Liberal Media In Complete Meltdown After Bari Weiss Cuts CECOT Segment From ’60 Minutes’

CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss sparked outrage at the network on Sunday after she pulled a “60 Minutes” segment about El Salvador’s infamous prison off the air.

Weiss reportedly made the decision not to run the segment, “Inside CECOT,” as planned after officials in President Donald Trump’s administration refused to be interviewed, according to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ). The decision came following President Donald Trump’s recent complaint on Truth Social that “60 Minutes” has treated him worse after Weiss took over the company.

Some staff are threatening to quit over the move, CNN’s Brian Stelter reported on X.

Weiss reportedly suggested that the reporters interview White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller and gave them his number, CNN reported.

Journalist Sharyn Alfonsi wrote in an email to her colleagues that she believed the decision was political rather than editorial, according to the WSJ. She stated that the segment had been repeatedly screened and contained all “factually correct” information.

“Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story,” Alfonsi said in the email. “If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.”
