'Liar...': CNN Faces Backlash for Faking Kamala Harris’s Pre-Recorded Interview as 'Live'

Washington: In her debut interview as the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, along with running mate Tim Walz, gave a candid discussion to CNN. Although, CNN presented the interview as ‘live’, it was pre-recorded, encountering backlash and criticism from people. 

Vice President Kamala Harris sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash for her first major TV interview since becoming the Democrats’ presidential nominee. The interview took place in Savannah during a bus tour through Georgia, a crucial Sun Belt state, and featured her alongside Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

The broadcast sparked controversy as viewers and netizens criticized CNN for misleadingly labeling the pre-recorded interview as live.

"Why does it say 'Live' in the bottom right when it's not?" said social media personality Aka on X, formerly Twitter.

Comedian and public speaker Tim Young also voiced his frustration on X, stating, "CNN lied, claiming Kamala's interview was 'live' when it was pre-taped the entire time."

During the interview, Harris addressed questions on her evolving stance on key issues like fracking, defended her record on immigration, and discussed the Biden administration’s economic policies.
