CBS News has kowtowed to the Trump administration yet again.
The network’s Sunday morning show, Face the Nation, will no longer edit interviews of government officials after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem—nicknamed “ICE Barbie” for consplaying as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent for the cameras, among other bizarre publicity stunts—complained she was the victim of “shameful” editing in a segment that aired last weekend.
A CBS spokesperson tells the Daily Beast that the long-running show will now air interviews with Trump administration officials in full—either live or prerecorded, with no cuts or edits.
“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
