CBS Changes Policy for ‘Face the Nation’ Interviews After Kristi Noem Interview

The change comes months after CBS parent Paramount paid $16 million to settle Trump’s lawsuit over edits to a ‘60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.

CBS News has announced that it will no longer edit guest interviews on its flagship Sunday program, “Face the Nation,” and that it is moving to a live or live-to-tape format following days of criticism over its handling of a sit-down with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

The change comes after Noem accused the network of “shamefully” cutting portions of her Aug. 31 interview in order to “whitewash the truth.”
