Bad news for CBS.
Their “60 Minutes” program is under fire for cleaning up one of Kamala Harris’s word salad answer.
One of their programs released the confusing version, CBS later aired a polished version.
Now former staffers are demanding an investigation.
Looks like the network refusing to release the full transcript.
Didn’t they demand President Donald Trump release his full transcript when he had an interview?
It seems CBS has a long history of this sort of thing.
And this time it’s not getting swept under the rug.

New York Post reports:
Former CBS News staffers are demanding an independent investigation into “60 Minutes” over the brewing Kamala Harris interview scandal — even as the network stubbornly digs in its heels and refuses to release the full, unedited transcript, The Post has learned.
The long-running news show has come under fire after allegedly cleaning up the Democratic presidential candidate’s answer to a question from “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker about Israel that aired during a special episode on Monday.
Her reply was starkly different from the “word salad” the vice president served up in a clip to promote the interview shown by “Face the Nation” the day before.
The controversy has prompted media insiders and critics — including Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump — to question the ethical standards at the Tiffany Network. “I think there should be an outside investigation,” one former CBS News journalist told The Post on Thursday. “Obviously, there’s a problem here. If they care about journalistic integrity, they would conduct an investigation or release the full transcript.”
A second CBS source said the discrepancy in the answers makes it seem that the network’s flagship show is “biased.”
“Their credibility has been called into question and their impartiality has been called into question,” the source said. “Don’t you need a full-throated review of what went wrong?”
On Thursday, CBS again declined multiple requests from The Post to release the full transcript.
The network did not comment on whether it planned on launching a probe into the matter.
However, CBS has a history of both releasing full transcripts of its news programs and launching probes.
In 2013, the network investigated a “60 Minutes” segment by correspondent Lara Logan about a terror attack on the US compound in Benghazi that left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead.
The probe, led by then-executive director of standards and practices Al Ortiz, discredited the reporting, finding it “deficient in several respects.” Logan and her producer were asked to take a leave of absence.
Two sources suggested CBS tap Ortiz, who retired in 2012 after 43 years at the network, to conduct an outside review of the Harris interview.
