OK, the 60 Minutes segment. Did we NOT EXPECT Trump fangirl Bari Weiss to be pulling this kind of sh*t? [View all]

The network said the segment on the Terrorism Confinement Center—dubbed CECOT or Terrorism Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo in Spanish—will now be aired at a later date instead, claiming it needed additional reporting.

However, reports on Sunday night suggest Bari Weiss, the new editor-in-chief at CBS, flexed her muscle to yank the segment off the air with just three hours notice.

60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi sent an email on Sunday stating that Weiss “spiked our story” and that the motivation was a political decision, not an editorial call, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The email was posted in full on X by CNN Media Analyst Brian Stelter, With Alfonsi stating the team had asked Weiss to discuss her 11th-hour call to pull the segment but “She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity.”
