A politically influenced call by the MAGA-curious head of CBS News may have been behind the abrupt axing of an anti-Trump 60 Minutes segment on Sunday, according to an email sent by one of its correspondents.
CBS had promoted a report on 60 Minutes that covered the infamous El Salvador megaprison CECOT, which houses immigrants booted out of the U.S. by Donald Trump.
However, reports on Sunday night suggest that Bari Weiss, 41, the new editor-in-chief at CBS, flexed her muscle to yank the segment off the air with just three hours’ notice.
60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi, 53, sent an email on Sunday stating that Weiss “spiked our story” and that the decision was political, not an editorial call, according to the Wall Street Journal.
CBS is owned by sycophantic nazis and fascists. Of course they are going to spike stories that show them abusing their positions and harming people with impunity. Nothing will change until we see some major wear and tear on the Louisettes.
Edit: The segment has been leaked, thanks to Canada. 🇨🇦

Scumbag
Rename CBS to Wochenschau USA or RT USA. WTF AmeriKa!
MAGA-curious head of CBS News
That sounds much nicer than “explicit republican puppet.” It’s not like she’s been subtle about it.
I’d rather get fired than edit that kind of segment out.
It’s sad watching the US get hollowed out like a coconut that so many billionaires are drilling into so they can fuck it.
