    I mean, they succeeded in so far as it wasn’t included in the US National broadcast. The overwhelming majority of CBS viewers will not see this. YouTube won’t host it. You won’t see it on TikTok. You won’t see it trending on Twitter. Anyone with the genuine impulse to search out the video doesn’t need convincing that CECOT is operating as a horrifying torture and death camp for victims of an American pogrom.

    That Weiss was sloppy in her management of CBS won’t matter in the long run, because stories like this won’t be funded for research and broadcast in the future, either. The network is being strangled to death and replaced with a full lineup of segments starring Steven Crowder screaming “What is a woman!?!” at college freshmen in between ads for PragerU.

      I’m the only person in my family who watches 60 Minutes, but tonight, the whole family is watching this video.

      Edit: We watched it. I thought I was going to have to pirate it, but it showed up on my YouTube feed, so it was still up at about 11 PM EST.
