On Sunday, CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss scrapped a segment on "60 Minutes" about President Donald Trump's efforts to send deportees to the infamous CECOT prison in El Salvador. The video features testimony from deportees who said officers told them they "would never see the light of day again." It aired in Canada even though the segment was not shown in the U.S.
This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!!" ex-conservative lawyer and Democratic candidate for Congress George Conway posted on X. "Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!"
"Yes, this is real. Yes, it's astonishing," CNN media expert Brian Stelter posted on X. "Global TV, which airs 60 Minutes in Canada, uploaded the original version of Sunday's episode, including the Sharyn Alfonsi segment that Bari Weiss shelved. And now people all across the internet are watching the segment."
"Its not just the New York Times. Its not just Tucker Carlson. Its not just MSNBC. Its not just Megyn Kelly. Its not just Peter Twinklage. CANADA effectively told Bari Weiss to pound sand tonight!" Peter Rothpletz, contributor to Zeteo News, posted on X.
The most dangerous thing about this segment is that it shows America that these immigrants being sent to the foreign gulags are human beings, and the real monsters are the people denying them due process, abducting them and sending them there," Melanie D'Arrigo, executive director for the Campaign for NY Health, posted on X.

An average Sunday night audience of 60 Minutes is 8.3 million to 10 million viewers here in the U.S. Digital Media clips of the segments weekly after that 90 to 140 million views. Let's blow it out of the water DU !!! Link it, pass it on. Go for it. Peace.

(6,195 posts)... is a psychopath, an irredeemable monster, and a source of indelible shame that this country will not live down for a long, long time.
Putin, with the help of his useful idiot, Donald J. Trump and his malignant minions, has succeeded in destroying America's standing in the civilized world. Every Republican in the nation, to varying degrees, is forever branded as an accomplice to this obscene travesty. Miller, Noem, Homan, and all of the active participants in this crime MUST be prosecuted.
Those who simply chose to believe Trump's blatant and malicious lies, and gleefully attended his rallies intended to assuage his fragile and insatiable ego, should be ashamed of themselves. They did not Make America Great Again, they brought Her to Her knees, debased Her, and cheered Her humiliation.
Though they may not be guilty of direct association with Trump's crimes, as those Republicans in government most certainly are, their judgement can never be trusted again, and the hard-core Trump-humping sycophants who refuse to acknowledge their responsibility will never be forgiven.
It's going to be a long, hard road to redemption for America, so the richest nation ever to exist on Earth had better get started by using that incredible wealth to do some real good here at home, and in the world, and to atone for the harm that irredeemably rotten people inflicted on others in Her name.
And oh, yeah... Merry Christmas, though another Happy New Year may be a long time coming.

They simply cannot imagine that things wouldn't work out the way they do in their feverish, Fascist dreams. Then Reality says, "Let me hold your beer".

(7,438 posts)for sex, for money... it doesn't make any difference the *why*... they were trafficked to El Salvador for one sort of favor or another. And rump was at the heart of it. If he doesn't die, he HAS to be put in jail for rape, for child rape, and for human trafficking... and then start adding the charges of insurrection and treason!
