No, CBS was not 'caught'. Place Fox News or CNN cameras outside the clinic and they would have shot the same footage.
CBS News edits testing story after Project Veritas exposes clinic's line-stuffing ploy
That's what you do when something you film doesn't accurately represent what we're seeing. CBS DID that.
What there is no evidence of CBS doing is getting Cherry Health to pad the car line. THAT would be a story. Read it again, 'clinic's line-stuffing ploy'.
THE story is the usual one of a RW nutter misreporting, misrepresenting, jumping to conclusions, and credulous nutters falling for it. But, that's equivalent to 'dog bites man'.
Now, IF the story changes and CBS is found to have asked Cherry Health to pad the line, I will be back here to say 'my mistake, my bad'.
IF no such evidence is presented, then YOU should be back here to post the same.
I've help my peace out of respect for the departed, but your kind of bullshit post tells me it's business as usual.

CBS News has deleted footage from a Grand Rapids, Mich., health clinic for a report on coronavirus testing after Project Veritas revealed that the clinic packed a line of patients waiting for tests. The story aired last Friday on the franchise program “CBS This Morning” and was reported by Adriana Diaz.
“We found a 25 percent increase in testing at Cherry Health,” says Diaz in the package, referring to a health center with more than 20 sites in Michigan.
One of the shots in the presentation shows cars queuing up:
As it turns out, that queue may not represent the actual demand for coronavirus tests in Grand Rapids. Project Veritas, the sting-video operation headed by James O’Keefe, secured evidence that Cherry Health had padded the line for the sake of appearances while the operation was being showcased in a national news story.

CBS did what they had to do, but James O'Keefe of all people accusing others of "staging" appearances is like the Houston Astros accusing other teams of cheating or Andrew Wakefield accusing other doctors of pseudoscience.
