Spencer Pratt accused CBS of election interference, saying the network condensed a one-hour interview into a five-minute 'hit piece' and handed raw footage to the PR team for rival candidate Karen Bass. Pratt said the edited segment emphasized his attacks on Bass, including his claim that a potent drug he called 'super meth' is driving Los Angeles' homelessness crisis, and he demanded CBS release the full interview. Pratt and his wife Heidi Montag, both former reality TV stars from The Hills, are running in the crowded Los Angeles mayoral race. Pratt's accusations could reshape voter perceptions and raise questions about media editing practices and newsroom access during a high-profile municipal election.
