Hardly worth the energy. CNN media reporters compared the segment that Fox broadcast to its viewers with a longer version shared on social media by someone who’d been in the barbershop that day. In one particularly egregious example, Fox showed Trump immediately responding in the affirmative to a question about eliminating federal taxes. Where Fox’s edit appeared seamless, CNN found Trump actually rambled for more than seven minutes about inheritance taxes, the Keystone Pipeline, Ronald Reagan, Russia and transgender athletes. Only after the questioner repeatedly steered Trump back on track did he actually answer the question. Other moments left out of the broadcast included Trump praising the far-right leader of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, and repeating debunked lies about immigrants living in Springfield, Ohio, and Aurora, Colo. A Fox News spokesperson told HuffPost that every “Fox & Friends” barbershop segment is pre-taped and edited. “The Bronx edition ran for nearly an hour and was cut for time and clarity,” the spokesperson said. The edits are particularly noteworthy given Trump — and Fox — have accused CBS News of editing a “60 Minutes” segment to make Vice President Kamala Harris look more presidential, with Trump even going so far as to call for CBS to lose its broadcasting license. (The FCC licenses individual broadcast stations, not TV networks, so it wouldn’t have the power to comply with Trump’s demand.) A Trump spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump has demanded Fox go even easier on him, reportedly going so far as to plead with former Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch that the network stop airing commercials that paint him in a negative light.

Just before 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, police were called to The Edge at Lowry Apartments in the 1200 block of Dallas Street for a reported armed home invasion in which victims were kidnapped and assaulted, the Aurora Police said. Aurora Police Department Chief Todd Chamberlain said during a Tuesday news conference that 13 to 15 people, mostly males with some females, entered an apartment where two people were inside. Police say the suspects took the migrant victims to another apartment at the same location, where the victims were "threatened and bound." One of the victims, a man, sustained a stab wound but is expected to survive, police said. Both victims are still at the hospital for treatment of their injuries.
So Fox edited the interview to omit rambling nonsense and lies. You do know I'm a busy person? I have many minutes here and there but... Try harder please? " Where Fox’s edit appeared seamless, CNN found Trump actually rambled for more than seven minutes about inheritance taxes, the Keystone Pipeline, Ronald Reagan, Russia and transgender athletes.

Agreed. Kinda like when CNN/MSNBC/ABC/NBC/CBS all edited various Biden's speeches, including removing completely made up words and phrases. It's almost like networks do this to get to the point or something.
This thread was made because the Trump campaign was trying to use the 60 minutes interview's normal edit process as a weapon, when Trump was benefiting from actual sane-washing at a massive scale, on his preferred networks as well as CNN and others. This is why it opened with yawn, hardly worth discussing as it's so obvious and routine for Trump to attack with his own faults.
