I guess this means freedom of the press is gone too. Actually, it's been gone for quite a while. This just confirms it.

An unedited interview is always a disaster for Trump. CBS would edit out the stupidity and dementia, but Trump and Leavitt are insisting they keep that stuff in. Incredibly idiotic.
