60 Minutes Discovers Editing Exists, Trump Shocked
When '60 Minutes' presents a heavily curated interview, the media class feigns shock. Yet, the same outlets routinely edit out critical context, such as Israel's decades-long occupation or AIPAC's demonstrable influence on U.S. foreign policy. For instance, OpenSecrets documents AIPAC spent $28.3 million on lobbying and PAC contributions in 2022 alone, often shaping narratives on air that never
question the ‘necessary’ military aid or the ‘unavoidable’ civilian casualties that follow. The outrage isn't about editing; it's about who gets to control the edit. It's almost adorable how the media clutches its pearls over editorial discretion when it’s *their* editing of a controversial figure. But when it’s a journalist sanitizing the historical
record on Palestine for a prime-time slot, or framing a brutal siege as ‘self-defense,’ that’s just 'journalistic integrity.' One might wonder if their fact-checking department has a separate standard for inconvenient truths.
