What makes you say that? Can you point to me exactly where in the interview they did this? What lines did they remove to make her answer more coherent? How did the manner in which they edited the Kamala interview differ from the way CBS or other news orgs generally edit interviews for clarity and brevity?
How did they completely change her answers? In what way was that interview edited in a manner inconsistent with standard journalistic practices?
They absolutely did not.
Stop lying to protect your party. The whole interview is out now and we know they did edit her answers to questions. They specifically separated her answers to individual questions into separate parts and aired them as answers to totally different questions.

Alternate thread title: “CBS Caves to Intimidation , Agrees to Settle Trump’s Frivolous Lawsuit.”
First Amendment scholars are not particularly thrilled with this suit.
“In the case, filed before a Trump-appointed federal judge in Eastern Texas, Trump's legal team argued that CBS engaged in "unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive and substantial news distortion."
"Am I supposed to take that seriously?" asks University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias, who specializes in First Amendment issues. "I do not understand how suits that are arguably frivolous or meritless — that have very little substance and wouldn't amount to large judgment if you went to trial — are then settled for millions of dollars."
"It's laughable and it's an affront to the First Amendment," Northwestern University law professor Heidi Kitrosser says of Trump's case. "His concern first and foremost is to intimidate the press."
CBS should never have agreed to settle. As usual, when Trump wins, freedom, the Constitution, and the rest of us lose.
EDIT: in case anyone misses it from my first link, this case was judge shopped. Trump filed the suit in Amarillo, TX despite CBS not being located in that state or the Harris interview taking place in that state, so they can get their favorite far right, abortion-pill-banning judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk.
Liar
You are so utterly full of shit.
How does that violate their guidelines? Read it carefully:
Its not saying that you have to include the entirety of their answers or else you inform the viewer, it says that if you are going to use multiple excerpts from the same speech/interview then you must arrange them in the order that they appeared originally or else you inform the viewer. Which is to say if you ask the candidate three questions you can choose to remove one for clarity/brevity but you would have to arrange the remaining ones in order in which they occurred in the interview. So if you remove question #2 you would have to publish the interview questions/responses in order so question #1 comes before #3. If you change that order you must inform the viewer, for example for dramatic effect you might first show their response to question #3 but then say "earlier in the interview, the candidate gave this response" and then show question/response #1.
And I’m not surprised that partisans are trying to justify literally lying to the public to promote a favored candidate because “orange man bad.”If they went to trial CBS would almost certainly win but Paramount is worried about Trump blocking a corporate merger so they're settling.
Basically Trump is using the office of the presidency to extort media companies.
The actual danger here is a sitting president etaliating against a media company because they published something he didn't like during the campaign but no surprise to see the usual War Room suspects clapping like trained seals for it.
The transcript of the whole interview has been out for months, dude. In fact, the story in your link is from February.Stop lying to protect your party. The whole interview is out now and we know they did edit her answers to questions. They specifically separated her answers to individual questions into separate parts and aired them as answers to totally different questions.
Uncut ‘60 Minutes’ Kamala Harris interview reveals ‘word salad’ responses were heavily edited by CBS — snipped Israel answer to just 20 words
Tiffany Network published two never-before-seen excerpts from the sit-down, which critics say was deceptively edited to help the Democratic nominee.
I have yet to see any evidence that CBS did anything unlawful or even unusual in editing the Kamala interview, if you'd like to please show me where you think they did so.
Do you think it’s a good thing that such editing is both legal and usual? This is blatant manipulation of crucial information during an election year.
I haven't seen anyone articulate a valid concern with it so I don't see the issue with it
How so? Can you explain with reference to the interview itself?
No one cared about editing interviews for clarity and brevity, standard journalistic practice, until Trump made it a partisan issue and so far no one can explain to me exactly what CBS did wrong so it very much does seem that you only care it because "orange man" told you to.
You haven’t seen the edited clip in question?
I have and I've read a transcript that specifies which parts were included in the short ad and which were included in the interview that was aired. I'm asking you what you think they did wrong exactly and whether you think it differs from standard journalistic practice.
I think editing the clip to remove 2/3rds of her response was wrong. It’s scary that you seem to have no problem with this… and I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.
Can you explain exactly what was wrong with that edit with reference to the interview itself? Did you happen to know that the interviewer's answers were also edited for clarity and brevity?
No one cared about this standard journalistic practice until Trump made it a partisan issue and in the end that's the real problem, a sitting president using the leverage of the Oval Office to carry out personal vendettas against media companies.
