House Speaker Mike Johnson accused CBS News of selectively editing interviews to favor Democrats and hinder Republicans.

The Republican Speaker posted a thread on the social media platform X detailing instances where interviews had been cut, or edited, by the broadcaster.

“CBS has been under fire for selectively editing their interviews to promote Democrats and undermine Republicans,” Speaker Johnson wrote on X. “Yesterday, they chose to cut FIVE important minutes out of my nearly 15-minute interview.”

Johnson shared a clip of a Fox & Friends First, where one of his text messages were read out in which he declared he would never conduct a pre-recorded interview with CBS again.

CBS has been under fire for selectively editing their interviews to PROMOTE Democrats and UNDERMINE Republicans.

Yesterday, they chose to cut FIVE important minutes out of my nearly 15 minute interview.

You can be the judge as to why.

The House Speaker then shared examples of malicious editing. In the first, Johnson’s remarks about people impacted by Hurricane Helene first-hand were cut out of the interview.

I recently traveled to NC and victims of Hurricane Helene told me nearly two weeks after landfall, the Biden-Harris Administration had STILL not provided them with all the resources they desperately needed.

But CBS selectively edited OUT ENTIRELY this first-hand perspective. pic.twitter.com/ZjO5LWdtsM

CBS also edited a clip regarding non-citizen voting. Specifically, the broadcaster removed Johnson’s comments praising the actions of Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who has led efforts to ensure a fair election within his jurisdiction.

Apparently, CBS also doesn’t want you to hear about Virginia Gov. Youngkin, who is trying to clean the state’s voter rolls so non-American citizens can’t vote there.

We need more states doing this, but the Biden-Harris Administration is SUING VIRGINIA and trying to STOP it. pic.twitter.com/10JIJSNkPR

Last, but by no means, Johnson shared a clip discussing the SAVE Act which was edited out by CBS.

The Biden-Harris Admin let millions of illegal aliens in our country.

So, the House passed the SAVE Act to ensure only American citizens vote in American elections.

CBS edited that out and focused on 2020 instead of immediate threats to election integrity. pic.twitter.com/gXa07XFt8k

Although broadcasters regularly edit pre-recorded interviews, it is considered deeply unprofessional to do so in a way which may favor one candidate over another.

It’s not the first time CBS has been accused of this behavior, with Kamala Harris’ “60 Minutes” interview receiving the same edited treatment.

60 Minutes removed Kamala’s word salad in the latest version. 1984 is here.
