Fox News
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacked CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, accusing her of having "killed" a "60 Minutes" segment on El Salvador's CECOT prison that actually aired.
Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
"We saw what happened with that '60 Minutes' piece on [Center for Confinement of Terrorism] CECOT. Bari Weiss killed it. And she’s not there because she’s a good journalist; she’s there because she kisses billionaire butt, and she makes them look good, and she executes on the censorship agenda that they want to see put out," Ocasio-Cortez told Lemon.
The CECOT "60 Minutes" segment aired on Jan. 18, after initially being delayed by Weiss at the end of December.
