NEW YORK, NY — Following allegations of showing different clips of Kamala answering the same question, CBS News defended themselves by revealing they interviewed Kamala Harris for 721 hours in order to compile 60 minutes of usable footage.

A spokesperson for CBS News disclosed that the network had spent months working tirelessly to accumulate enough usable video to piece together in order to produce this week’s episode of 60 Minutes.

“People don’t understand how much work we had to put into this show,” said CBS News public relations representative Jeannie Landrum. “We started meeting with Vice President Harris back in July, scheduled regular talks with her along the campaign trail, and ran our poor video editors into the ground to cobble this interview together. People criticizing it just don’t realize all the blood, sweat, and tears that were shed to make this episode possible. And the hours… my goodness, the hours.”

One editor admitted on the condition of anonymity that he nearly quit during the project. “I went weeks without seeing my family,” he said. “Now, I’m left with horrible nightmares about the footage we had to cut. Trust me, you do not want to see what ended up on the cutting room floor.”

At publishing time, a CBS News insider revealed the network had reached out to famed movie special effects company Industrial Light & Magic to create all future Kamala Harris interviews by using advanced computer-generated imagery.
