60 Minutes only airs 20 minutes

Reason: "Transcript Proves the 60 Minutes Scandal Was Always Fake - Donald Trump's complaints were always meritless, but CBS' capitulation sets a dangerous precedent for the future of the news media."

Yeah, I wasn't exactly blown away by the "evidence" of a cover-up considering that all television shows have to do a certain amount of editing.  But why was "60 Minutes" so bound to showing only 20 minutes when they clearly had time to show much more of the interview with a Presidential candidate?  I, for one, would have liked to have seen the "why do you want to be President" question that (predictably) ran into a ditch with Kamala's standard word salad of citing "ambitions, dreams and aspirations."  

That verbal tic trio appeared so often in Kamala's speeches and interviews that you can visualize the focus group memo upon which it was borne.
