Overview

  • Face the Nation will now air interviews live or live-to-tape, with national security or legal exceptions, and will continue posting full transcripts and unedited video online.
  • The shift followed Noem’s complaint that the program removed portions of her remarks about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
  • CBS had posted the full 16:40 exchange with Ed O’Keefe online while the broadcast version ran 12:15, and initially said the edit was for time and met its standards.
  • A DHS spokesperson hailed the decision as a victory for viewers seeking the full record, while media critics warned unedited segments could amplify unverified claims and strain real-time fact-checking.
  • The policy arrives after a year of scrutiny over CBS edits, including Paramount’s $16 million settlement with President Trump related to a 60 Minutes segment and the company’s merger with Skydance.
