EMMYS TROLL WITH “BEST EDITING” NOD FOR HARRIS INTERVIEW HE CALLED A LIE
CBS lands Emmy nomination for segment at center of Trump’s $20B lawsuit: “You can’t make this up,” says insider
In a plot twist worthy of a late-night punchline, the Emmy Awards have nominated a news segment currently at the heart of a $20 billion lawsuit — and the category? Outstanding Edited Interview.
The interview in question — a high-profile 60 Minutes sit-down with Vice President Kamala Harris — came under fire for allegedly manipulating her remarks by airing different portions across multiple CBS programs.
But now, the segment is being recognized by the News & Documentary Emmys specifically for its editing — a move that has not gone unnoticed in media circles.
“You can’t make this up,” one TV insider told #ShuterScoop. “They’re being sued over how they cut it — and now they’re being celebrated for that exact thing.”
The nomination is being seen by some as a subtle industry clapback, praising the journalistic craftsmanship of a segment that sparked headlines, lawsuits, and heated political debate.
“It’s pure Emmy-level trolling,” another insider quipped.
As the legal battle plays out, CBS may end up walking away with more than just courtroom drama — they could be adding another trophy to the shelf.
