A politically influenced call by the MAGA-curious head of CBS News may have been behind the abrupt axing of an anti-Trump 60 Minutes segment on Sunday, according to an email sent by one of its correspondents.
CBS had promoted a report on 60 Minutes that covered the infamous El Salvador megaprison CECOT, which houses immigrants booted out of the U.S. by Donald Trump.
However, reports on Sunday night suggest that Bari Weiss, 41, 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, 53, sent an email on Sunday stating that Weiss “spiked our story” and that the decision was political, not an editorial call, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Amerinazi has successfully captured the fourth pillar of democracy. This isn’t breaking news, it has been happening for years. I mean, I am just spouting shit at this point, but nothing is going to change. They control the legislative, executive, judicial and media, all four pillars.
How and why do they ever reliquish power and control?
