CBS News Finally Releases '60 Minutes' Report ‘Inside CECOT’
HuffPost
“CBS News leadership has always been committed to airing the 60 MINUTES CECOT piece as soon as it was ready,” a spokesperson said.
CBS News released the “60 Minutes” segment “Inside CECOT,” on Sunday ― one month after editor-in-chief Bari Weiss abruptly stopped it from airing.
The delayed segment centered on the Trump administration sending Venezuelan migrants to CECOT, the infamous prison in El Salvador known for its cruel conditions. Although Weiss halted it from airing in the states, a 13-minute version was temporarily released in Canada and widely shared online.
Weiss’ decision, which made headlines and caused significant backlash, reportedly stemmed from her desire to include an on-camera interview with a member of the Trump administration despite the administration’s refusal to do so.
“We need to be able to make every effort to get the principals on the record and on camera,” Weiss reportedly said during an editorial meeting after pulling the package. “To me, our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else, and that is my North Star, and I hope it’s the North Star of every person in this newsroom.”
In an internal note at the time, correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi described Weiss’ move as “political” because the segment had already met internal reporting standards.
