> The problem is exactly that Stephanapolous used the word rapist. His producer warned him several times. It is a lie. Words have meanings. You can’t call someone something they are not, hence the $16m paid by ABC.
The jury found that Trump committed acts that meet the common definition of rape and the definition of rape under the laws of most US states, but not the narrower definition of rape under New York's penal code, so it is not really a lie to say that Trump is a rapist as long as you are not saying that he was found liable in court for rape.
That's why E Jean Carroll can say Trump raped her and he has not been able to make her stop. She's speaking using the common usage of the word.
> You have to wonder why a ‘news’ source would make an edit like the Harris edit, don’t you?
Not really. As with most interviews they shot more material than would fit in the airtime available, so edited it down to fit. For one answer that they used in a preview clip during "Face the Nation" they used a longer version than they used for the interview segment on "60 Minutes".
Comparing both of these to the raw transcript of the full interview shows that the editing for neither the "60 Minutes" segment nor the "Face the Nation" preview changed the message or was deceitful or manipulative.
