No it doesn't. The point here is propaganda not a lawsuit. Hypocrisy doesn't matter to the right.

(153,593 posts)3. New evidence makes Trump's crusade against CBS far more difficult
Fox News reportedly edited a Donald Trump event in ways that made the candidate look better which won't help his crusade against CBS and "60 Minutes."

By now, youve probably heard the story. Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for an interview with the news program; some of her answers were edited for time; and the GOP nominee has spent every day since pretending that this is some kind of scandal. Trump has, among other things, called for CBS to lose its broadcasting license, 60 Minutes to be pulled from the air, and for the Democratic nominee to end her candidacy altogether.
After the Republican candidate described the editing of the interview as totally illegal a bonkers claim, by any fair measure Trumps legal team wrote to CBS News this week, threatening litigation.....
Its against this backdrop that CNN reported on Trumps staged event at a New York barbershop this week, which was aired on Fox News:
CNNs report, which has not been independently verified by MSNBC or NBC, added that what Fox News showed viewers omitted numerous Trump tangents and exaggerations, as well as his rambling comments.......
But according to CNNs report, Foxs segment was edited in such a way as to prevent Trump from looking even worse.
The result is a set of questions that seems rather obvious, but are worth asking anyway. Will the former president demand that Fox & Friends be pulled from the air? Will he target Foxs broadcast license? Will he withdraw from the 2024 race as a result of the allegations?
Will he demand that Fox release the full and unedited version of his appearance? Will he characterize the networks edits as totally illegal, a threat to democracy, and the single biggest scandal in broadcast history?
Will Foxs lawyers be hearing from Trumps attorneys?
I have a hunch we know the answers.

[T]he version of the visit shown on television was, to borrow a hairstyle metaphor, a crop cut. Fox edited out many of Trumps rambling comments and false claims. Participants had to repeatedly follow up when Trump meandered away from the original point of their questions. CNN reviewed a more complete video of the barbershop visit that was uploaded to Instagram on the day of Trumps appearance in the Bronx and compared it to the segments that were shown on Fox & Friends on Monday.
