The 60 Minutes Story The Trump Administration Doesn't Want You To See

In her note, Alfonsi said that her team had requested comment from the #WhiteHouse, the #State Department, & #DHS. “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,” Alfonsi wrote.

“For those people that think I am close with the new owners of #CBS, please understand that #60Minutes has treated me far worse since the so-called ‘takeover,’ than they have ever treated me before,” #Trump complained on Truth Social last week.

Ellison is currently making a hostile bid to outmaneuver a rival company, #Netflix, & acquire the media behemoth #WarnerBrosDiscovery. He has been courting Trump’s support for his bid, but #Trump has used recent episodes of “#60Minutes” to suggest he is displeased with Ellison’s stewardship of #CBS.

But #SharynAlfonsi, the veteran “#60Minutes” correspondent who reported the segment, rejected that criticism in a private note to #CBS colleagues on Sunday.…
“Our story was screened 5 times & cleared by both CBS attorneys & Standards & Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.”

#CBS announced the change 3 hours before the broadcast, a highly unusual last-minute switch. The decision was made after #BariWeiss, the new editor in chief of #CBSNews, requested numerous changes to the segment. CBS News said in a statement that the segment would air at a later date & “needed additional reporting.”

#60Minutes correspondent says CBS’s #BariWeiss abruptly pulled segment on #Trump #deportations
In a move that drew harsh criticism from its own correspondent, #CBSNews abruptly removed a segment from Sunday’s episode of “60 Minutes” that was to feature the stories of Venezuelan men deported by the Trump admin to what the program called a “brutal” prison in #ElSalvador.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has walked away after a scheduled appointment at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office after a federal judge ordered that officials could not detain him. Abrego Garcia appeared Friday for the appointment at a Maryland ICE office, some 14 hours after he was released from detention on a judge’s orders. His lawyers asked the judge to block authorities from detaining him again. The judge says officials cannot re-detain him until the court conducts a hearing on the motion for the temporary restraining order. Abrego Garcia became a flashpoint of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown earlier this year when he was wrongly deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador.
