New details are shedding light on Bari Weiss’ contentious eleventh-hour decision to hold a 60 Minutes report on Sunday.
Weiss, the controversial new editor-in-chief of CBS News, brought the credibility of the network’s flagship program into question after pulling a segment that detailed the grisly conditions at an El Salvador megaprison where Venezuelan men deported by Donald Trump were held.
While Weiss claimed the segment was held for additional reporting, sources inside CBS News say her decision was driven by mounting pressure tied to Trump himself.
Weiss is very clearly unqualified for the editor-in-chief role and it’s going to be fun watching her implode along with CBS News.

> In total, the story was reportedly screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and the Standards and Practices department.
What a fucking joke journalism and American media has become.

Your propaganda czar is not so good at her job Trump. Time for Trump to turn on her and start saying horrible misogynistic shit.

Honestly, doing this kind of thing at a journalist organization is going to automatically be harder to contain leaks. Journalists know other journalists, and a lot of them probably have a code to provide each other with anonymous leaks about these kinds of things when they happen.

Time to boycott 60 Minutes and all CBS news.
