CBS News pulled a “60 Minutes” report on El Salvador’s CECOT prison just hours before its scheduled Sunday broadcast, saying it would air at a future time.
“The broadcast lineup for tonight’s edition of 60 Minutes has been updated,” the program posted on social media. “Our report ‘Inside CECOT’ will air in a future broadcast,” the program posted on X and other social media platforms three hours before it was slated to air.
A CBS News spokesperson said in an email that the segment “needed additional reporting.”
The New York Times, quoting from a copy of a note written by Sharyn Alfonsi, a correspondent who reported the segment, said CBS pulled the segment for “political” reasons.

I think that in the coming years we’re going to learn that Bari Weiss and others are just literally running stories by someone in Donald’s White House before they’re published. They didn’t pay that hack $150,000,000 for her “brilliant” media work, after all.
You think the Trump admin tells Larry Ellison what to do?
I don’t think so, but only because he doesn’t need to. These plutocrats all share a worldview.
I do, yes.
We’ve seen too many cases in the last 10 months of clear meddling in news and media companies by the Federal Government. A few examples: The dozens of lawsuits (most of which Donald won), Jimmy Kimmel, and most recently the Kennedy Center controversies and Donald’s insertion of himself into the WB sale.
It’s unreasonable to think Donald isn’t meddling in news agencies at this point.
This article doesn’t repeat the claim, but the NYT article reported that not only did Weiss “suggest” that they talk to Stephen Miller, she gave them his contact information. As if they hadn’t bothered to try and get in touch with him, at all, this whole time. That article correctly noted that if they had to wait for an official Administration response on every story, it gives the Administration a de-facto veto by simply being too busy to reply.
I hope they did text that number, though, just to say “hi”. Who knows what kind of shit he will text back by mistake.

This tactic of obstruction deserves more attention.
freest country in the wold btw
if you don’t like it, leave! lol
i never get tired of hearing this comment; it reveals so much about the one saying it.
“Go away so I don’t have to think about what you say because I am 12” would be too honest
