CBS News posted the full interview with Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt after he vowed to boycott the network over its editing decisions. 

"After CBS embarrassed Karen Bass by fact-checking her debate lies about the Palisades Fire, they clearly got the call. CBS filmed with me on my burned out lot for over an hour, and they turned it over to Karen Bass’ PR team to edit it into a comical 5 minute hit piece with clips from 'The Hills,'" Pratt wrote on social media.

"They can’t beat my ideas, they can’t beat me in the debates, so they gotta try to turn my campaign into a sideshow."

He continued, writing, "People are done with these skeezy political tricks, and I’m done with CBS. They’ll never get a word from me for my next 8 years as mayor. Adios! What outlet should I have in their absence?"

Later, CBS released the full interview and Pratt applauded the move.

"A new era of responsible journalism! Thank you to CBS for posting our full interview so the voters can hear from their next Mayor!" he wrote.
