 60 Minutes offended Trump for an edited interview with Kamala Harris to

 The lawsuit has been neither dismissed nor settled.
 
 Bill Owens claims he's under too much corporate pressure to produce 60

 I never bothered to track down the interview but if he did what he's
 accused of, I'm not seeing that he was behaving like an unbiasted
 journalist.

It was yet more (successful) bullshit by Trump.

Are you trying to claim that CBS did not edit her terrible interview
to make her sound better?

Sure, but that's not illegal so how does that give Trump any legal grounds to
sue them?

If they'd edited an interview to make *him* look bad, sure. But editing it to
make someone else look good? How does he have standing to sue over that?
