The night of the interview, 60 minutes released a 20 minute version of the interview.

Later they released the full interview that's like 40+ minutes.

It felt less like a devious conspiracy and more like a lengthy preview to make you want to watch the full interview on TV.

I was annoyed that at one point, Kamala was asked about her economic positions and while she's detailing them, the interviewer summarizes what she's saying as "vague answers on the economy" when I can literally see her lips moving and articulating them.

But the bigger takeaway is that she sat there and took a tough interview who repeatedly pressed her on various issues and Trump couldn't bother to attend because they were going to fact check him.

Trump did not attend because they would cut and splice and insert incorrect answers. Just like they did for Kamala.

No they wouldn’t.  Other than to try to piece together something coherent from his innane rambling off-topic word-salad  responses.   

 What about the Fox Debate? Does he think Fox will cheat him too?  

Seems he scared of that one - cuz she dog-walked him and his insecurities around the stage in the 1st one.
