Let's listen to that.

Barry Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon.

Two of the things in the email include, can we make the protesters look more violent, right?

Now, I'm paraphrasing, I don't have the quote, but that's what was communicated to me.

And the other thing was, Renee Good's car, you need to describe her as driving toward the officer.

We have gone out of our way in our plan from the very beginning to show the protesters for the responsibility that they had.

We had already scrubbed the video archives looking for those scenes.

But it somehow wasn't enough for Ms.

Weiss.

The video showed that the officer wasn't standing in front of the car and she wasn't driving toward him, but that's what the president said about that, and that's the way she wanted it described.

I want to actually start by just asking you how you're feeling in this moment.

Well, if we want to talk about it at an emotional level, the best thing that I can imagine in terms of describing it is that it's like your spouse was murdered.

Whoa.

There's some moments of the day I feel fine.

There are some moments of the day that I just frankly fall apart when I least expect it.

But I do want to be clear that I do not feel sorry for me.

I don't care about me.

I'm fine.

I care about these people that I left behind, the people who are still trapped there.

That's a family at 60 Minutes.
