and lie to make him look somewhat good.
They’re losing these lawsuits because they didn’t do the job with honesty and integrity. That’s the issue.
+1 Their bias clouded their judgment and compromised their integrity.

Since Trump can lie and defame and not be sued/countersued, I think judges should block his ability to sue and rule any judgements in his favor to be null and void.
It cannot be one-sided with only Trump having the ability to attack and sue others.

Soon we'll only have State TV.
We'll only know what dear leader wants us to know and forget any warnings about food contamination or illness outbreaks.

They edited her answers on tape. Played one for the tease to watch the show and a different answer in the aired interview. Still not sure which answer was the real one.
As for Trump, in 2020, Lesley Stahl argued with him about Hunter's laptop and claimed it was Russian disinformation.
So, not exactly fair.
So what? FOX heavily edited interviews with Trump. https://newrepublic.com/post/182164/fox-news-edited-trump-interview https://www.rawstory.com/heavily-edited-trump-fox-interview et cetera.
Hunter's laptop did turn out to be disinformation.
We were told Hunter's laptop contained smoking gun evidence of a vast bribery and corruption scheme funneling tens of millions of dollars to Joe Biden.
The only thing it actually revealed was that Hunter had a drug problem and failed to disclose it on a gun form. And we also found out that Alexander Smirnov, the Republicans star witness about the alleged massive bribery and corruption scheme LIED about it. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgnl7qdvjno That's what disinformation is, it's lying.
Fair would mean that now FOX News should be sued over how it handled Trump interviews, favorably editing them to make Trump look a lot better and more coherent than he actually is, and they could use the suit against CBS as ammunition against Trump and cite the hypocrisy of going after CBS.
Seriously, I do think a team of Democrats with legal resources and access to some donor funds need to band together on this and start out with some big-fish lawsuits that they can get big financial settlements out of, and use that to bootstrap a legal war chest to use for staffing a substantial orchestrated legal campaign of lawsuits against conservative media outlets that spread lies to boost Trump to repeatedly go after them for multimillion dollar settlements and awards, and leave them the choice of either starting to report fairly and honestly and critically about Trump or getting hit every time they lie for him - and also settlement funds and resources to band together with all of the other groups leading lawsuits against Trump, such as the blue states suing for overreach, the civil servant unions and so on.
They need to go after FOX and conservative outlets because they did the same and worse compared to CBS.

And, recall, again, in Trump's 2020 interview, Stahl basically called Trump a liar when he brought up the HUnter laptop.
Turned out Trump WAS lying about the content of the laptop.
Then, pray tell, who was the "big guy?"

Wow , they would do all of this but when it came to controlling illegal immigration, that was a firm no.
Democrats need to focus on policies that US voters want and start winning elections.
Bedause the voters wanted all the project 2025 crap being shoved down our throat now? Do you have amnesia about how far the Trumo campaign ran from project 2025?
By ran from you mean lied their asses off pretending they had nothing to do with Project 2025 and now we see a bunch of Project 2025 staff in the White House and Cabinet, and 2/3rds of Trump's agenda is coming verbatim from Project 2025.

Such a good thing that this injustice is being corrected. All of us as Americans should be upset when our collective broadcast airwaves are misappropriated for election interference purposes. Our news media—especially broadcasters—should not be in the business of running cover or making others look worse. Perhaps it is technically a permissible activity not eh part of 60 Minutes, but it is good to see CBS management take ownership for the bad acts of their employees.
So much bad will and erosion of trust happens when rogue journalists bring their agenda to news production instead of being neutral purveyors of the news.
Does anybody actually morally defend 60 Minutes misleading the American public? I really thought they would have learned their lesson after Dan Rather’s hubris embarrassed them.

Not surprised. Redstone is trying to sell Paramount, and she does not want any hiccups from the FTC; therefore, this is peanuts in comparison to what she could lose. If Trump had lost there would be no settlement.
