Bari Weiss, the new editor-in-chief of CBS News, censored a segment of 60 Minutes about deported men in El Salvador, leading to its unauthorized online circulation. The segment detailed horrific conditions at a prison called CECOT, where detainees faced torture and abuse, and was pulled after receiving multiple internal approvals. Weiss’s decision has been criticized as politically motivated, as she required additional reporting from the Trump administration before airing. The move has sparked concerns over journalistic integrity and the influence of government on news coverage.
