‘60 Minutes’ To Air ‘Inside CECOT’ Segment On Trump Deportations That Was Pulled From December Broadcast

The segment is on the Venezuelan migrants that the Trump administration sent to an El Salvador prison.

What was removed that gave the Trump Administration a fit?

It was "complete" enough to air on CBS's CANADIAN affiliate. Why the wait?

I'm sure folks who managed to snag the version from Canada will be doing a frame-by-frame comparison to see if Bari Weiss pulls any shenanigans.

There's not any way I can watch CBS less than I already do. They only get my eyes during tornado warnings.

The stated "issue" was Weiss didn't think Sharyn Alfonsi gave the administration's side of the story when Alfonsi actually reached out to several officials and they declined to be interviewed.

In reality, Weiss killed the piece because it made the administration look very, very bad.

And most people who wanted to see it watched it from there or unofficial uploads. As biggles points out, any edits Weiss makes to the segment will be clear and obvious. The damage is already done.

Or AI altered imagery to literally whitewash the place. After all, they only need to please one viewer.

To be fair, I don't know if they expected it would run when it was pulled by CBS, but by the time the word got out, I think was already too late as Canada was ready to run it.
