On Friday, Fox News<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

The controversial \u201c60 Minutes\u201d interview at the center of President Trump\u2019s high-stakes lawsuit against CBS News is now an Emmy-nominated program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The nominations for the 46th News & Documentary Emmy Awards were announced Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c60 Minutes\u201d landed several nods, most notably in the Outstanding Edited Interview category for its primetime special featuring then-Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other nominees in that category include CBS\u2019 interviews with Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and the late Pope Francis, as well as NBC\u2019s interview with Celine Dion and ABC\u2019s interview with Brittney Griner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Last fall, Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit<\/a> (it has since been increased to $20 billion) against CBS News and its parent company, Paramount Global, for what he alleged was election interference with how the network handled its Harris interview in the days leading up to the presidential election.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lawsuit stems from an exchange Harris had with \u201c60 Minutes\u201d correspondent Bill Whitaker, who asked her why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn\u2019t \u201clistening\u201d to the Biden administration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harris was widely mocked\u00a0for the \u201cword salad\u201d answer that aired in a preview clip of the interview on \u201cFace the Nation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s sad that the Emmy Awards are now political. They probably have been for a long time, but this is over the top. The interview was edited because Kamala Harris was a very unlikable candidate who was not good at giving logical answers when she was not scripted. President Trump has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth, but I am beginning to believe that when it does that it is very purposeful. Vice-President Harris simply was not good at making clear, concise statements about her ideas of policies that she would propose, so CBS helped her. I believe that is a problem.<\/p>\n

I believe that President Trump’s lawsuit is valid and am somewhat amazed that the Emmy Awards did not consider that in their nomination process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
